Bibliometric Analysis of Global Research on Tumor Dormancy

Abstract

Tumor dormancy continues to be a research hotspot with numerous pressing problems that need to be solved. The goal of this study is to perform a bibliometric analysis of pertinent articles published in the twenty-first century. We concentrate on significant keywords, nations, authors, affiliations, journals, and literature in the field of tumor dormancy, which will help researchers to review the results that have been achieved and better understand the directions of future research. We retrieved research articles on tumor dormancy from the Web of Science Core Collection. This study made use of the visualization tools VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and Scimago Graphica, as visualization helps us to uncover the intrinsic connections between information. Research on tumor dormancy has been growing in the 21st century, especially from 2015 to the present. The United States is a leader in many aspects of this research area, such as in the number of publications, the number of partners, the most productive institutions, and the authors working in this field. Harvard University is the institution with the highest number of publications, and Aguirre-Ghiso, Julio A. is the author with the highest number of publications and citations. The keywords that emerged after 2017 were “early dissemination”, “inhibition”, “mechanism”, “bone metastasis”, and “promotion”. We believe that research on tumor dormancy mechanisms and therapy has been, and will continue to be, a major area of interest. The exploration of the tumor dormancy microenvironment and immunotherapeutic treatments for tumor dormancy is likely to represent the most popular future research topics.

Psychosocial and psychological interventions for schizophrenia relapse prevention: A bibliometric analysis

“…Notably, since core authors had published 78.31% of the total publications, it appears that the core author group is stable and plays an essential role in this domain. Additionally, the authors with the most publications were identified; Leucht Stefan (from Germany) was the most productive author, suggesting that these productive authors have made outstanding contributions to the field, and their future in-depth research is expected to provide the latest information in this field (Zhao et al, 2022 ; Zhang et al, 2023 ).…”

Mapping the current trends and hotspots on depression comorbid with insomnia: A bibliometric analysis

“…In this analysis, only scienti c research collaborations between institutions with 6 or more publications were considered, and 60 of the 1221 institutions were ultimately included in the network analysis. The University of Pittsburgh stands out with the highest number of documents (31), followed closely by Stanford University (22), the University of Oxford (19), the University of Pennsylvania (19), and Duke University (16) (Fig. 3A).…”

“…Our aim is to conduct a bibliometric analysis using Citespace (6.1.R6), VOSviewer (1.6. 19), and Scimago Graphica (1.0.35) to provide a scienti c reference for scholars [22][23][24] . Through the evaluation of existing data, our goal is to assist researchers in identifying detailed research topics, global research trends, and hot spots within the eld of the comorbidity between depression and insomnia.…”

Research landscape and trends of cerebral amyloid angiopathy: a 25-year scientometric analysis

“…Therefore, scientometric analysis conveniently provides an understanding of the development and frontiers of a particular research field for new researchers. Scientometric analysis has been applied widely in a variety of medical fields, such as psychiatry ( 11 , 12 ), oncology ( 13 ), infectious diseases ( 14 ), nursing ( 15 ), and neurology ( 16 , 17 ).…”
