Research hotspots and frontiers about role of visual perception in stroke: A bibliometric study

Abstract

Background: Visual perception is a dynamic process of perceiving the environment through sensory input and transforming sensory input into meaningful concepts related to environmental visual knowledge. Many studies focusing on the role of visual perception after stroke have been published in various journals. However, a bibliometric analysis in the domain of visual perception after stroke is still lacking. This study aimed to deliver a visual analysis to analyze the global trends in research on the role of visual perception after stroke in the last years. Methods:The literature was derived from the Web of Science core collection database from to . The collected material was limited to English articles and reviews. CiteSpace and Microsoft Excel were used for bibliographic analysis.Results: A total of articles were included in the analysis. The annual number of publications increased from to in the last decade. Rehabilitation was the main research hotspot (n =). Journal of Physical Therapy Science published the largest number of papers (n = ). The most influential author, institution, and country were Rowe FJ (n = ), League of European Research Universities (n = ), and England (n = ), respectively. The keywords with the longest burst period are field defect, hemineglect, disorder, and quality of life. Conclusion:This study analyzes the papers on the role of visual perception after stroke in the past years and provides a new perspective for research in this field. At present, the number of articles in this field is not large and the cooperation network is not close enough. In the future, it is necessary to strengthen the cooperation among various countries, institutions, and authors. In addition, large samples and randomized controlled trials are needed to identify the potential treatments and pathophysiology for visual perceptual impairment after stroke.

A global bibliometric and visualized analysis of the status and trends of gastroparesis research

“…Figure 2 shows the annual trends in the number of publications and citations, and the annual growth curve of publications was expressed as a mathematical function ( y = 1.0613e 0.0808x ). The calculated R 2 of 0.9009 suggested a strong correlation between the number of annual publications and the year of publication [ 24 ]. The first article in this field was authored by Kassander and published in 1958 under the title “Gastroparesis” in Annals of Internal Medicine [ 27 ].…”

“…In addition, visual graphs of collaboration networks and keyword clusters were constructed using the VOSviewer (Version 1.6.18; Leiden University; Leiden, Netherlands), which was developed by Van Eck and Waltman at Leiden University in the Netherlands. In the cooperation network, the number of publications determines the size of the node, the connection between nodes indicates the cooperation relationship, and the thickness of the connection reflects the strength of the cooperation [ 24 ]. Keyword burst analysis was performed using CiteSpace (Version V; Drexel University; Pennsylvania, United States), to determine the research hotspots and frontier trends from the time dimension [ 25 ].…”

Bibliometric and visualization analysis of stem cell therapy for meniscal regeneration from 2012 to 2022

“…With advances in statistics science, bibliometric analysis has been utilized gradually, analysing current scientific research data and identifying developing trends ( Wu et al, 2022a ; IsmailSaqr, 2022 ). Furthermore, although a visualized network and comprehensive analysis, it is feasible to investigate the publication condition, predict research trends, and thus analyses research hotspots in specific fields ( Zhang et al, 2022 ; Zhao et al, 2022 ). It is widely acknowledged that the combination of several bibliometric and mathematical tools, such as CiteSpace, the R package “bibliometrix” and VOSviewer, has also been widely used to visualize specific research literature analysis fields ( Wu et al, 2022b ; Zhang et al, 2022 ; Zhao et al, 2022 ).…”

Accordingly, in this study, a new bibliometric statistics analysis with a visual network is performed to meet the unmet need and fill this knowledge gap.…”

Research Hotspots and Frontiers of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation in Stroke: A Bibliometric Analysis

“…Based on the pathfinding network algorithm and cocitation analysis theory, CiteSpace [14] and VOSviewer [15] are bibliometric software that can analyze publications of specific disciplines and draw visual atlases to show research hot topics and frontiers. In recent years, bibliometric analyses using CiteSpace and VOS viewer have become a research hotspot for scholars at home and abroad [16][17][18][19][20][21].…”
