Sweileh WM. Analysis and mapping of global research publications on shift work (2012-2021). J Occup Med Toxicol 2022; 17:22. [PMID: 36514070 PMCID: PMC9747264 DOI: 10.1186/s12995-022-00364-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2022] [Accepted: 12/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The main objective of the study was to identify research trends, collaboration patterns, and the most impactful publications in the field of shift work. METHODS Documents published in scientific journals indexed in the Scopus database on shift work were retrieved and analyzed using the title/abstract search methodology. The study period was from January 1st, 2012, to December 31st, 2021. RESULTS Two thousand three hundred twenty-eight documents were retrieved with an h-index of 71 and an average number of 4.5 authors per document. The cumulative number of publications showed a linear growth pattern, while that of citations showed an exponential pattern. The most frequent author keywords, excluding keywords related to shift work, were sleep, fatigue, and nursing. The average annual growth rate was 4.3, and the average doubling time was 3.2. No significant correlation was found between the number of publications and national income among prolific countries. Cross-country research collaboration was weak while the degree of author-author collaboration was relatively high. The Chronobiology International journal was the most prolific, while Harvard University was the most active institution in the field of shift work. CONCLUSIONS Given the volume and the negative health impact of shift work, better human resource management is needed to create safer and healthier working schedules.

Predicting article citations using data from 100 top-cited publications in the field of Psoriasis Vulgaris and biological agents (PVBA) since 1991: A bibliometric analysis. Medicine (Baltimore) 2022; 101:e29396. [PMID: 35905256 PMCID: PMC9333523 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000029396] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis Vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by keratinocyte hyperproliferation. Bibliometric analysis helps determine the most influential article on the topic of "Psoriasis Vulgaris and biological agents (PVBAs)", and what factors affect article citation remain unclear. This study aims (1) to identify the top 100 most cited articles in PVBA (PVBA100 for short) from 1991 to 2020, (2) to visualize dominant entities on one diagram using data in PVBA100, and (3) to investigate whether medical subject headings (MeSH terms) can be used to predict article citations. METHODS The top 100 most cited articles relevant to PVBA (1991-2020) were downloaded by searching the PubMed database. Citation analysis was applied to compare the dominant roles in article types and topic categories using pyramid plots. Social network analysis (SNA) and Sankey diagrams were applied to highlight prominent entities. We examined the MeSH prediction effect on article citations using its correlation coefficients. RESULTS The most frequent article types and topic categories were research support by institutes (46%) and drug therapy (88%), respectively. The most productive countries were the United States (38%), followed by Germany (13%) and Japan (12%). Most articles were published in Br J Dermatol (13%) and J Invest Dermatol (11%). MeSH terms were evident in the prediction power of the number of article citations (correlation coefficient=0.45, t=4.99). CONCLUSIONS The breakthrough was made by developing one dashboard to display PVBA100. MeSH terms can be used for predicting article citations in PVBA100. These visualizations of PVBA100 could be applied to future academic pursuits and applications in other academic disciplines.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to identify and analyze the 100 top-cited articles in the field of osteoarthritis (OA) from 1990 to 2020. METHODS We used the Web of Science to retrieve the articles related to OA. Then we selected 100 target articles and manually collected their general information, including article title, author, year of publication, journal, type of article, and the number of citations. RESULTS The 100 top-cited articles were published in the period from 1990 to 2015. These articles have been cited 66,494 times in total, with the highest being 2382 times, the lowest being 433 times, the median number being 613, and a mean of 664.94 times. The 100 top-cited articles appeared in a total of 35 influential journals. The greatest number of articles in the top of 100 was published in Arthritis and Rheumatism. The authors of these articles came from 18 countries, led by the United States (n = 48), followed by the United Kingdom (n = 15). Among all the institutions, Boston University led the list with 10 articles. The most prevalent type of the study was review (n = 38) and clinical study (n = 38), followed by guideline (n = 12), basic science (n = 10) and other types. CONCLUSIONS This study provided some insights on the literature development and citation of OA in the recent 30 years. Articles published in high-impact journals are more likely to be cited in the field of OA. As recent studies did not have enough time to accumulate the number of citations, the latest articles may not be included in the top 100 cited articles.

Liao Z, Wei W, Yang M, Kuang X, Shi J. Academic Publication of Neurodegenerative Diseases From a Bibliographic Perspective: A Comparative Scientometric Analysis. Front Aging Neurosci 2021; 13:722944. [PMID: 34803653 PMCID: PMC8601281 DOI: 10.3389/fnagi.2021.722944] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2021] [Accepted: 09/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: For measuring the impact in clinical and scientific research, the citation count of the articles is used in the bibliometric analysis, although there is no comprehensive summary of neurodegenerative disease research. This study intends to provide the neuroscientists and investigators with a practical reference guide to appraise the most important and influential articles written on this subject through a macroscopic view of the research activities on neurodegenerative diseases. Materials and Methods: The Clarivate Analytics Web of Science was searched in July 2020. To ensure the breadth of the search scope, the search terms were confirmed as “multiple sclerosis” (MS) or “amyotrophic lateral sclerosis” (ALS) or “Parkinson's” or “Alzheimer's” or “Huntington's” or “neurodegenerative.” After excluding completely unrelated articles, the top-cited articles were collected and evaluated from special characteristics. The data analysis was performed using SPSS 18.0. The articles were characterized by citation number, publication year, topic, study type, authorship, journal, country, and institute of responding author and foundation. Results: The query identified 593,050 articles. A total of 45% of the top-cited articles were published during 2000–2009, followed by 30 articles from 1990–1999. Diagnosis and pathology were the main research categories (n = 62). Alzheimer's disease (AD) was the main study topic (n = 43). Meanwhile, the United States confirmed the tremendous impact on the field of neurodegenerative diseases. Notably, 69 of 100 articles were studied in the United States, and the National Institutes of Health sponsored 49 articles. There were only 22 articles that can be divided by evidence level. No article was categorized as level 1 evidence. In the journal list with multiple articles, seven of 15 were general journals. The 58 authors, who contributed to more than one article, have been identified by VOSviewer, and the clusters of authors reveal the evolution of research focus in neurodegenerative diseases. Conclusions: This study analyzed the bibliometric characteristics and connections of 100 top-cited articles in the field of neurodegenerative diseases in the Web of Science. Their main outcomes were as follows: First, the pathology and diagnostic researches took a major role in top-cited articles while the therapy articles are relatively less. Second, the United States confirmed the tremendous impact on the field of neurodegenerative diseases. Third, researchers also submitted their researches to general journals, not just focused on specialty journals.

Abstract
Objectives: Systematically summarize the trend of research and the orientation of macular edema in recent decades by analyzing the characteristics of the 100 top-ranked articles.Methods: The 100 most cited papers on macular edema published from January 1, 1950, to August 27, 2020, were reviewed by Web of Science (including the Scientific Citation Index). The each article is analyzed by extracting information such as the publication date, journal, author, country of origin, institution, number of citations, research topics, and research design types. Results: Among the 100 articles, the highest cited number was 1907, and the lowest cited number was 166. These articles were published in 18 journals from 1983 to 2016, as well as in 10 countries. The most published newspapers were Ophthalmology (n = 51). The countries were the USA (n = 66). Out of 100 articles, 12 institutions and 10 authors contributed over 3 articles. The emphasis of these studies was placed on clinical studies. The most prevalent design type was the randomized controlled trial (n = 42). The etiology on macular edema can be divided into diabetic (n = 68), retinal vein occlusion (n = 21), and other (n = 11), of which the most common research topic is the non-surgical treatment of macular edema (n = 65).Conclusion: This study analyzed the research trends and progress of macular edema in the past 70 years, emphasizing the treatment of diabetic macular edema and the contribution of USA in the study of macular edema.

Abstract
Background There is an unmet need to assess research productivity from southeast Asia (SEA) regarding primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors. The country’s economy, landscape of neurology practice, and disease burden are hypothesized to correlate with scientific output. This study aimed to objectively measure the impact of published studies on primary brain tumors in SEA and to assess for correlation with socioeconomic determinants and burden of disease. Methods We systematically searched electronic databases for relevant articles from SEA on primary CNS tumor until July 31, 2020. Bibliometric indices were reported and subjected to correlational analysis with population size, gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, percentage (%) GDP for research and development (R&D), total number of neurologists, disease incidence, deaths, and disability-adjusted life years. Results A total of 549 articles were included, consisting primarily of case reports (n=187, 34.06%) and discussed gliomas (n=195, 35.52%). Singapore published the most number of the articles (n=246, 44.8%). Statistical analysis showed a positive correlation between %GDP for R&D and total publication. Additionally, negative relationships were noted between burden of disease and total neurologist with most bibliometric indices. However, GDP per capita was not correlated with measures for research productivity. Conclusion The low impact of scientific output on primary CNS tumors in SEA does not address the growing epidemiology and burden of this disease. An increase in the GDP growth and financial and manpower investment to R&D may significantly improve research productivity in SEA.
