Breast cancer research output, 1945-2008: a bibliometric and density-equalizing analysis

Abstract: Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women, with an estimated 194,280 new cases diagnosed in the United States in 2009 alone. The primary aim of this work was to provide an in-depth evaluation of research yield in breast cancer from 1945 to 2008, using large-scale data analysis, the employment of bibliometric indicators of production and quality, and density-equalizing mapping.

“…Although the overall productivity of research publication was highest for the United States, but per capita productivity was higher in Western European countries such of Sweden. It can be caused by economic development which had a significant impact on research productivity, with higher income nations likes the United States contributing to a majority of publications which supported by the previous studies (Glynn et al, 2010;Perez-Santos et al, 2013).…”

“…They were many bibliometric researches in the field of oncology (Ugolini and Mela, 2003;Ugolini et al, 2007;Michon and Tummers, 2009;Chua et al, 2011). However, few studies have documented patterns of publications in clinical and basic science research involving breast cancer research output (Glynn et al, 2010;Perez-Santos and Anaya-Ruiz, 2013).…”
