“…It avoids missing central literature while exploring the intellectual structures, research hotspots, active authors, and offers empirical new insight into specificscientific fields to evaluate publication characteristics, support the policymakers to take timely scientific responses, and identify the gap over time frame[66].Determining the prominent journals contributed during the study period in TB's field provides the most top research indicators. Through the analysis, our findings provide vital information for authors to select high-quality journals and other bibliometric research[49,50,67]. Our study further uses the Thematic progression to detect better, monitor, and visualize the evolution of the TB research field and those reported in other previous studies[68][58,69].…”

“…The study used bibliometric analysis techniques commonly used by many scholars over the past year [49,50] to measure scientific progress in various disciplines by using the Web of Science database (updated on 10 May 2021). Ethical approval was not required since data retrieved were publicly available and did not involve human or animal subjects.…”

“…However, no review studies combining bibliometric analysis of the scientific research productivity on top 100 articles on TB have been summarized. We expanded this topic in terms of top-cited articles based on the number of times cited or shows the most productive authorships, countries, journals, and organization enhanced the research production in the world[49,50,65]. The main advantage of carrying out review research following traditional methods is using a limited number of publications to offer the reader insight into the scientific topic.…”

Tuberculosis (TB) disease remains a growing threat in public health globally. This study explored the epidemiology, diagnosis, management, and bibliometric analysis of the top 100 most cited articles on TB. The study adopted a narrative review and bibliometric analysis to explore publications on TB disease. Publications in the Web of Science were retrieved to provide extensive selection process. The present study of top 100 articles which are mostly cited are reported between 1969 to 2018. Reported documents were published in 37 journals, and a total of 1058 authors contributed with 10.5 authors per document, and 12 countries contributed, with most of TB research originating from the US (N=51) articles. We found 1058 occasional authors, and of these, 971 authors (0.003%) presented only three articles, followed by 11 authors (0.010%) and 18 authors (0.017%), respectively. About (n=34) research was published in General & Internal Medicine and Science & Technology. New England Journal of Medicine with 14 was top journal. The lead research institution was the University of Cape Town. The significant correlations were found between the number of citations and documents per year (r=0.9579, p<0.0001), countries (r=0.9570, p<0.0001), article per journal (r=0.8721, p<0.0001), and authors (r=0.4601, p<0.0001), and documents per Institution (r=0.6159, p<0.0001). A new insight into TB scientific production was through social network. The evidence from this study provides a template for understanding the epidemiology of TB and the trends in research. It also exposes the hotspot of research along with research gaps for future studies.

“…Several methodologies exist for measuring research impact, but the most commonly used to identify influential works are still the number of citations and the journal citation rank lists, [8] as shown by a myriad of studies in areas including parasitology, tropical medicine, and infectious diseases, among others. [9][10][11][12][13][14] An analysis of the top-cited articles illustrates how knowledge accumulates over time, so this study aimed to determine which articles on cysticercosis and neurocysticercosis have been most influential in the field.…”

Background: Identifying the most highly cited papers in a given field can help researchers and professionals understand the milestones and research areas that are generating the most impact. This study aimed to identify and describe the 50 most frequently cited manuscripts on cysticercosis and neurocysticercosis. Methods: We identified the 50 most cited papers (articles and reviews) on cysticercosis and neurocysticercosis from the MEDLINE database and indexed in Web of Science-Core Collection, analyzing their bibliographic and content characteristics. Results: The most cited documents comprised 29 (58%) original articles and 21 (42%) reviews, the bulk of which were narrative reviews (n = 17), with a negligible presence of other types of reviews with high-level scientific evidence. Six journals published 42% of the articles. In addition to the USA, Mexico and Peru were prominent countries of origin among leading researchers. The main research topics were the central nervous system and epilepsy on the one hand, and diagnostic and therapeutic approaches on the other. Conclusion: Our findings shed light on the dissemination of knowledge about cysticercosis and neurocysticercosis in recent decades, identifying the most highly cited contributions that have driven research in the field.

The 100 top-cited articles on scrub typhus: a bibliometric analysis

Abstract: Scrub typhus (ST), also known as tsutsugamushi disease [1], is a frequently neglected tropical disease most often transmitted through the bites of chiggers in rural areas [2]. The disease has been reported to be responsible for causing acute febrile illness, which is a serious public
