Abstract: Abstract The article published on 5 July 2021 is well-written and of interest. However, some improvements could be made, such as ten Tables/Figures can be shortened to highlight the focused results, and the author-weighted scheme(AWS) has not taken into account to fairly quantify contributions in articles. We demonstrated contributions in countries/regions to professionalism-related articles between 2010 and 2019 using the AWS and x-index. The US states and provinces in China were identified in the comparison of research achievements with other counterparts. Otherwise, the US always dominates the scientific disciplines around the world. We observed that the top three counties/regions were the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia in weighted publications, and the US, Canada, and Illinois(US) in weighted citations denoted by the x-index. Many journals require only five Tables and Figures in an article for focusing their findings as concisely as possible. The AWS-based x-index was demonstrated using the choropleth map and the Kano diagram to display research achievements on Google Maps.
