Abstract
BACKGROUND
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) poses a significant quandary about public health. It is challenging to study the literature in a particular discipline comprehensively today. One solution is bibliometric analysis, which is often used to track the attributes and evolutionary trajectories of scientific outputs.
AIM
To examine the 35-year scientific evolution of articles focused on HCV.
METHODS
This study examined the 35-year scientific evolution of articles focused on HCV. Our study utilized the Web of Science database. The study encompassed a total of 11930 articles.
RESULTS
Regarding the cumulative count of articles, the leading countries are the United States, Japan, and Italy. Rice CM is the author with the highest recorded H-index and G-index values. The journal with the highest recorded H-index and G-index values is the Journal of Virology. The Journal of Viral Hepatitis contributed 10.94% of the articles, whereas the Journal of Virology published 9.68%. According to the strategic diagram, the keywords most frequently used in 2020-2022 are HCV, epidemiology, and sofosbuvir.
CONCLUSION
This study provides valuable information about 40 years of academic knowledge on HCV.
