Mapping research trends of retinal vein occlusion from 2009 to 2018: a bibliometric analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To map publication trends and explore research hotspots of retinal vein occlusion (RVO) study.

Methods

Based on Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC), a bibliometric analysis was carried out. The knowledge map was constructed by VOSviewer v.1.6.10 to visualize the annual publication number, the distribution of countries, international collaborations, author productivity, source journals, cited reference and keywords in this field.

Results

A total of 2,135 peer-reviewed papers were retrieved on RVO from 2009 to 2018. The United States ranks highest among countries with the most publications and the most active institution was Kyoto University. Noma H contributed the most publications in this field. Retina-The Journal of Retinal and Vitreous Disease was the most prolific journal in RVO research. The top cited references mainly presented anti-VEGF medications on the management of RVO. The keywords formed six clusters: (1) Risk factors and pathogenesis of RVO; (2) Metabolismof RVO; (3) Therapeutic use of corticosteroids on RVO; (4) Diagnostic methodsof RVO; (5) Management of macular edema secondary to RVO (6) Anti-VEGFtreatment of RVO.

Conclusions

The six major research hotspots could provide an insight into RVO research and valuable information for researchers to identify potential collaborators and partner institutions.

Project description:BackgroundHealth policy and services is a continuously evolving field of research that can inform prevention and control efforts for a variety of health conditions. The "Healthy China" strategy reflects the demand to formulate health policy that suits China's national needs and goals. Applying bibliometric analysis to grasp the general situation of health policy and services research globally will be conducive to informing China's designated health plans and initiatives.MethodA bibliometric analysis of 58,065 articles on "Health Policy and Services" topics was conducted. The document type was restricted to journal articles that were published in the Web of Science database between the time parameter of January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2018. Data was collected on indicators such as the annual number of publications in the field of health policy and services, the country where the publication is issued, the publication organization, the source journal, the frequency of citations, research hotspots, and academic areas.ResultsThe overall number of articles published in Web of Science on health policy and services research has increased over time. The United States has the largest number of articles in the field. The institution with the highest number of citations in the field is Harvard University and the journal with the most published articles in the field is Health Affairs. Research hotspots in the health policy and services field include topics such as "HIV Infections," "Primary Health Care," "Delivery of Health Care," and "Health Services Accessibility."ConclusionExperts in the field of health policy and services globally are dedicated to researching the most effective ways to improve people's health and living standards. There is a certain gap in the depth of health policy and services research between China and developed countries and regions such as Europe or America. China must learn from foreign experience to conduct meaningful and informative research that can aid in the formulation of multi-dimensional health policies in specific areas such as environmental infectious diseases, where attention is needed in areas beyond the medical and health system.

Project description:BackgroundThe tool kits of bibliometrics and science mapping provide a standard methodology to map the knowledge base of specific fields of science. The aim of the present research is the analysis of the recent international trends of sport nutrition science, as well as the primary identification of the research topics and results of sport nutrition science via enhanced bibliometric methods for the 2000-2018 time period.MethodsAltogether, 3889 publications were included in this study. We identified the most relevant sport nutrition topics by running a community detection algorithm on the proximity network constructed via network text analysis. The key issues and key concepts of sport nutrition topics as well as their relations were evaluated via network analysis. Besides, we carried a chronological analysis of topics out and a scientometric evaluative analysis was also created.ResultsWe identified the four main basic groups from which the 18 most characteristics topics were analyzed. The 18 topics are the following: 'soccer and physiology', 'carbohydrate metabolism', 'muscle physiology: alkalosis and acidosis', 'muscle mass gain and dietary supplementation', 'fluid balance and hydration', 'dietary intake and nutrition knowledge', 'determination of energy need of athletes', 'bone health and female athlete triad', 'hydration strategy', 'body weight management', 'nutritional strategies and human skeletal muscle', 'dietary supplementation of nitrates', 'oxidative stress and dietary supplement use', 'dietary supplement use and doping', 'oxidative stress and inflammation and dietary antioxidants', 'exercise adaptation and nutritional strategies', 'gut microbiota', 'celiac disease'. Regarding the size of the topic, researches on sport nutrition science have put the focus on the following three groups: 'muscle mass gain and dietary supplementation', 'carbohydrate metabolism', 'oxidative stress and dietary supplement use'. The greatest scientific impact can be ascribed to the following topics: 'nutritional strategies and human skeletal muscle', 'dietary supplementation of nitrates', 'body weight management', and 'gut microbiota'.ConclusionsScientific output on sport nutrition has continuously been rising between 2000 and 2018. The ratio of topics related to sport nutrition but predominantly connected to basic research has decreased significantly within all publications. The results of this study confirm the role of science mapping in the identification of specific research topics and primary research directions in the field of sport nutrition science.

Project description:Abstract Background: Although many publications in diabetic retinopathy (DR) have been reported, there is no bibliometric analysis. Purpose: To perform a bibliometric analysis in the field of diabetic retinopathy (DR) research, to characterize the current international status of DR research, to identify the most effective factors involved in this field, and to explore research hotspots in DR research. Methods: Based on the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC), a bibliometric analysis was conducted to investigate the publication trends in research related to DR. Knowledge maps were constructed by VOSviewer v.1.6.10 to visualize the publications, the distribution of countries, international collaborations, author productivity, source journals, cited references and keywords, and research hotspots in this field. Results: In total, 11,839 peer-reviewed papers were retrieved on DR from 2010 to 2019, and the annual research output increased with time. The United States ranks highest among countries with the most publications. The most active institution is the University of Melbourne. Wong, TY contributed the largest number of publications in this field. Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science was the most prolific journal in DR research. The top-cited references mainly investigated the use of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) medications in the management of DR, and the keywords formed 6 clusters:1. pathogenesis of DR;2. epidemiology and risk factors for DR;3. treatments for DR;4. screening of DR;5. histopathology of DR; and6. diagnostic methods for DR. Discussion: With the improvement of living standard, DR has gradually become one of the important causes of blindness, and has become a hot spot of public health research in many countries. The application of deep learning and artificial intelligence in diabetes screening and anti-VEGF medications in the management of DR have been the research hotspots in recent 10 years. Conclusions: Based on data extracted from the WoSCC, this study provides a broad view of the current status and trends in DR research and may provide clinicians and researchers with insight into DR research and valuable information to identify potential collaborators and partner institutions and better predict their dynamic directions.
