Autoimmune pancreatitis: A bibliometric analysis from 2002 to 2022

Abstract

Background/ObjectivesAutoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a distinct form of pancreatic inflammatory disease that responds well to glucocorticoid therapy. Knowledge on AIP has rapidly evolved over the past two decades. Based on bibliometric analysis, this study aimed to assess the research status of AIP over the past two decades and determine the research focus and emerging topics.MethodsAIP-related publications published between January 1, 2002, and June 6, 2022, were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. Bibliometric data were analyzed using HisCite, VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and bibliometrix package. Annual output, leading countries/regions, active institutions and authors, core journals and references, and keywords of AIP were evaluated.ResultsOverall, 1,772 publications were retrieved from 501 journals by 6,767 authors from 63 countries/regions. Japan published articles on AIP the most (n=728, 41.1%), followed by the United States (n=336, 19%), Germany (n=147, 8.3%), China (n=127, 7%), and Italy (n=107, 6%). The top three most prolific authors were Terumi Kamisawa from Tokyo Metropolitan Komagome Hospital (n=117), Kazuichi Okazaki from Kansai Medical University (n=103), and Shigeyuki Kawa from Matsumoto Dental University (n=94). Pancreas was the most productive journal regarding AIP research (n=95), followed by the Journal of Gastroenterology (n=67), Internal Medicine (n=66), Pancreatology (n=63), and World Journal of Gastroenterology (n=62). “Diagnosis” was the most mentioned keyword. “Risk,” “malignancy,” “outcome,” “22-gauge needle,” and “fine-needle aspiration” were recognized as emerging topics.ConclusionJapan was the leading country in AIP research. Research papers were mainly published in specialized journals. Diagnosis was the research focus. Long-term outcomes and pancreatic tissue acquisition were recognized as research frontiers for AIP.

Hotspots and trends of electrochemical biosensor technology: a bibliometric analysis from 2003 to 2023

“…Keyword burst detection is a useful tool for identifying research frontiers and emerging topics in a particular field over time. 22 A burst keyword is one that appears frequently in a given period of time, providing insight into the evolution of research hotspots and trends. To gain a better understanding of the development of electrochemical biosensor research, the top 25 keyword terms with the strongest emergent strength analysed from 2003 to 2023 are illustrated in Fig.…”

Visual analysis of global research on the transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 channel: A literature review from 2002 to 2022

“…TRPA1 is the only member of the TRPA subfamily of mammalian TRP channels [ 46 ]. However, differences in the structure of TRPA1 have been verified between species, with mammals expressing only one functional TRPA1, while four functional TRPA1s have been identified in drosophila [ 47 ].…”

Research hotspots and trend of wrist arthroscopy: A bibliometrics analysis from 2013 to 2023

“…It is now widely used in medical fields, such as orthopedics, autoimmune diseases, etc. [ 15 – 17 ] However, no bibliometric studies on wrist arthroscopy have been found in recent years. Therefore, in this study, we utilized sophisticated bibliometric tools, including CiteSpace, [ 18 ] VOSviewer, [ 19 ] R package“Bibliometrix,” [ 20 ] and an online analysis platform ( https://bibliometric.com ), to obtain comprehensive data on references related to wrist arthroscopy literature.…”
