Research Hotspots in Psoriasis: A Bibliometric Study of the Top 100 Most Cited Articles

Abstract

(1) Introduction: Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated disease that negatively impacts patients’ quality of life and predisposes them to cardiovascular or metabolic diseases. This paper aims to summarize the knowledge structure and future directions in psoriasis research by means of bibliometrics. (2) Material and methods: The Thomson Reuters Web of Science database was interrogated using preestablished keywords. A list of the top 100 most cited articles focusing solely on psoriasis was compiled and analyzed. VOSviewer software was used to assess and visualize collaboration networks, citation, co-citation and co-wording analysis, and bibliographic coupling. (3) Results: The articles were written by 902 authors from 20 countries and were published in 31 journals. The United States was at the forefront of this field. Griffiths, CEM had the most citations, while the most prolific institution was Rockefeller University, New York City. Pathogenesis, especially key-pathogenic factors, immune pathways, and epidemiology were the most discussed topics. Work published in the last decade focused on the use of biologics. Keywords such as “quality of life”, “efficacy”, and “necrosis-factor alpha” have been widely used. (4) Conclusion: Research interest regarding psoriasis is high, leading to the rapid development of this field. Treatment modalities, especially novel-targeted therapies, immune pathways, and an integrative approach to such cases are receiving great interest and represent research hotspots in the future.

Exploring the top-cited literature in telerehabilitation for joint replacement using the descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, and prescriptive analytics model: A thematic and bibliometric analysis

“…Accordingly, we adopt the DDPP analytics model that circumvents the limitations in traditional bibliometric analysis on T100 articles, such as 7 graphs against too many graphs and tables, potentially overwhelming readers (e.g., 27 graphs and 15 tables in a single article) [ 31 ] ; clear graphs with the FLCA algorithm against those cluttered and unclear, with labels that are too small to read (not author-centered orientation) [ 31 ] ; using the FLCA for article classifications against those done manually [ 32 ] ; 712 and T100TJR articles against traditional T100 with a lack of comparison with articles outside of the top-cited list [ 33 ] ; ITV against T100 articles listed [ 34 ] ; and structured results using the DDPP model against the traditional unstructured framework for describing the characteristics of T100 articles.…”

“…[ 32 ] There is a lack of comparison with articles outside of the top-cited list (e.g., discussions are limited to the top 100 articles on psoriasis). [ 33 ] All top-cited articles are simply listed with Tables [ 34 ] for better comprehension (e.g., as seen in this article with a visual impact beam plot). [ 35 ] Results are often presented without a structured framework, such as the descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, and prescriptive analytics (DDPP) model, which could provide a more focused approach to analysis.…”

Bibliometric analysis and description of research trends on T cells in psoriasis over the past two decades (2003–2022)

“…Additionally, we found that bibliometric analyzes of psoriasis articles from different periods concluded that biologic treatments were the focus of research. This can be attributed to the dual critical roles that T cells play in psoriasis, serving as both contributors to the disease's pathogenesis and potential targets for therapeutic intervention [ [12] , [13] , [14] ]. Herein, a bibliometric analysis was conducted to assess research on T cells in psoriasis; we systematically analyzed research content, development trends, and noteworthy achievements regarding T cells in psoriasis over the past 20 years and identified potential directions for future research.…”

Acciones y barreras del conocimiento en Dermatología aplicado a la situación colombiana

“…La integración del conocimiento es el tema de mayor envergadura por abordar, donde la diversidad del conocimiento es creciente. En uno de los buscadores más reconocidos se encontraron más de 56.000 artículos relacionados con psoriasis, en una búsqueda realizada hasta el 2023, lo cual es indicativo de esta inmensidad de información (2) . Incluso, desde la aparición de Internet y la tecnología, la tendencia es al aumento, donde se ha visto que desde el año 2007 hay hasta diez veces el número de publicaciones relacionadas con esta enfermedad (3) .…”

“…La identificación de las temáticas de tendencia y relevancia que están en el momento que se quiere establecer, bajo el concepto de principio de oportunidad, implica las acciones de gestión efectiva. La aprobación de algún nuevo medicamento o de una nueva indicación para su administración obliga a la capacitación de los médicos que se van a ver enfrentados a la patología y a la comprensión del momento de utilización de estas tecnologías (1,2) . Aunque se parte de las bases del conocimiento, aparecen nuevos conceptos fisiopatológicos que exigen la actualización de los médicos que se graduaron varios años atrás.…”
