Bibliometric analysis of the top-100 cited articles on oral potentially malignant disorders to guide research topic and direction.

ABSTRACT:

Background/purpose

Bibliometric analysis highlights the key topics and studies which have shaped the understanding and management of a concerned disease. Here the top-cited articles on oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) were characterized and analyzed.

Materials and methods

A comprehensive search was performed and identified in the Scopus database from 1941 to 10 March 2019 for the 100 most-cited articles on OPMD.

Results

The number of citations of the 100 selected articles varied from 131 to 1422, with a mean of 240.6 citations per article. Molecular markers/targets, chemoprevention, and early detection and diagnosis of oral cancer were the top-3 study topics, and the proportion of the number of the articles on the top-3 topics and that of the number of citations was 47% and 47.7%, respectively. Moreover, 20 (90.9%) of the 22 high-quality articles published in journals with high IF?>?9 were the research of top-3 topics. Besides, the most contributing author, Hong WK (n?=?11), was from the most contributing institution and country of origin, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center (n?=?12), United States (n?=?41). Systematic reviews (n?=?7), randomized controlled trial (n?=?5), cohort studies (n?=?18) were study designs with higher evidence level, but the large majority (n?=?70) were considered lower level.

Conclusion

The results of this first citation analysis of the 100 most-cited articles on OPMD provide a historical perspective and key topics, and suggest a troika for the trends of further research and clinical practice in the field of OPMD.

Project description:IntroductionIn the last 120 years, the field of pediatric urology has seen an exponential growth. In this time, there has not been a comprehensive review of top cited articles within the field.ObjectivesWe aim to identify and categorize the top 100 most cited peer-reviewed articles in pediatric urology using citation analysis.Study designWe searched for articles in the Web of Science™ Core Collection between 1900 and 2020 using terms specific to pediatric urology. We identified relevant pediatric urology articles and selected the top 100 most cited articles. We analysed trends over time for topics and categories and we evaluated the relatedness of these articles using citation analysis software.ResultsThe top 100 most cited articles in pediatric urology were published between 1958 and 2016 in 26 countries, across 181 institutions, and in 46 journals. The median number of citations per article was 268 (IQR 225.75-394.25). Clinical manuscripts were the most common among the top 100 cited articles (n = 64) and the most common topic was genital conditions (e.g., penile, inguinal, or testis but not including hypospadias) (n = 19; 16.5%; total citations = 6591). When using bibliometric software to analyse relatedness among the top 100 articles based on citation of one another, we identified 11 clusters of 3 or more articles which corresponded to topics like those we defined a priori (Summary Figure). We found that a greater proportion of articles describing surgical techniques were published prior to 1987 (n = 6, 38%) as compared to after 1987 (n = 11, 13%), while the proportion of basic science articles has increased.DiscussionThis is the first study to analyse the most cited articles in pediatric urology. There was a lower median citation per article and fewer prospective studies in this list compared to other urologic sub-specialties. Similar to other clinical specialties, the focus has moved from describing and comparing operative techniques to exploring mechanisms of disease. This study is limited by using a single parameter (citation rate) and a single citation database.ConclusionThe list of top 100 most cited articles in pediatric urology is an important resource for clinicians and trainees to understand the body of knowledge and trajectory of this field. It charts the evolution of the field and highlights areas of potential investigation. This objective approach to literature review can facilitate future research and education efforts.
