Lines of code and keywords: articles and patents on policosanol biorefine routes

To patents prospect was used the modality Advanced Search and IP Business Intelligence of Orbit^Ò seekers (version 1.9.8). The choice is justified because search 35 technology domains, as well as names of companies and technical concepts standard; inventor, representative, dates, country (precise positioning algorithms), legal status, mutual references, proper graphical interface. The harmonization of search code lines was from the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E or Web of Science - WoS) and Scopus (Elsevier) bases. The policosanol spelling variants, with "y" or "i", and suffix variations “ultrasonic” or “ultrasound” were considered. The Ibero-American countries surveyed (with available databases) are, in alphabetical order of acronyms: AR - Argentina, BR - Brazil, CL - Chile, CO - Colombia, CR - Cota Rica, CU - Cuba, DO - Dominican Republic, EC - Ecuador, ES - Spain, GT - Guatemala, HN - Honduras, MX - Mexico, NI - Nicaragua, PA - Panama, PE - Peru, PT - Portugal, SV - El Salvador, UY - Uruguay. The data from Bolivia, Haiti, Paraguay and Venezuela are unavailable. Work conducted during a scholarship supported by the Institutional Sandwich Doctorate Program Abroad (PDSE) at the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA), Salvador, Brazil, and University of Valladolid (UVA), Palencia, Spanish.本专利检索工作采用了Orbit^®检索平台（版本1.9.8）的高级检索（Advanced Search）与知识产权商业智能（IP Business Intelligence）功能模块。该检索方案的选择具备充分合理性，可支持对35个技术领域、企业名称及标准化技术概念的检索，同时覆盖发明人、代理人、检索日期、国家（含精准定位算法）、法律状态、相互引用关系等维度，并配备完善的图形化交互界面。本次检索所用检索式的统一规范，参考了科学引文索引扩展版（Science Citation Index Expanded，SCI-E，又称Web of Science - WoS）与斯高帕斯数据库（Scopus，爱思唯尔（Elsevier）旗下）的检索代码体系。针对多廿烷醇（Policosanol）的拼写变体（如词尾使用y或i的不同形式），以及"ultrasonic"与"ultrasound"两类后缀变体，本次研究均予以纳入考量。 本次纳入调研的伊比利亚美洲国家（可获取对应数据库资源）按国家代码字母顺序依次为：AR - 阿根廷、BR - 巴西、CL - 智利、CO - 哥伦比亚、CR - 哥斯达黎加、CU - 古巴、DO - 多米尼加共和国、EC - 厄瓜多尔、ES - 西班牙、GT - 危地马拉、HN - 洪都拉斯、MX - 墨西哥、NI - 尼加拉瓜、PA - 巴拿马、PE - 秘鲁、PT - 葡萄牙、SV - 萨尔瓦多、UY - 乌拉圭。玻利维亚、海地、巴拉圭与委内瑞拉的相关数据无法获取。本研究依托巴西萨尔瓦多市巴伊亚联邦大学（Federal University of Bahia，UFBA）与西班牙帕伦西亚市巴利亚多利德大学（University of Valladolid，UVA）的海外联合博士奖学金（Institutional Sandwich Doctorate Program Abroad，PDSE）项目开展。
