“…Visualization tools like VOSviewer, Citespace, Bicomb, and BibExcel enable researchers to create knowledge maps (54). With the help of the co-authorship visualization map made by VOSviewer, a co-authorship analysis of countries was performed (45,55,73,74). The map showed that the US, Japan, and the UK are the most involved in DETC research, with the US far ahead of the others, as it has been the most productive DETC research contributor since 1983.…”

Dendritic epidermal T cells (DETC) are a group of immune cells expressing canonical γδ TCR in the murine epidermis. Similar to γδ T cells in the human epidermis, DETC serve an important barrier cell in the skin and participate in skin immune surveillance, immune regulation, skin homeostasis, tissue protection, and other activities. Since its discovery in 1983, research on DETC has grown rapidly and unevenly. To evaluate DETC research trends and map the DETC knowledge structure, we have applied bibliometric methods and techniques. A total of 384 DETC-related articles obtained from the Scopus database published between 1983 and 2019 were analyzed using indicators of publication and citation metrics, country and international cooperation, author and co-authorship, and keyword co-occurrence cluster. The present research status, the emerging global trends and the future development direction are also visualized and discussed. In summary, this study provides novel and useful data for the DETC research scientific community, and will help researchers explore DETC more intuitively and effectively.

“…However, few publications feature updated quantitative data (i.e, bibliometric or scientometric analysis) focusing on interventions aimed at improving QOL in people living with diabetes. Recently, most of the published bibliometric studies have concentrated on diabetes in general [19][20][21], diabetic complications [22] or comorbidities [23], and the use of specific therapy in diabetes treatment [24]. Looking at these offers a comprehensive picture of the current approaches utilized for improving QOL, the status of international collaboration, and the gap between high-and low-income nations, which is vital in developing a roadmap for a global research agenda that will help optimize diabetes treatment outcomes.…”

Improving the quality of life (QOL) of people living with diabetes is the ultimate goal of diabetes care. This study provides a quantitative overview of global research on interventions aiming to improve QOL among people with diabetes. A total of 700 English peer-reviewed papers published during 1990–2018 were collected and extracted from the Web of Science databases. Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) analysis was undertaken to categorize papers by topic or theme. Results showed an increase in interventions to improve the QOL of patients with diabetes across the time period, with major contributions from high-income countries. Community- and family-based interventions, including those focused on lifestyle and utilizing digital technologies, were common approaches. Interventions that addressed comorbidities in people with diabetes also increased. Our findings emphasize the necessity of translating the evidence from clinical interventions to community interventions. In addition, they underline the importance of developing collaborative research between developed and developing countries.

“…For this reason, it is better to develop partnerships with developed countries, including American and European countries, as international partnerships develop in scienti c and research activities. It should be noted, however, that the limited involvement of Iranian researchers with European and American countries can be due to political and even economic issues, as noted in the study of Tabatabaei-Malazy et al In the eld of herbal medicine, the trend of the publication of articles increased from 1997 to 2014, but since 2014, sanctions against Iran have reduced the production of articles (24).…”

BackgroundConducting research and writing articles in the three specialised fields of environmental health, air pollution, water pollution and solid waste management through collaboration between Iranian and international researchers lead to information exchange, science advancement and environmental problem-solving. This study therefore aimed to determine the status of international collaboration in writing specialised articles on water and air pollution and solid waste management.MethodsThis descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted over twelve years (2008-2019) by reviewing all articles published in the fields of air pollution, water pollution and solid waste management in five specialised environmental health journals. All articles were downloaded after visiting the journal site. The full text of the articles was reviewed and articles that matched the purpose of the study were included in it. Data were collected using a researcher-made checklist. The information included in the checklist was the number of articles published and the status of the authors' participation in terms of number, gender, country and continent in each of the fields of water pollution, air pollution and solid waste management. Statistical analysis of data was performed using a T-test. VOS viewer software was used to visualise the data and chart the extent of the international authors' involvement with Iranian researchers from different continents and countries.ResultsA review of 1,679 articles in 135 editions of five specialised environmental health journals revealed that 883 of the articles were in the fields of water and air pollution and solid waste management and 123 of the articles were written by international researchers. The top continents concerning collaboration in writing articles with Iran were Asia, Africa and Europe, respectively, with 70, 22, and 19 articles. In all three fields, India had the highest scientific participation with Iran. The gender distribution of the authors in these 123 articles with the participation of international authors showed that of the 406 authors, 35.7% were female and 65.3% were male and, for articles with just Iranian authors, 28.6% were female and 72.4% were male. The T-test for comparing the mean number of male and female authors in each article with and without the participation of international researchers showed no significant difference.ConclusionsBased on their findings and comparisons with other research on the amount of scientific contributions by international researchers in other countries, it was found that the extent of international participation in the compilation of articles on water pollution, air pollution and solid waste management was large. However, given the low proportion of European and American collaboration in articles, it seems necessary to adopt ways to attract more researchers from advanced countries in the fields of air pollution, water pollution and solid waste management.
