Trends and Visibility of "Digital Health" as a Keyword in Articles by JMIR Publications in the New Millennium: Bibliographic-Bibliometric Analysis.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Digital health has become an advancing phenomenon in the health care systems of modern societies. Over the past two decades, various digital health options, technologies, and innovations have been introduced; many of them are still being investigated and evaluated by researchers all around the globe. However, the actual trends and visibility of peer-reviewed publications using "digital health" as a keyword to reflect the topic, published by major relevant journals, still remain to be quantified. OBJECTIVE:This study aimed to conduct a bibliographic-bibliometric analysis on articles published in JMIR Publications journals that used "digital health" as a keyword. We evaluated the trends, topics, and citations of these research publications to identify the important share and contribution of JMIR Publications journals in publishing articles on digital health. METHODS:All JMIR Publications journals were searched to find articles in English, published between January 2000 and August 2019, in which the authors focused on, utilized, or discussed digital health in their study and used "digital health" as a keyword. In addition, a bibliographic-bibliometric analysis was conducted using the freely available Profiles Research Networking Software by the Harvard Clinical and Translational Science Center. RESULTS:Out of 1797 articles having "digital health" as a keyword, published mostly between 2016 and 2019, 277 articles (32.3%) were published by JMIR Publications journals, mainly in the Journal of Medical Internet Research. The most frequently used keyword for the topic was "mHealth." The average number of times an article had been cited, including self-citations, was above 2.8. CONCLUSIONS:The reflection of "digital health" as a keyword in JMIR Publications journals has increased noticeably over the past few years. To maintain this momentum, more regular bibliographic and bibliometric analyses will be needed. This would encourage authors to consider publishing their articles in relevant, high-visibility journals and help these journals expand their supportive publication policies and become more inclusive of digital health.

Project description:Highlights 5321 articles are examined to study the literature on remdesivir research for the last six years. We use Scopus database to collect bibliographic material and provide a range of bibliometric indicators including the number of citations, publications, and authors. The analysis shows the highest influential articles and the most productive authors and their collaboration networks. The analysis shows which countries and institutions are leading research and the largest publishers. Co-word analysis was used to make a more comprehensive analysis of the development of the remdesivir research. Abstract In response to global efforts to control and exterminate infectious diseases, this study aims to provide insight into the productivity of remdesivir research and highlight future directions. To achieve this, there is a need to summarize and curate evidence from the literature. As a result, this study carried out comprehensive scientific research to detect trends in published articles related to remdesivir using a bibliometric analysis. Keywords associated with remdesivir were used to access pertinent published articles using the Scopus database. A total of 5321 research documents were retrieved, primarily as novel research articles (n = 2440; 46%). The number of publications increased exponentially from 2020 up to the present. The papers published by the top 12 institutions focusing on remdesivir accounted for 25.69% of the overall number of articles. The USA ranked as the most productive country, with 906 documents (37.1%), equivalent to one-third of the global publications in this field. The most productive institution was Icahn School of Medicine, Mount Sinai, in the USA (103 publications). The New England Journal of Medicine was the most cited, with an h-index of 13. The publication of research on remdesivir has gained momentum in the past year. The importance of remdesivir suggests that it needs continued research to help global health organizations detect areas requiring instant action to implement suitable measures. Furthermore, this study offers evolving hotspots and valuable insights into the scientific advances in this field and provides scaling-up analysis and evidence diffusion on remdesivir.
