“…Moreover, bibliometric analysis focuses on the metrological characteristics of research literatures within a certain field ( Ellegaard & Wallin, 2015 ), which helps investigators to grasp the development characteristics in this field over time and guide their follow-up work. In recent years, an increasing number of bibliometric studies have been published in high-impact medical journals ( Aggarwal et al, 2016 ; Almeida-Guerrero et al, 2018 ; Azer, 2015 ; Baek et al, 2018 ; Bruggmann et al, 2017 ; Khan et al, 2018 ). Journals have also gradually shifted from publishing only conventional research to including bibliometric research ( Wakeling et al, 2017 ).…”

ObjectivesTo comprehensively analyse the global scientific outputs of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) research.MethodsData of publications were downloaded from the Web of Science Core Collection. We used CiteSpace IV and Excel 2016 to analyse literature information, including journals, countries/regions, institutes, authors, citation reports and research frontiers.ResultsUntil March 31, 2018, a total of 24,331 papers in HCC research were identified as published between 2008 and 2017. Oncotarget published the most papers. China contributed the most publications and the United States occupied leading positions in H-index value and the number of ESI top papers. Llovet JM owned the highest co-citations. The keyword “transarterial chemoembolization” ranked first in the research front-line.ConclusionsThe amount of papers published in HCC research has kept increasing since 2008. China showed vast progress in HCC research, but the United States was still the dominant country. Transarterial chemoembolization, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and cancer stem cell were the latest research frontiers and should be paid more attention.

“…The bibliometric analyses are primarily directed toward the metrological features of data concerning a specific subject [10], which is often applied in assessing the developments within the field in an extended period. Over the past decades, there have been many bibliometric publications in top medical journals [11][12][13][14][15][16]. The publishing industry has also broadened its scope beyond researched-based publications to include bibliometric analysis [17].…”

Insufficient penile erection to facilitate vaginal penetration is a medical condition referred to as erectile dysfunction (ED). By the year 2025, the number of ED cases across the world is expected to reach 322 million. There are numerous publications and studies in the field of ED over the past decades. Our aim is to comprehensively analyze the global scientific outputs of ED research and show the trends and hotspots in ED research. Data of publications were downloaded from the Web of Science Core Collection. We used CiteSpace IV and Excel 2016 to analyze literature information, including journals, countries/regions, institutes, authors, citation reports, and research frontiers. Until October 26, 2018, a total of 8880 papers in ED research were identified as published between 2008 and 2018. Journal of Sexual Medicine published the most articles. The United States contributed the most publications and occupied leading positions in H-index value and the number of ESI top papers. Maggi M owned the highest co-citations. The keyword "Oxidative stress" ranked first in the research front-line. The amount of articles published in ED research has been stable from 2008 to 2018. The United States showed enormous progress in ED research, and is still the dominant country. Oxidative stress, vardenafil, and late-onset hypogonadism were the latest research frontiers and should be paid more attention.

“…Bibliometric analyses contribute an objective vision of the scientific activity of a country or a region, in an investigative area. In the particular case of infectious diseases, there are different reports about its utility 5– 8 , especially in emerging infectious diseases 18– 20 , being possible to establish and to compare the amount of scientific production in journals, institutions, and authors publishing about a certain issue; this would allow establishment of a plan in terms of scientific policy as well in other matters 21 . No previous bibliometric studies about babesiosis or Babesia have been found in the consulted scientific databases.…”

“…Research is fundamental to better understanding this disease. The relevance of bibliometric evaluations on emerging and reemerging disease has been previously described 5– 7 as they can contribute in the understanding on how the global scientific and health communities respond to outbreaks 8 . Herein, our objective was to use bibliometric approaches to analyze Babesia research.…”

Research on Babesia: A bibliometric assessment of a neglected tick-borne parasite

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Given the emergence and reemergence of tick-borne diseases, here we assessed the publishing patterns of research focused on Babesia. We also discuss the implications for the articles published in the last decade, and how more clinical and epidemiological information concerning Babesia is still required. The findings of this article would be useful to define research priorities about Babesia and diagnose the important of scientific production on this pathogen.
