Bibliometric analysis of potassium channel research

Abstract

Objective: To explore the research status, hotspots, and trends in research on potassium channel. Methods: The Web of Science core collection database was used as the data source and the visual analysis software Citespace5.4 R3 was used to visualize the studies of potassium channel in the past 10 years. The national/institutional distribution, journal distribution, authors, and related research were discussed. Results 17,392 articles were obtained. The USA, Peoples R China, Germany, England, and Japan were the main countries in the field and University of California was the most important institution for the study of potassium channel. PLoS One was the most productive journal and proceedings of the national academy of sciences of the united states of america was the most frequently cited journal in potassium channel research. The author with the highest number was Colin G Nichols and the author with the highest co-cited frequency was Sanguinetti MC. The three hot spots of potassium channel research were gene expression, Ca2+ activated k+ channel and nitric oxide. The top four research frontiers of potassium channel research were bk channel,blood pressure,oxidative stress and electrophysiology. Conclusion The study provides a perspective for understanding the potassium channel research and provides valuable information for potassium channel researchers to identify potential collaborators, partner institutions, hot topics and research frontiers.

Bibliometric Analysis of Global Research Trends on Ultrasound Microbubble: A Quickly Developing Field

“…The WoSCC covers a considerable amount of highquality scientific literature in the biomedical, natural, and social sciences, and it was used as the main data source. It is regarded as one of the most widely accepted and suitable databases for bibliometric analysis of scientific publications (Shi et al, 2020;Wang et al, 2019;Merigó et al, 2019;Chen et al, 2021). In addition, the Scopus database (searched at https:// www.scopus.com/) was also searched to validate the results obtained from the WoSCC and provided as supplementary material.…”

“…Second, we employed two widely used scientometric software tools to conduct the present study in paralle, and could get more comprehensive and reliable analysis results. Third, unlike previous similar bibliometric studies, whose results derive from only one database, two databases (WoSCC and Scopus) were employed in this study, which could provide a comprehensive analysis of ultrasound microbubble research (Merigó et al, 2019;Wang et al, 2019;Shi et al, 2020;Chen et al, 2021).…”

“…Several visualization tools like CiteSpace (Synnestvedt et al, 2005), VOS viewer (van Eck and Waltman, 2010), and HistCite (Gu et al, 2019) have been developed to help researchers create knowledge maps, evaluate the latest cutting-edge research progress, and visualize the trends in scientific publications (Laengle et al, 2020;Modak et al, 2020). Until now, these tools have been used for estimating the research trends in various medical fields, such as potassium channels (Shi et al, 2020), exosomes (Wang et al, 2019), the mTOR signaling pathway (Fang et al, 2020), and nonmedical fields (Laengle et al, 2020;Modak et al, 2020).…”
