Mapping the Bibliometrics Landscape of AI in Medicine: Methodological Study

Glycosylation in autoimmune diseases: A bibliometric and visualization study

An increasing amount of research has shown that glycosylation plays a crucial role in autoimmune diseases (ADs), prompting our interest in conducting research on the knowledge framework and hot topics in this field based on bibliometric analysis. Studies on glycosylation in the field of ADs from 2003 to 2023 were collected by searching the Web of Science Core Collection database. Bibliometric analysis was conducted using VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and Bibliometrix software. This study included a total of 530 studies. According to the H, G, and M indices, the United States has made the most contributions worldwide, with China making significant contributions in recent years. Leiden University from the Netherlands ranks among the top institutions in terms of publication and citation rankings, with the institution's author Manfred Wuhrer contributing the most to this field. Frontiers in Immunology is the journal with the highest H-index. Research in this field has focused on antibody glycosylation, particularly the specific glycosylation of IgG and IgA, and its role in various ADs. The application of glycoengineering glycosylated proteins in the synthesis of targeted monoclonal antibodies, drug delivery, and regenerative medical materials may be a new trend in the treatment of ADs. Artificial intelligence is an emerging tool in glycobiology. This study summarizes the objective data on glycosylation in the field of AD publications in recent years, providing a reference for researchers in this field.
