    Ning Gao, Meng Li, Weiming Wang, Lei Wang, Zhen Liu, Yufeng Guo.
      Background: In recent years, the incidence of herpes zoster has risen steeply, the exact pathogenesis of the acute pain and the transformation into postherpetic neuralgia are still obscure, and the absence of effective management remains a major therapeutic challenge. The purpose of this study was to perform a qualitative and quantitative bibliometric analysis of the 100 most cited papers on herpes zoster.Materials and methods: Related literature were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. Excel and VOSviewer software were applied to quantitatively analyze, and construct the bibliometric network charts.
    Results: The Top 100 most-cited papers published between 2000 and 2018 showed a fluctuating downward trend. The most studies were published in the year of 2000 (n = 12). The article entitled "A vaccine to prevent herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia in older adults" from Oxman MN, was the most-cited publication. The United States was the most contributing country, followed by the United Kingdom, and Italy. Finland occupied the highest citations per publication (CPP). The University of Colorado topped the list of institutions with the most publications with 18 articles and also had the most citations (average citations: 281.78 per article). Myron J Levin from the University of Colorado School of Medicine is the most published and most cited researcher overall, whereas Duke University's John W Gnann tops the list in terms of average CPP.
    Conclusion: In terms of the quantity of T100 articles, researchers, and organizations, the US is the predominant country. The most T100 papers were published in the special journal Clinical Infectious Diseases. The most academic focus remain the remedies for postherpetic neuralgia and vaccine development for individualized groups.

    Shun-Bai Zhang, Guang-Hai Zhao, Tian-Run Lv, Chao-Yang Gong, Yong-Qiang Shi, Wei Nan, Hai-Hong Zhang.
      Background: Microglia has gradually gained researchers' attention in the past few decades and has shown its promising prospect in treating neuropathic pain. Our study was performed to comprehensively evaluate microglia-related neuropathic pain via a bibliometric approach.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed publications focusing on microglia-related neuropathic pain from 2000 to 2021 in WoSCC. VOS viewer software and CiteSpace software were used for statistical analyses.
    Results: A total of 2,609 articles were finally included. A steady increase in the number of relevant publications was observed in the past two decades. China is the most productive country, while the United States shares the most-cited and highest H-index country. The University of London, Kyushu University, and the University of California are the top 3 institutions with the highest number of publications. Molecular pain and Pain are the most productive and co-cited journals, respectively. Inoue K (Kyushu University) is the most-contributed researcher and Ji RR (Duke University) ranks 1st in both average citations per article and H-index. Keywords analyses revealed that pro-inflammatory cytokines shared the highest burst strength. Sex differences, neuroinflammation, and oxidative stress are the emerging keywords in recent years.
    Conclusion: In the field of microglia-related neuropathic pain, China is the largest producer and the United States is the most influential country. The signaling communication between microglia and neurons has continued to be vital in this field. Sexual dimorphism, neuroinflammation, and stem-cell therapies might be emerging trends that should be closely monitored.

    COVID-19 associated coagulopathy: A bibliometric investigation.
    Nahla A Alshaikh.
      Infection with SARS-CoV-2 initiates an immune-hemostatic response. While both systems are intimately connected and necessary for an efficient immune response to contain the infection, excessive coagulation activation might exceed the valuable benefits by causing thrombotic consequences and excessive inflammation. This biological response is new to clinicians and researchers, and accordingly, tremendous studies have been conducted on coagulopathy and its relationship to COVID-19 disease during this pandemic. Therefore, it takes a research insight from a bibliometric perspective to determine research hotspots and trends of COVID-19 associated coagulopathy (C19-CA). The analysis relies on the Scopus database for bibliographic content and Visualization of Similarities viewer software to map bibliometric data of C19-CA. Our study finds the most eminent authors, journals, institutions, funding organizations, and countries that publish in the C19-CA. Additionally; this research employs bibliometric analysis of co-authorship, co-citations, bibliographic coupling, and co-occurrence of keywords. A total of 2242 studies were retrieved, and the number of annual publications of C19-CA showed remarkable growth. The top-publishing authors on C19-CA are Smadja, D.M., Diehl, J.L., and Gendron, N (France). The total number of articles published in English in these three years was 1241, with the original article accounting for 99.8% and conference papers accounting for 0.2%. Huazhong University of Science and Technology (China) is the top-productive institution, with the US being the top-publishing country. Journal of Thrombosis and Thrombolysis received the highest number of original articles. The research results were mainly published in the fields of Medicine, Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology, Immunology and Microbiology. Yuanyuan Li, who is (China), is the top-collaborating author. China and its authors have the highest number of citations. Keywords' co-occurrence analyses of the authors and all keywords revealed the following themes in C19-CA; abnormal coagulation parameters, pulmonary coagulopathy, venous and arterial thrombotic disorders, distinct features of coagulopathy, inflammation, and thrombosis in COVID-19, and anticoagulants and thrombolytic therapies. By combining bibliometric analysis with VOSviewer software, we identified C19-CA's leaders, collaborating institutions, and research hotspots, as well as give references for future research paths.

    The journey of F1000Research since inception: through bibliometric analysis.
    Dilip Kumar, Abhinav Kumar Shandilya, Sandeep Srivastava.
      Background: Bibliometric analysis is an approach adopted by researchers to understand the various analytics such as year-wise publications, their citations, most impactful authors and their contributions, identification of emerging keywords, multiple themes (niche, motor, basic, and emerging or declining) etc. F1000Research is one of the Q1 category journals that publishes articles in various domains, but a detailed journal analysis is yet to be done. Methods: This study is an effort to extract the F1000Research journey information through bibliometric analysis using VOS-viewer and Biblioshiny (R-studio) interface. The F1000Research journal started its journey in 2012; since then, 5767 articles have been published until the end of 2022. Most of the published articles are from medical science, covering Biochemistry, Genetics & Molecular Biology, Immunology & Pharmacology, Toxicology & Pharmaceutics. To understand the research journey, various analyses such as publication & citation trends, leading authors, institutions, countries, most frequent keywords, bibliographic coupling between authors, countries and documents, emerging research themes, and trending keywords were performed. Results: The United States is the biggest contributor, and COVID-19 is the most commonly occurred keyword. Conclusions: The present study may help future researchers to understand the emerging medical science domain. It will also help the editors and journal to focus more on developing or emerging areas and to understand their importance towards society. Future researchers can contribute their quality research studies, focusing on emerging themes. These authors' research can guide future researchers to develop their research area around the most impacted articles. They can collaborate with them to bring that emerging theme forward.

    Citation classics: the 50 most cited articles in surgery in Asia.
    Vaibhav Aggarwal.
      Objectives: The term 'citation classics' is used for highly cited papers in the scientific literature. It was aimed to understand the current landscape of academic surgery and the quality of the scientific contribution of authors belonging to Asia using citation classics.Material and Methods: We searched the WoS core collection database under the category 'surgery' to include the 50 most cited articles whose lead author was affiliated to an Asian country during the research period. We noted the following characteristics for each article: total citations, average cita- tions per year, year of publication, publishing journal, institution and country, journal quartile and impact factor, authorship, field of surgical research. Results were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics v26.
    Results: The number of citations ranged from 447 to 1170 (mean +/- SD is 616.9 +/- 150.16) and citations per year ranged from 10.04 to 98.17 (mean +/- SD is 30.87 +/- 17.27). Most productive decade was 1991-2000 (n= 19 articles). Majority of the articles were published in 'Annals of Surgery' (28%). Four authors contributed two or more articles as lead author with 'Poon RTP' taking the lead. Japan's contribution was highest (60%) followed by China and its dependents' (26%). University of Hong Kong was the leading institution (n= 7). Observational study was the most commonly used design (n= 24). Most papers belonged to gastrointestinal surgery (n= 28) and surgical oncology (n= 26). 66% articles originated from a single institution, 22% had inter-institutional collaboration and 12% had national collaboration from countries outside Asia.
    Conclusion: The study identified the most influential papers in surgery from Asia. This should provoke interest in academic surgery and research col- laboration with other nations in Asia and the rest of the world.

      Background: Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is one of the top ten disabling diseases seriously affecting the health of population. Recently, studies on this disease significantly increased. However, only a few bibliometric analyses concerning this area have been reported. In this study, we used bibliometrics and visualization tools to examine the current state, hot topics and future trends in OCD research.Methods: Scientific publications regarding OCD were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database. The features of OCD research were further analyzed using VOSviewer.
    Results: A total of 24,552 publications and 65,296 authors in the field of OCD were retrieved from 2000 to 2022, showing an overall upward trend in publications over the past 22 years. One hundred and thirteen countries around the world had participated in the research. Among these countries, the developed countries such as the United States, England, and Canada were the crucial productive nations in this subject. As for institutions, the Harvard University, the University of London, and the University of California system were the leading institutions. Authors including Storch EA, Mataix-Cols D, and Stein DJ were the prolific authors. 1,949 journals are contributing to the OCD field, of which the top three are Biological Psychiatry (831 articles), European Neuropsychopharmacology (776 articles) and Psychiatric Research (648 articles). Research hotspots of OCD included pathogenesis, epidemiology, comorbidities, clinical features, and evaluation methods. COVID-19, mental health, functional connectivity, and genome-wide association were emerging trends in the field of OCD.
    Conclusion: This study integrates the bibliometric information on the current research status and emerging trends in OCD from a macro perspective. The findings can provide valuable insights into further research on OCD.

    Xueying Hou, Enchong Zhang, Yukun Mao, Jie Luan, Su Fu.
      The articles and reviews in the field of dECM from 2001 to 2021 were retrieved and extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection. The R package Bibliometrix, CiteSpace, VOSviewer and the online BIBLIOMETRC platform were utilized for bibliometric analysis, including specific characteristics of annual publications, influential countries/ regions, core journals, leading institutions, keywords, key references, co-cited authors, journals and institutions, cooperation and historical direct citations. Our study concluded core references that fueled the development of dECM and highlighted current research directions, hotpots and trends.From 2001 to 2021, 3,046 publications were retrieved in total, including 2700 articles and 349 reviews. The United States (n=895) produced the majority of publications, and the University of Pittsburgh (n=318) published most productions. Biomaterials were identified as the most productive and influential journal in the dECM field considering the number of publications (n=194), and total citations (n= 15,694). Immunomodulation, bioreactors, aging, 3d bioprinting, bone tissue engineering, bioink, hydrogel, biomaterials, and regeneration were the latest high-frequency keywords, indicating the emerging frontiers of dECM. In the field, decellularization techniques lay the foundation. Orthotopic transplantation of recellularized dECM and induction of specific cell differentiation promoted the bursts of research. 3D bioprinting and hydrogel based on dECM were extensively studied in recent years. The present study provided developmental trajectories, current research status, global collaboration patterns, hotpots, and trending topics of dECM. Decellularization techniques, tissue engineering to regenerate organs, and improvements in application are the major themes over the past two decades.

    Frontiers of ankylosing spondylitis research: an analysis from the top 100 most influential articles in the field.
    Xuhao Li, Wenyan Yu, Zhixia Jia, Jinling Li, Yuanxiang Liu, Jiguo Yang.
      Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease that frequently results in disability. It has a negative impact on patients' quality of life and puts an enormous budgetary and societal burden on society. The most effective treatment for AS has grown to be a significant issue worldwide. In order to pinpoint research focus and trends in this region, we performed a bibliometric analysis of the top 100 cited papers in this study. We searched the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-Expanded) on the Web of Science (WOS) and selected the top 100 cited papers based on AS. The pertinent literature from various years, journals, nations/regions, institutions, authors, keywords, and references were then examined. To construct knowledge maps, we used the VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and Scimago Graphica programs. Excel was then used to compile the information from the pertinent literature that we had retrieved, and we were able to make predictions about the focus and trends that were currently occurring in the field. Between 1999 and 2019, the top 100 cited papers appeared in 23 journals from 36 different nations and regions. Annals of the rheumatic diseases published the majority of the articles, while Lancet had the highest average number of citations per paper. Germany contributed the most publications, followed by the Netherlands and the USA. In terms of the total number of publications, Rheumazentrum Ruhrgebiet contributed the most papers, followed by University Hospital Maastricht and Leiden University. The three major categories are Rheumatology, Medicine, General & Internal, and Genetics & Heredity, whereas the top 5 co-occurrence of keywords included rheumatoid arthritis, double-blind, disease activity, efficacy, and infliximab. The cluster analysis results indicate that inflammation and immunology, safe and effective therapies, and placebo-controlled trials may be focus and trends for future AS research. Bibliometric analysis can swiftly and visually identify the focus and boundaries of AS research. Our findings imply that inflammation and immunology, safe and effective therapies, and placebo-controlled trials may be focus and trends for future AS research.

      AIM: To analyze the bibliometric characteristics of the global scientific production indexed in Scopus on oral health during pregnancy.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cross-sectional study with bibliometric methodology, using scientific publications indexed in Scopus as a unit of analysis. For the search, MESH terms, Boolean operators ("AND" and "OR"), and search topics (TITLE and ABSTRACT) were used. SciVal was the tool selected for the analysis of bibliometric parameters.
    RESULTS: Most of the articles were published in Q1 (30.2%) and Q2 (29.6%) quartile journals. The country with the most scientific publications was the United States (451 articles), while Spain had only 14 publications. The University of Sydney, with 16 articles, was the most productive institution and the one with the most citations per publication was Saveetha University (19.7). The author with the most articles and citations related to the topic was George Ajesh with 13 and 136, respectively. Johnson Marre had the highest impact (15.1) and expected citations with respect to the global average (FWCI: 2.49).
    CONCLUSIONS: The scientific production on oral health in pregnancy has increased, with a greater preference by authors for scientific journals in the Q1 and Q2 quartile. The United States is the country with the most publications, although Australia has a greater number of institutions among the most productive.
    CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The clinical relevance could be addressed later in relation to oral health during pregnancy, however, analyzing the bibliometric characteristics of the global scientific production is essential to understand the dynamics of scientific publications on this topic.

      Background: Acupuncture and moxibustion has been applied worldwide in the treatment of various pain diseases including lumbar disc herniation (LDH) and other pain, However, there has been no bibliometric analysis on this aspect in the past five years. Therefore, this study was carried out for finding research trends and fronts in this field using Citespace and VOSviewer.Methods: Publications about acupuncture therapy for LDH were extracted from the Web of Science database and PubMed with an unlimited time frame. A bibliometric analysis and visualization of results was conducted using CiteSpace 6.1.R3 and VOSviewer 1.6.18 on the information of the annual publication, countries, journals, institutions, authors, references, and keywords.
    Results: A total of 127 publications were included, and the number of publications had increased noticeably over the past 30 years and reached a peak in the past 3 years. The most productive country with the most publications was China, whose Medical University was the institution with the highest volume of publications. The most productive author was Chen Rixin, while the most-cited author was Kreiner DS. Chinese Acupuncture and Moxibustion was the journal with the most publications, and Spine Journal was the most frequently cited journal. In cited references, an article published in The New England Journal of Medicine by Deyo RA had the most citations and the highest centrality. Of the keywords, the five most frequently used keywords include lumbar disc herniation, acupuncture, low back pain, intervertebral disc displacement, and management.
    Conclusion: Acupuncture and moxibustion can help to relieve symptoms in patients. However, this field is in the early stages of development and requires more high-quality research studies and international collaborations. In addition, exploring the effectiveness and mechanism of acupuncture for LDH is the hot trend in the future.

    Knowledge mapping analysis of safety ergonomics: A bibliometric study.
    Wenjing Ji, Hui Liu, Kai Pan, Rui Huang, Chang Xu, Ze Wei, Jianhai Wang.
      Although a significant attention, the field of safety ergonomics has not yet been systematically profiled based on recent studies. To fully understand the current research status, basis, hotspots, and development trends in the field, 533 documents from the Web of Science core database were used for knowledge mapping analysis by the bibliometric method. The study found that the USA is the top country in publications, and Tehran University is the institution with the highest number of publications. Ergonomics and Applied Economics are the authoritative safety ergonomics journals. Through co-occurrence and co-citation analysis, current safety ergonomics research is focused on healthcare, product design, and occupational health and safety. The keyword timeline view indicates that the main research paths are occupational health and safety, and patient safety research. The analysis of burst keywords shows that safety ergonomics research in management, model design, and system design areas are research frontiers in the field.

    An analysis of reporting practices in the top 100 cited health and medicine-related bibliometric studies from 2019 to 2021 based on a proposed guidelines.
    Malcolm Koo, Shih-Chun Lin.
      Bibliometric analysis has gained popularity as a quantitative research methodology to evaluate scholarly productivity and identify trends within specific research areas. However, there are currently no established reporting guidelines for bibliometric studies. The present study aimed to investigate the reporting practices of bibliometric research related to health and medicine based on a guidelines "Preferred Reporting Items for Bibliometric Analysis (PRIBA)" proposed in this study. The Science Citation Index, Expanded of the Web of Science was used to identify the top 100 articles with the highest normalized citation counts per year. The search was conducted on April 9, 2022, using the search topic "bibliometric" and including publications from 2019 to 2021. The results substantiated the need for a standardized reporting guideline for bibliometric research. Specifically, among the 25 proposed items in the PRIBA, only five were consistently reported across all articles examined. Further, 11 items were reported by at least 80% of the articles, while nine items were reported by less than 80% of the articles. In conclusion, our findings suggest that the reporting practices of bibliometric studies in the field of health and medicine are in need of improvement. Future research should be conducted to refine the PRIBA guidelines.

    Quantitative Review of Anesthesia in Liver Tumor Ablation: A Bibliometric Study from 1999 to 2022.
    Ying-Dong Qu, Zhen Chen, Xiang Li.
      BACKGROUND Ablation has been developed as a radical surgical procedure for liver tumors. Local anesthesia in combination with general anesthesia or intravenous sedation is needed in ablative procedures. Although many studies have been published, a related bibliometric study is lacking. The present bibliometric analysis aimed to further understand the current situation of anesthesia for liver tumor ablation and discover candidate novel research directions. MATERIAL AND METHODS Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) was searched to identify studies associated with anesthesia for liver tumor ablation. Also, countries, journals, authors, and institutes contribution together with co-occurrence relations were analyzed by R, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace software; meanwhile, relevant research hotspots together with potential future trends were identified. RESULTS This work obtained 183 English-language documents during 1999-2022, and the annual growth rate was 8.83%. Most studies were conducted in the United States (24.04%, 44/183). The Oslo Univ Hosp contributed the most publications (n=11, 6.01%). Livraghi T (n=6), De Baere T (n=5), and Goldberg SN (n=4) ranked top in terms of cited authors and top authors. Keywords from that co-cited network were aggregated and identified, which revealed a shift in the liver tumor ablation anesthesia field. Initially, hotspots were predominantly "alcohol injection", "radiofrequency tissue ablation", and "metastases", but hotspots shifted to "efficacy", "ablation", "pain", "microwave ablation", "management", "analgesia", "safety", "irreversible electroporation", and "anesthesia" recently. CONCLUSIONS Anesthesia has received increased attention as liver tumor ablation advances. Bibliometric study findings provide insight into the current state and trends of anesthesia in liver tumor ablation research.

    Qianrong Liang, Jiarong Ye, Yingyin Lu, Junjie Dong, Heyong Shen, Hongzhong Qiu.
      Purpose: Research on painting therapy is available worldwide and painting therapy is widely applied as a psychological therapy in different fields with diverse clients. As an evidence-based psychotherapy, previous studies have revealed that painting therapy has favorable therapeutic effects. However, limited studies on painting therapy used universal data to assemble in-depth evidence to propose a better recommendation on it for the future use. Large-scale retrospective studies that used bibliometric methodology are lacking. Therefore, this study presented a broad view of painting therapy and provided an intensively analytical insight into the structure of knowledge regarding painting therapy employing bibliometric analysis of articles. CiteSpace software was used to evaluate scientific research on painting therapy globally published from January 2011 to July 2022.Methods: Publications related to painting therapy from 2011 to 2022 were searched using the Web of Science database. This study employed bibliometric techniques to perform co-citation analysis of authors, visualize collaborations between countries/regions as network maps, and analyze keywords and subjects relevant to painting therapy by using CiteSpace software.
    Results: In total, 871 articles met the inclusion criteria. We found that the number of painting therapy publications generally trended incrementally. The United States and United Kingdom made the most contributions to painting therapy research and had the greatest impact on the practical application in other countries. Arts in Psychotherapy and Frontiers in Psychology occupied key publishing positions in this research field. The application groups were mainly children, adolescents, and females, and Western countries paid high attention to painting therapy. The main areas of application of painting therapy were Alzheimer's disease and other psychosomatic disease fields. Identified research priorities for painting therapy were emotion regulation and mood disorder treatment, personality disorder treatment, personal self-esteem enhancement, and medical humanistic care. Three keywords, "depression," "women," and "recovery," had the strongest citation bursts, which emphasized the research trends.
    Conclusion: The general trend for painting therapy research is positive. Our findings provide useful information for researchers on painting therapy to determine new directions in relate to popular issues, collaborators, and research frontiers. Painting therapy holds a promising future, and further studies could explore the clinical implications of this therapy in terms of mechanisms and criteria for assessing efficacy.

    Esra Sabancı Baransel, Tuba Uçar, Osman Tayyar Çelik.
      BACKGROUND: Breastfeeding has been the subject of scientific studies for many years. Identifying the current trends and hotspots in breastfeeding research can further advance understanding in the field.RESEARCH AIM: This study aimed to review the basic and conceptual structure of the literature on breastfeeding from a macro perspective.
    METHODS: The dataset for this study included 8,509 articles published between 1980 and 2022 accessed through the Web of Science database. Bibliometric methods were used to assess the growth direction of the literature on breastfeeding, the publication performance by country, influential journals and articles, co-citation networks, and keywords.
    RESULTS: Research on breastfeeding developed slowly until the 2000s, at which point the speed of growth increased. The United States was the country in which most of the breastfeeding research was produced as well as being at the center of international collaborative networks. An examination of author productivity established that there was no specialization in breastfeeding. The results of citation and keyword analyses demonstrated that the literature on breastfeeding is sensitive to current developments, and the psychological aspects of breastfeeding have been intensively discussed, especially in recent years. Moreover, our results demonstrate that breastfeeding support programs are a distinct area if interest. Despite the abundance of research available, more studies are needed for specialization in this field.
    CONCLUSION: This broad overview of the field of breastfeeding research can inform the direction and advancement of the literature.

    Exploring Three Decades of Progress: A Comprehensive Visual Review of Intravoxel Incoherent Motion MRI Research (1988-2021).
    Youwei Li, Yuanfang Zhang, Honglin Shang, Qiang Gao, Qiping Wen, Na Chen, Mingchun Zhai, Jingxin Liu, Zhichao Zhou, Guanying Yang, Wei Wang, Zhongming Zhang, Jianing Xi.
      BACKGROUND Despite an increasing number of published articles on intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) in the past decade, almost all have focused on the technique and clinical applications of IVIM, with little attention to the collective knowledge and scientific analysis of this field. The aim of the present study was to construct a knowledge framework and to explore hotspots and emerging trends concerning use of IVIM in humans. MATERIAL AND METHODS The articles concerning IVIM MRI published from 1988 to 2021 were retrieved from the Science Citation Index Expended of the Web of Science Core Collection on 17, August 2021. The downloaded data were imported into Excel 2016 and CiteSpace V for scientometric analysis. RESULTS A total of 921 articles were included in this study and most of them were published since 2012. China (n=392) was the most productive country and the Philips Healthcare (n=46) was the most productive institution. Christian Federau had the largest number of publications (n=18). An article by Andreou A et al (2013) was the most important reference with the most co-citations (n=100) and centrality (0.06). The 5 hotspots in IVIM were perfusion, diffusion-weighted imaging, intravoxel incoherent motion, apparent diffusion coefficient, and magnetic resonance imaging. The 2 frontier topics were "brain perfusion" and "accuracy". According to the clustering of co-citation analysis, "liver", "diffusion weighting", "pancreas", and "brain" were the main research directions. CONCLUSIONS Scientometric analysis of IVIM literature with CiteSpace software can provide researchers with valuable information about knowledge framework, hotspots, and emerging trends concerning IVIM in humans.

    A construction and empirical research of the journal disruption index based on open citation data.
    Yuyan Jiang, Xueli Liu.
      For many years, the journal evaluation system has been centered on impact indicators, resulting in evaluation results that do not reflect the academic innovation of journals. To solve this issue, this study attempts to construct the Journal Disruption Index (JDI) from the perspective of measuring the disruption of each journal article. In the actual study, we measured the disruption of articles of 22 selected virology journals based on the OpenCitations Index of Crossref open DOI-to-DOI citations (COCI) first. Then we calculated the JDI of 22 virology journals based on the absolute disruption index (DZ) of the articles. Finally, we conducted an empirical study on the differences and correlations between the impact indicators and disruption indicators as well as the evaluation effect of the disruption index. The results of the study show: (1) There are large differences in the ranking of journals based on disruption indicators and impact indicators. Among the 22 journals, 12 are ranked higher by JDI than Cumulative Impact Factor for 5 years (CIF5), the Journal Index for PR6 (JIPR6) and average Percentile in Subject Area (aPSA). The ranking difference of 17 journals between the two kinds of indicators is greater than or equal to 5. (2) There is a medium correlation between disruption indicators and impact indicators at the level of journals and papers. JDI is moderately correlated with CIF5, JIPR6 and aPSA, with correlation coefficients of 0.486, 0.471 and - 0.448, respectively. DZ was also moderately correlated with Cumulative Citation (CC), Percentile Ranking with 6 Classifications (PR6) and Percentile in Subject Area (PSA) with correlation coefficients of 0.593, 0.575 and - 0.593, respectively. (3) Compared with traditional impact indicators, the results of journal disruption evaluation are more consistent with the evaluation results of experts' peer review. JDI reflects the innovation level of journals to a certain extent, which is helpful to promote the evaluation of innovation in sci-tech journals.

    Research progress and perspectives on carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies in China and the USA: a bibliometric analysis.
    Qiang Ren, Shansen Wei, Jianhui Du, Peng Wu.
      Carbon dioxide capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology is an emerging technology with large-scale emission reduction potential and an essential component of the global response to climate change to achieve net-zero goals. As the two most important countries in global climate governance, it is necessary to review and examine the current status and trends of research in the field of CCUS in China and the USA. This paper uses bibliometric tools to review and analyze peer-reviewed articles in the Web of Science from both countries during 2000-2022. The results show a significant increase in research interest among scholars from both countries. The number of publications in the CCUS field in China and the USA was 1196 and 1302, respectively, showing an increasing trend. China and the USA have become the most influential countries in CCUS. And the USA has a more significant academic influence on a global scale. Furthermore, the research hotspots in the field of CCUS are diverse and differentiated. That is, China and the USA pay attention to different research hotspots or have different focuses in different periods. This paper also finds that new capture materials and technology development, geological storage monitoring and early warning, CO2 utilization and new energy development, sustainable business models, incentive policies and measures, and public awareness are critical directions for future research in the field of CCUS, to provide a comprehensive review and comparison of CCUS technology development in China and the USA. It helps to gain insight into the research differences and linkages between the two countries in the field of CCUS and identify the research gaps between them. And place some consensus that policymakers can use.

    Approach to theoretical perspectives of "sexual harassment": review and bibliometric analysis from social sciences.
    Cristina Cuenca-Piqueras, Juan Sebastián Fernández-Prados, María José González-Moreno.
      The main goal of this paper is to give an overlook of the current state of sexual harassment. In order to do so, we started making a synthesis of the main theoretical approaches to explain sexual harassment, trying to group the studies into different currents that have historically analyzed this type of violence, to see whether the bibliometric analysis shows a similar presence of the different approaches. To carry out the bibliographic analysis we extracted the documents from the Scopus databases (using the keyword "sexual harassment" up to the year 2021 in the field of social sciences), where after these texts were examined with the tool VOSviewer. A description was made of the evolution of the number of articles on sexual harassment and within the areas of research and, also, the coincidences of keywords and co-authorships, highlighting the nationality and the main authors in number of citations. The results show a growth in interest in researching sexual harassment, specifically after the allegations against producer Harvey Weinstein and the #metoo movement. In the keyword analysis, there is a trend towards studies focused on the work environment and with a gender perspective. Finally, in the cluster analysis of the authorship of the texts, the results suggest the different theoretical approaches most used in the analysis of sexual harassment: socio-cultural, organizational, and multi-dimensional.

    Open Access Publication in Total Knee Arthroplasty is Associated with Increased Social Media Attention, but is not Associated with Increased Citations.
    Robert Cueto, Andrew B Harris, Kevin Root, Samir Sabharwal, Micheal Raad, Julius K Oni.
      BACKGROUND: Open access (OA) publication is growing in total joint arthroplasty literature. While OA manuscripts are free to view, these publications require a fee from authors. This study aimed to compare social media attention and citation rates between OA and non-OA publications in the total knee arthroplasty (TKA) literature.METHODS: There were 9,606 publications included, with 4,669 (48.61%) as OA articles. The TKA articles were identified from 2016 to 2022 using a national database. Articles were grouped as OA or non-OA and Altmetric Attention Score (AAS), a weighted count of social media attention, and the Mendeley readership were analyzed using negative binomial regressions while adjusting for days since publication. Independent t-tests were utilized to compare means scores between OA vs. non-OA groups.
    RESULTS: The OA articles had greater mean AAS (13.45 vs. 8.42, P = 0.012) and Mendeley readership (43.91 vs. 36.72, P < 0.001). OA was not an independent predictor of number of citations when compared to non- OA articles (13.98 vs. 13.63, P = 0.914). Subgroup analysis of studies in top-10 arthroplasty journals showed OA was not an independent predictor of AAS (13.51 vs. 9.53, P = 0.084) or number of citations (19.51 vs. 18.74, P = 0.495), but was an independent predictor of Mendeley readership (49.05 vs. 40.25, P < 0.003).
    CONCLUSION: The OA publications in the TKA literature were associated with increased social media attention, but not overall citations. This association was not observed among the top 10 journals. Authors may utilize these results to weigh the relative importance of readership, citations, and online engagement to the cost of OA publication.

    Assessing academic productivity of U.S. otolaryngology departments using the h(5) index.
    Deesha Desai, Philip J Grosse, Carl H Snyderman.
      Objectives: We aim to examine the h(5) index of U.S. otolaryngology programs to help assess current academic productivity.Methods: A total of 116 otolaryngology departments with residency programs were included. Our primary outcome was the h(5) index, calculated cumulatively for faculty MDs, DOs, and PhDs within the department. Audiologists and clinical adjunct faculty were excluded. This was calculated over a 5-year period (2015-2019) using Elsevier's database SCOPUS. Faculty affiliation within SCOPUS was confirmed by cross-referencing department websites. The h(5) indices were calculated and then correlated with other publication metrics, including total publications by department and publications in major otolaryngology journals.
    Results: The h(5) index was highly correlated positively with other metrics of academic productivity, including total publications and publications in top 10 otolaryngology journals. Greater variability in data was noted as the h(5) index increased. Similar trends were observed when the h(5) was compared to the number of residents accepted per year. Rankings of departments by Doximity and US News and World Report were positively correlated with h(5) though they remained weaker when compared to other correlations.
    Conclusions: h(5) indices are a valuable tool to objectively assess academic productivity for otolaryngology residency departments. They are a better indicator of academic productivity than national rankings.

    Inference with non-probability samples and survey data integration: a science mapping study.
    Camilla Salvatore.
      In recent years, survey data integration and inference based on non-probability samples have gained considerable attention. Because large probability-based samples can be cost-prohibitive in many instances, combining a probabilistic survey with auxiliary data is appealing to enhance inferences while reducing the survey costs. Also, as new data sources emerge, such as big data, inference and statistical data integration will face new challenges. This study aims to describe and understand the evolution of this research field over the years with an original approach based on text mining and bibliometric analysis. In order to retrieve the publications of interest (books, journal articles, proceedings, etc.), the Scopus database is considered. A collection of 1023 documents is analyzed. Through the use of such methodologies, it is possible to characterize the literature and identify contemporary research trends as well as potential directions for future investigation. We propose a research agenda along with a discussion of the research gaps which need to be addressed.

    Network Analysis and Natural Language Processing to Obtain a Landscape of the Scientific Literature on Materials Applications.
    Ana Caroline M Brito, Maria Cristina F Oliveira, Osvaldo N Oliveira, Filipi N Silva, Diego R Amancio.
      Recent progress in natural language processing (NLP) enables mining the literature in various tasks akin to knowledge discovery. Obtaining an updated birds-eye view of key research topics and their evolution in a vast, dynamic field such as materials science is challenging even for experienced researchers. In this Perspective paper, we present a landscape of the area of applied materials in selected representative journals based on a combination of methods from network science and simple NLP strategies. We found a predominance of energy-related materials, e.g., for batteries and catalysis, organic electronics, which include flexible sensors and flexible electronics, and nanomedicine with various topics of materials used in diagnosis and therapy. As for the impact calculated through standard metrics of impact factor, energy-related materials and organic electronics are again top of the list across different journals, while work in nanomedicine has been found to have a lower impact in the journals analyzed. The adequacy of the approach to identify key research topics in materials applications was verified indirectly by comparing the topics identified in journals with diverse scopes, including journals that are not specific to materials. The approach can be employed to obtain a fast overview of a given field from the papers published in related scientific journals, which can be adapted or extended to any research area.

    Chen Luo, Songyu Jiang.
      It is urgent to solve the gender issues in global cross-cultural communication. Countries worldwide should responsible for achieving gender equality (SDG5). Hence, the study aims to portray the knowledge map of the gender issue in intercultural communication to explore the research status and future potential. The study used CiteSpace to conduct a bibliometric method within 2728 English articles on cross-cultural communication and gender equality topics from the Web of Science (WoS). After cluster analysis and time series analysis, this study emphasis the continued attention and increasing trend of publications and elaborates on the critical authors, institutions, and countries of research on this issue. The results introduced Putnick as the dominant author contributed to the topic. The University of Oxford ranked the top1 in the institution cooperation relationship. Europe countries and the United States have made major contributions and influenced Asian and African countries, such as Burkina Faso, North Macedonia, and Kosovo. Gender issues in Asia and Africa are getting much attention. The keyword clusters formed by the authors' cooperation include gender equality, life satisfaction, network analysis, and alcohol use. In addition, childbirth technology, patient safety competition, life satisfaction, capital safety, and sex difference are the key word clustering results of institutional cooperation. At the level of national cooperation, internet addition, risk sexual behavior, covid-19 pandemic and suicidal idea have become the main keywords The results of keyword cluster analysis show that gender role attribute, psychological properties, dating policy, professional fulfillment, and entrepreneurial intention have become the main topics in the current research. The research frontier analysis reflects the importance of gender, women and health. The research on self-efficacy, diversity, image, life satisfaction and choice has become the trend of cross-cultural communication and gender issues. Furthermore, abundant achievement emerged in the subjects of Psychology, Education, Sociology, and Business economics. Geography, Language and Literature, Medicine, and Health industries also have been highly influential in recent years. Therefore, the conclusion suggests the studies of gender issues can be further deepened into more authors, areas, subject and other multiple cooperation sectors.

    Stefan W Koester, Anthony E Bishay, Alexander T Lyons, Victor M Lu, Anant Naik, Christopher S Graffeo, Allan D Levi, Ricardo J Komotar.
      INTRODUCTION: Because of the effect of COVID on academic opportunities, as well as limitations on travel, away rotations and in-person interviews, COVID-related changes could impact the neurosurgical resident demographics. Our aim was to retrospectively review the demographics of the previous four years of neurosurgery residents, provide bibliometric analysis of successful applicants, and analyze for the effects of COVID on the match cycle.METHODS: All AANS residency program websites were examined for a list of demographic characteristics for current post-graduate year (PGY) 1 to 4. Gathered information included gender, undergraduate and medical institution and state, medical degree status, and prior graduate programs.
    RESULTS: A total of 114 institutions and 946 residents were included in the final review. 676 (71.5%) of the residents included in the analysis were male. Of the 783 who studied within the United States, 221 (28.2%) residents stayed within the same state of his or her medical school. 104 of 555 (18.7%) residents stayed within the same state of his or her undergraduate school. Demographic information as well as geographic switching relative to medical school, undergraduate school, and hometown showed no significant changes between pre-COVID and COVID-matched cohorts overall. The median number of publications per resident significantly increased for the COVID-matched cohort (median, 1; interquartile range (IQR), 0-4.75) when compared to the non-COVID-matched cohort (median, 1; IQR, 0-3, p = 0.004) as did first author publications (median, 1; IQR, 0-1 vs median, 1; IQR, 0-1; p = 0.015), respectively. The number of residents matching into the same region in the Northeast relative to undergraduate degree was significantly greater after COVID (56 (58%) vs 36 (42%), p = 0.026). The West demonstrated a significant increase in the mean number of total publications (4.0 ± 8.5 vs 2.3 ± 4.2, p = 0.02) and first author publications (1.24 ± 2.33 vs 0.68 ± 1.47, p = 0.02) after COVID, with the increase in first author publications being significant in a test of medians.
    CONCLUSION: Herein we characterized the most recently matched neurosurgery applicants, paying particular attention to changes over time in relation to the onset of the pandemic. Apart from publication volume, characteristics of residents and geographical preferences did not change with the influence of COVID-induced changes in the application process.

      BACKGROUND: Increasing publication numbers in the biomedical field led to an improvement of patient care in many aspects but are challenging for scientists when integratively processing data of their fields. Using bibliometric analyses, the present study assesses the productivity and predominant topics in retroperitoneal soft-tissue sarcoma (RPS) research across the past 122 years, thereby identifying crucial questions to address in future RPS research.METHODS: Using the Web of Science Core Collection, 1018 RPS-associated publications from 1900 to 2022 were identified and analyzed regarding key bibliometric variables using the Bibliometrix R package and the VOSviewer software.
    RESULTS: A continuous increase in RPS-associated publication numbers can be noticed over the time, which is strongly pronounced from 2005 onwards, and is characterized by a multinationally driven collaborative clinical research focus. The research primarily reflects progression regarding surgical techniques, histology-based therapy, radiotherapy regimens, and identification of prognostic clinicopathological factors. This progression is accompanied with improved overall survival of RPS patients. However, a paucity of RPS-specific basic/translational research indicates that such research might be additionally needed to better understand the pathophysiology of RPS and with that to enable the development of personalized therapies and to further improve patient outcome.
    CONCLUSION: Increasing publication numbers of multinationally driven clinical RPS research are accompanied with improved overall survival of RPS patients, highlighting the importance of international collaborations to facilitate future clinical trials. However, this bibliometric analysis reveals a lack of RPS-specific basic/translational research which is needed to further improve patient outcome in the context of precision oncology.

    María Teresa Manjarres, Diana Paola Mahecha Duarte, Jorge Navarro-Obeid, Maria Laura Vergara Álvarez, Isneila Martinez, Lorena Cudris-Torres, Juan Hernández-Lalinde, Valmore Bermúdez.
      The content, management, and implementation of social skills have been developed since the end of the 20th century as a model of capabilities. Thus, as human beings develop and train their basic cognitive and perceptual-motor functions, they increase their ability to solve and cope with difficulties. This article aims to present a bibliometric and systematic review of social skills, using query sources in databases such as Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus between the years 2000 and 2022, with platforms such as Bibliometrix and Gephi. This search yielded a total of 233 records in WoS and 250 records in Scopus that were merged and, after eliminating 143 duplicate data, were consolidated into 340 records that enclose the academic production of 20 years. Through scientific mapping, the main authors, journals, and countries in this field were determined; similarly, the most relevant studies were classified into three categories, namely, classic, structural, and perspectives, which were represented by means of the metaphor of the tree of science. In addition, a program for further studies was planned, such as in-depth qualitative research measuring observationally and directly taking into account emotional expressiveness, emotional understanding, emotion regulation, and behavior, and the impact of social skills training on social problem-solving. Finally, another important aspect to mention is that this research work is useful for the scientific academic community in many areas of knowledge such as psychology, education, and managers of educational institutions.

    Microbe, climate change and marine environment: Linking trends and research hotspots.
    Thirukanthan Chandra Segaran, Mohamad Nor Azra, Fathurrahman Lananan, Youji Wang.
      Microbes, or microorganisms, have been the foundation of the biosphere for over 3 billion years and have played an essential role in shaping our planet. The available knowledge on the topic of microbes associated with climate change has the potential to reshape upcoming research trends globally. As climate change impacts the ocean or marine ecosystem, the responses of these "unseen life" will heavily influence the achievement of a sustainable evolutionary environment. The present study aims to identify microbial-related research under changing climate within the marine environment through the mapping of visualized graphs of the available literature. We used scientometric methods to retrieve documents from the Web of Science platform in the Core Collection (WOSCC) database, analyzing a total of 2767 documents based on scientometric indicators. Our findings show that this research area is growing exponentially, with the most influential keywords being "microbial diversity," "bacteria," and "ocean acidification," and the most cited being "microorganism" and "diversity." The identification of influential clusters in the field of marine science provides insight into the hot spots and frontiers of research in this area. Prominent clusters include "coral microbiome," "hypoxic zone," "novel Thermoplasmatota clade," "marine dinoflagellate bloom," and "human health." Analyzing emerging trends and transformative changes in this field can inform the creation of special issues or research topics in selected journals, thus increasing visibility and engagement among the scientific community.

    The Impact of Global Collaboration on the Academic Focus of the West African College of Surgeons: Are Worldwide Efforts Aligning with Local Priorities?
    Gary S Hoffman, Fatemeh P Parvin-Nejad, Matthew S Linz, S Elina Salter, Christopher Goydos, Vennila Padmanaban, Benedict C Nwomeh, Philip M Mshelbwala, Ziad C Sifri.
      BACKGROUND: Global collaboration has the potential to induce a shift in research focus away from the priorities of those in low- and low-middle-income countries (LICs and LMICs). This study quantified international collaboration among surgery publications by Fellows of the West African College of Surgeons (WACS) and investigated if collaboration with upper-middle-income and high-income countries (UMICs and HICs) decreases the homophily of research focus.METHODS: Publications by WACS surgery Fellows from 1960 to 2019 were characterized as local WACS publications, collaborative publications without UMIC/HIC participation, or collaborative publications with UMIC/HIC participation. Research topics were determined for each publication, and topic percentages were compared between collaboration groups.
    RESULTS: We analyzed 5065 publications. Most (3690 publications, 73%) were local WACS publications, while 742 (15%) were collaborative publications with UMIC/HIC participation and 633 (12%) were collaborative publications without UMIC/HIC participation. UMIC/HIC collaborations contributed to 49% of the increase (378 out of 766 publications) from 2000 to 2019. Topic homophily was significantly lower between local WACS publications and collaborations with UMIC/HIC participation (differed in nine research topics) than it was between local WACS publications and collaborations without UMIC/HIC participation (differed in two research topics).
    CONCLUSIONS: Publications without international collaboration comprise most WACS research, but the rate of UMIC/HIC collaborations is rapidly increasing. We found that UMIC/HIC collaborations decreased the homophily of topic focus in WACS publications, indicating that global collaborations need to have greater emphasis on the priorities of those in LICs and LMICs.

    Knowledge mapping of energy research in the hospitality industry to evaluation research collaboration.
    Xiumei Xu, Kunmei Liu.
      Analyzing collaborations on energy research in the hotel industry has important implications for promoting the research performance in this field. The Web of Science Core Collection from 1984 to 2022 was used to analyze the research contributions and cooperation networks and clusters at three levels: macro (national level), meso (institutional level), and micro (key authors and papers) using a bibliometric approach. The results show the following. (1) The cooperative relationship is the closest between China and the United States. Developed countries in Europe exhibit more academic cooperation. (2) There is a significant regional imbalance in the cooperation between universities. Leading universities rely on their strengths in energy research or hotel management and are often highly productive institutions. (3) The breadth of the authors' cooperation is insufficient. Collaborative research dominated by productive authors tends to focus on practical issues in the local hotel industry. The collaboration between experts from different disciplines benefits from the complementary advantages of these experts. (4) Hotel energy research has evolved from single-disciplinary research in the early days to interdisciplinary research in recent years. This paper provides visualizations of current conditions and deficiencies in existing research collaborations and provides a reference for analyzing the potential of research cooperation.

    Use of life cycle assessment as a tool to evaluate the environmental impacts of textile effluents: a systematic review.
    Gustavo José Araújo Aguiar, Letícia Ramos Almeida, Bruna Soares Fernandes, Sávia Gavazza, Gilson Lima Silva, Simone Machado Santos.
      The textile industry is known for its large consumption of water, energy, and chemical products, making it one of the most environmentally impactful activities. To measure these environmental impacts, life cycle analysis (LCA) is a powerful tool that considers the entire process, from the extraction of raw materials to the finalization of textile products. In this context, this work aimed to present a systematic study on the use of the LCA methodology in the environmental assessment of effluents from the textile industry. The survey for data was carried out using the Scopus and Web of Science databases, and the PRISMA method was utilized for organizing and selecting of articles. During the meta-analysis phase bibliometric and specific data were extracted from selected publications. For the bibliometric analysis, a quali-quantitative approach was adopted, and the VOSviewer software was employed. The review encompasses a total of 29 articles, which were published between 1996 and 2023.The majority of the reviewed articles have shown the use of the LCA as a supportive tool for optimization focusing on sustainability, comparing the environmental, economic, and technical aspects through different approaches. The findings revel that China has the highest number of authors among the selected articles, while researchers from France and Italy had the highest number of international collaborations. The ReCiPe and CML methods were the most frequently used for evaluating life cycle inventories, with global warming, terrestrial acidification, ecotoxicity, and ozone depletion being the main impact categories. The use of activated carbon in textile effluents treatment has shown to be promising since it is environmentally friendly.

    Lorena C Espina-Romero, Jesús M Guerrero-Alcedo, Carlos Ossio.
      Business Ecosystems are made up of a group of companies that cooperate with each other to innovate in a product. This research had the purpose of assessing the scientific activity and thus be able to extract the topics explored by the authors involved, geographical gaps of scientific production and research topics for future studies. In the methodological design, the statistical software VOSviewer and RStudio were used, with which the documentation obtained from Scopus was analyzed and reflected in tables and figures. The results yielded: a) the 7 topics most worked on by researchers on the variable in question, b) a notable geographical scientific gap in Africa, and c) 5 topics of research that can be explored for future scientific papers. In short, this research was performed with high citation documents, therefore, authors are recommended to carry out research in collaboration with authors located in the geographical scientific gap or vice versa but based on the 5 topics of future research, in the niche topics and a declining topic.

    Exploring the Knowledge Structures of Korean and International Nursing Research on Premature Infants Using Text Network Analysis.
    Myeong Seon Lee, Seonah Lee.
      This study aimed to identify the knowledge structures of Korean and international nursing studies on premature infants using text network analysis, which represents a text as a network graph that describes how keywords are linked. This network graph refers to a knowledge structure. International and Korean journal databases were searched to extract nursing studies regarding premature infants published in academic journals from 1998 to 2020. Abstracts from the selected studies were analyzed using the following four steps: word extraction and refinement, keyword extraction, co-occurrence matrix generation, and text network visualization. The results demonstrated that 182 Korean and 2502 international studies were published. The common keywords of Korean and international studies were "kangaroo mother care," "stress," and "child." The keywords of the international studies had more branches linking to other keywords than those of the Korean studies. Thus, the knowledge structure of international studies included diverse concepts. These findings will serve as important guidance for future research worldwide. Furthermore, studies to develop a more comprehensive knowledge structure of international research on premature infants are needed. The knowledge structure of Korean studies mainly included concepts related to mothers. Korean studies regarding hospitalized premature infants and communication with parents need to be conducted.

    A Review and Assessment of Open Access Surgery Journals.
    Robin R Cotter, Luke M Funk, Sandra L Wong.
      INTRODUCTION: Open access publishing has exhibited rapid growth in recent years. However, there is uncertainty surrounding the quality of open access journals and their ability to reach target audiences. This study reviews and characterizes open access surgical journals.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The directory of open access journals was used to search for open access surgical journals. PubMed indexing status, impact factor, article processing charge (APC), initial year of open access publishing, average weeks from manuscript submission to publication, publisher, and peer-review processes were evaluated.
    RESULTS: Ninety-two open access surgical journals were identified. Most (n = 49, 53.3%) were indexed in PubMed. Journals established >10 y were more likely to be indexed in PubMed compared to journals established <5 y (28 of 41 [68.3%] versus 4 of 20 [20%], P < 0.001). 44 journals (47.8%) used a double-blind review method. 49 (53.2%) journals received an impact factor for 2021, ranging from <0.1 to 10.2 (median 1.4). The median APC was $362 United States dollar [interquartile range $0 - 1802 United States dollar]. 35 journals (38%) did not charge a processing fee. There was a significant positive correlation between the APC and impact factor (r = 0.61, P < 0.001). If accepted, the median time from manuscript submission to publication was 12 wk.
    CONCLUSIONS: Open access surgical journals are largely indexed on PubMed, have transparent review processes, employ variable APCs (including no publication fees), and proceed efficiently from submission to publication. These results should increase readers' confidence in the quality of surgical literature published in open access journals.

    Gender-Based Disparities in Academic Productivity Arise During Neurosurgery Residency: A Systematic Review.
    Vera Ong, Maya Harary, Khashayar Mozaffari, Mahlet Mekonnen, Leslie Hwang, Shravan Patel, Natalie Mahgerefteh, Diba Nayeri, Anubhav Chandla, Courtney Duong, Isaac Yang, Manish K Aghi.
      BACKGROUND: Although female neurosurgery residents are increasing, women remain underrepresented in academic leadership.OBJECTIVES: To assess academic productivity differences between male and female neurosurgery residents.
    METHODS: We used the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education records to obtain 2021-2022 recognized neurosurgery residency programs. Gender was dichotomized into male/female by male-presenting/female-presenting status. Extracted variables included degrees/fellowships from institutional websites, number of preresidency and total publications from PubMed, and h-indices from Scopus. Extraction occurred from March to July 2022. Residency publication number and h-indices were normalized by postgraduate year. Linear regression analyses were conducted to assess factors associated with numbers of in-residency publications. P < .05 was considered statistically significant.
    RESULTS: Of 117 accredited programs, 99 had extractable data. Information from 1406 residents (21.6% female) was successfully collected. 19 687 and 3261 publications were evaluated for male residents and female residents, respectively. Male and female residents' median preresidency publication numbers did not significantly differ (M:3.00 [IQR 1.00-8.50] vs F:3.00 [IQR 1.00-7.00], P = .09), nor did their h-indices. However, male residents had significantly higher median residency publications than female residents (M:1.40 [IQR 0.57-3.00] vs F:1.00 [IQR 0.50-2.00], P < .001). On multivariable linear regression, male residents (odds ratio [OR] 2.05, 95% CI 1.68-2.50, P < .001) and residents with more preresidency publications (OR 1.17, 95% CI 1.16-1.18, P < .001) had higher likelihood of publishing more during residency, controlling for other covariates.
    CONCLUSION: Without publicly available, self-identified gender designation for each resident, we were limited to review/designate gender based on male-presenting/female-presenting status from gender conventions of names/appearance. Although not an ideal measurement, this helped show that during neurosurgical residency, male residents publish significantly more than female counterparts. Given similar preresidency h-indices and publication records, this is unlikely explained by differences in academic aptitude. In-residency gender barriers to academic productivity must be acknowledged and addressed to improve female representation within academic neurosurgery.

    Leila Abbas, María Pía Pissani, Gabriel Sequeira, Eduardo Mario Kerzberg.
      OBJECTIVE: To analyse the outcome of scientific abstracts submitted to the Argentine Congress of Rheumatology (ACOR) in 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015.METHODS: Every abstract submitted to the ACOR was analysed. The number of these manuscripts published was determined through Google Scholar and PubMed searches. The impact of the scientific journals was established through the SCImago Journal (SJR) indicator.
    RESULTS: Considering the 727 abstracts evaluated, 10.2% of the articles were found in journals indexed by Google Scholar, and 6.6% in PubMed: 4.7% were published in 2000, 9.4% in 2005, 14.6% in 2010, and 11.9% in 2015 (Log Rank test 0.008), with a statistically significant increase between 2010 and 2015 compared to 2000 (HR 3.3; 95% CI 1.5-7; p 0.002 and HR 2.9; CI 1.4-6.3; p 0.005 respectively). The median SJR of the journals was 0.46 and 67.6% had SJR available.
    CONCLUSIONS: The publication rate was low, and only a few articles were published in the most prestigious journals within the speciality.

      BACKGROUND: Despite a significant growth of women trainees in cardiothoracic surgery recently, women remain a minority of cardiothoracic surgeons and hold a minority of leadership positions. This study evaluates differences in cardiothoracic surgeon subspecialty choices, academic rank, and academic productivity between men and women.METHODS: Seventy-eight cardiothoracic surgery academic programs in the United States, including integrated, 4+3, and traditional fellowships were identified using the ACGME public programs database as of June 2020. A total of 1,179 faculty members were identified within these programs, 585 (50%) adult cardiac surgeons, 386 (33%) thoracic surgeons, and 168 (14%) congenital surgeons, and other 40 (3%). Data was collected using institutional websites, ctsnet.org, doximity.com, linkedin.com, and Scopus.
    RESULTS: Of the 1,179 surgeons, only 9.6% were women. Overall, women composed 6.7% of adult cardiac, 15% of thoracic, and 7.7% of congenital surgeons. Among subspecialties, women represent 4.5% (17/376) of full professors and 5% (11/195) of division chiefs in Cardiothoracic Surgery in the US, have shorter career durations, and lower h-indices compared to males; but had similar m-index, which factors in career length, compared to males in adult cardiac (0.63 vs 0.73), thoracic (0.77 vs 0.90), and congenital (0.67 vs 0.78) surgeons.
    CONCLUSIONS: Career duration including cumulative research productivity appear to be the most important factors predicting full professor rank, potentially contributing to persistent sex-based disparities in academic cardiothoracic surgery.

    Demographic and applicant-specific Predictors of medical school research productivity in a national cohort of dermatology residents.
    Harrison Zhu, Austin Huang, Kelvin Zhou, Anshul Bhatnagar, Ryan Sorensen, Kathryn Cordova, Gianmarco A Calderara, Nina Dasari, R Parker Kirby, Soo Jung Kim.
      Research is a crucial aspect of medical advancement, and applicants applying to dermatology often have very high research outputs. With USMLE Step 1 becoming pass/fail, research productivity may be more emphasized. We primarily sought to assess predictors of medical school research productivity. Class of 2023 dermatology residents publicly listed on ACGME accredited programs were included. Their medical-school bibliography and demographics were assessed using PubMed and other platforms (e.g., Doximity, Linked-in). By multivariable analysis, students who attended a top-25 medical school (ranked by US News and World Reports) or were Ph.D. graduates had significantly higher H-indices, average impact factors, and total years of research activity (P<0.01). Top-25 medical school graduates also had significantly higher total peer-reviewed publications, first authorships, and clinical research manuscripts (P<0.01). Ph.D. graduates had significantly greater clinical research and fewer dermatology-related manuscripts (P<0.03). Graduates of osteopathic medical schools had significantly fewer review papers (P=0.02). Gender and graduation from an international medical school had no relationship with research productivity. Our study demonstrates a correlation between applicant-specific factors and research productivity. Since the emphasis on research productivity may increase, understanding the mechanisms behind these relationships may guide future dermatology applicants or their mentors.

    An analysis of the key drivers of the Japanese digital therapeutics patents: A cross-sectional study.
    Tetsuaki Oda, Chikako Oda.
      Background: Digital therapeutics (DTx) are software or other tools that support or implement medical practices such as disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment using digital technology. DTx has been approved in Japan, and it is anticipated that the number of approvals will increase in the future. DTx differs from conventional medical devices in that its primary purpose is treatment.Aim: This study aims to identify the key drivers of DTx in Japan by analyzing patents in the field of medical information, including DTx.
    Methodology: This study visualizes the results of patent analyses for DTx and examines patent applications that feature applied technology and indications in the medical information field as the key drivers. The study will also employ patent citation analysis. It can be argued that the more citations a patent receives, the more similar research and development activities are being conducted, and the greater the competition. The number of citations per patent application will also be calculated to help identify areas where the value per patent application is high and competition intensifies. A patent citation matrix analysis will be conducted for notable Japanese companies in the DTx field. The citation matrix analysis consists of the number of citations and the company's selfcitation ratio to visualize the patent value. This study investigates the key drivers of DTx by analyzing patent technologies, focusing on patent applications with a high number of citations or a high selfcitation ratio.
    Results: Key drivers of digital therapeutics were examined by analyzing patents in the fields of healthcare informatics and diagnostics. In terms of the number of patent applications and citations in Japan, numerous patents were related to "applications," "sensors," "medical imaging," "central nervous system/psychiatry," and "heart." As a result, Japanese companies are expected to conduct R&D with an eye toward overseas expansion.

      A novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) became a global epidemic just months after the first case of infection was reported in Wuhan, China in December 2019. Its spread has severely affected social systems and people's lives. In the academic world, this led to an increase in the number of papers submitted to this journal. While the number of articles submitted to the journal reached a record high in 2020, the number of articles submitted last year returned to prepandemic levels. In this article, we report on the current submission conditions, including the number of submissions and acceptance rate, as well as the citation trends of highly cited articles and those published by the journal in 2022.

    [Research status of Bovis Calculus and relevant Chinese patent medicines based on bibliometric analysis].
    Jing Wang, You-Yuan Lu, Ming-Xia Xie, Kai He, Bo-Yang Shang, Tao Wang, Han-Qing Wang.
      With scarce resources, natural Bovis Calculus is expensive and hard to meet clinical demand. At the moment, four kinds of Bovis Calculus are available on the market: the natural product, in vitro cultured product, synthesized product, and the product formed in cow after manual intervention. In this study, papers on the four kinds of Bovis Calculus products and relevant Chinese patent medicines were searched from Web of Science, PubMed, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI). CiteSpace, citexs AI, and CNKI were employed for bibliometric analysis and knowledge map analysis. On this basis, the status, trend, and focuses of research on Bovis Calculus and relevant Chinese patent medicines were summarized. The results suggested overall slow development in the research on Bovis Calculus and relevant Chinese patent medicines with three typical growth stages. It is consistent with the development of Bovis Calculus substitutes and the national policy for the development of traditional Chinese medicine. At the moment, the research on Bovis Calculus and relevant Chinese patent medicines has been on the rise. In recent years, there has been an explosion of research on them, particularly the quality control of Bovis Calculus and the Chinese patent medicines, the pharmacological efficacy of Chinese patent medicines, such as Angong Niuhuang Pills, and the comparison of the quality of various Bovis Calculus products. However, there is a paucity of research on the pharmacological efficacy and the mechanism of Bovis Calculus. This medicinal and the relevant Chinese patent medicines have been studied from diverse perspectives and China becomes outstanding in this research field. However, it is still necessary to reveal the chemical composition, pharmacological efficacy, and mechanism through multi-dimensional deep research.

    The landscape of biomedical research progress, challenges and prospects in Saudi Arabia-A systematic review.
    Mohy Uddin, Naif Khalaf Alharbi.
      Introduction: The main objective of this review was to synthesize the progress, challenges and prospects of biomedical research in Saudi Arabia in order to provide a holistic view to all stakeholders, such as policy makers, decision makers, and local researchers along with external collaborators interested in the field of biomedical research in this region.Methods: A systematic review was conducted using the scientific literature for bibliometric studies in the field of biomedical research in Saudi Arabia that comprehensively covered past few decades using PubMed. The search was performed by combining verified Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) terms: "biomedical research", "bibliometrics", "Saudi Arabia" using boolean operator "AND". The data collection was done from January to June 2022 by both authors.
    Results: Out of 202 articles yielded from initial search, 13 articles met all of the inclusion criteria and were examined in details. The outcome of analysis showed that with the augmentation of Research and Development (R&D) globalization in Saudi Arabia, researchers are publishing internationally and collaborating globally, academic and research centers are enriching research environment and policies, and government is taking many initiatives to bolster biomedical research; but still more improvements needs to be achieved by Saudi Arabia to be in the list of strong competitive leading nations in the global biomedical research field.
    Conclusions: There were various key challenges related to biomedical publications and bibliometric aspects for Saudi Arabia that included: publishing preferences, quality of publications, indexing services, international scientific community, and importantly barriers related to planning, funding, training, resources and support at institutional and national levels. This review provided some insights and recommendations to enhance biomedical research in Saudi Arabia that included: effective policies, health priorities, building infrastructures, greater investments, high incentives, skilled recruitment, competitive training and engagement of community that can play a vital role in this context.

    Biomedical Research Infographics and Visual Abstracts Increase Social Media Attention and Article Citation.
    Jefferson C Brand, James H Lubowitz, Michael J Rossi, Andrew Geeslin, Niraj V Kalore.
      Biomedical research Infographics, a short-form neologism for "information graphics," illustrate medical educational information in an engaging manner by enhancing concise text with figures, tables, and data visualizations in the form of charts and graphs. Visual Abstracts present a graphic summary of the information contained in a medical research abstract. In addition to improving retention, both Infographics and Visual Abstracts allow for dissemination of medical information on social media and increase the breadth of medical journal readership. In addition, these new methods of scientific communication increase citation rates, as well as social media attention as determined by Altmetrics (alternative metrics).

    Predictors of self-reported research productivity amongst medical students in the United Kingdom: a national cross-sectional survey.
    REMED-U. K. collaborators
      BACKGROUND: The number of academic clinicians in the UK is declining and there are demographic inequalities in the clinical-academic workforce. Increased research productivity by medical students is believed to reduce future attrition in the clinical-academic workforce. Thus, this study investigated the association between student demographics and research productivity amongst UK medical students.METHODS: This is a national multicentre cross-sectional study of UK medical students in the 2020/21 academic year. We appointed one student representative per medical school, and they disseminated a 42-item online questionnaire over nine weeks, through departmental emails and social media advertisements. The outcome measures were: (i) publications (yes/no) (ii) number of publications (iii) number of first-authored publications (iv) abstract presentation (yes/no). We utilised multiple logistic and zero-inflated Poisson regression analyses to test for associations between the outcome measures and predictor variables at a 5% significance level.
    RESULTS: There are 41 medical schools in the UK. We received 1573 responses from 36 UK medical schools. We failed to recruit student representatives from three newly formed medical schools, whilst two medical schools prohibited us from sending the survey to their students. Women had lower odds of having a publication (OR: 0.53, 95% CI: 0.33-0.85) and on average had fewer first-author publications than men (IRR: 0.57, 95% CI: 0.37-0.89). Compared to white students, mixed-ethnicity students had greater odds of having a publication (OR: 3.06, 95% CI: 1.67-5.59), an abstract presentation (OR: 2.12, 95% CI: 1.37-3.26), and on average had a greater number of publications (IRR: 1.87, 95% CI: 1.02-3.43). On average, students who attended independent UK secondary schools had a higher rate of first-author publications compared to those that attended state secondary schools (IRR: 1.97, 95% CI: 1.23-3.15).
    CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that there are gender, ethnic and socioeconomic inequalities in research productivity among UK medical students. To tackle this, and potentially improve diversity in clinical academia, we recommend that medical schools should facilitate targeted high quality research mentorship, funding and training, especially for under-represented-in-medicine students.

      AIMS: Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) linked to the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have become increasingly frequent. To perform a bibliometric and critical review of the general panorama of publications on oral mucosal lesions (OML) associated with ICIs.METHODS AND RESULTS: Systematized searches were performed in four databases. The included studies were organized and bibliometric and clinical data were extracted and analyzed using VantagePoint and Microsoft Excel. Most of the 35 included studies were reports or case series (n = 33/94.2%). The American authors stood out (n = 17/48.5%), with the majority presenting only one publication. Independent groups carried out most of the publications (n = 31/88.5%). Over the years, publications have increased for users of nivolumab and pembrolizumab. In 21 studies (60%), OML were more common in men, between the 6th and 9th decades of life and who had lung carcinoma (n = 13/37.1%). Pembrolizumab (n = 17/48.5%) was the most used ICI. The patients were affected by one or more OML, including: ulcers (n = 28/80%) and erythema (n = 11/31.4%). Systemic corticosteroids (n = 24/68.5%) and the discontinuation of ICI use (n = 18/51.4%) were the main approaches used.
    CONCLUSION: OML related to the use of ICIs have become increasingly common. More accurate data need to be published.

    Cross-cultural differences in retracted publications of male and female from a global perspective.
    Shenghui Li, Wenyan Xu, Jingqi Yin.
      The aim of this paper is threefold: (i) to identify the combinations of national culture dimensions that lead to high (or low) male or female retracted publications, (ii) to understand the role of personal trust as a relevant condition that combines with national culture dimensions to cause high (or low) male or female retraction, and (iii) to identify the differences in the configurations that lead to those outcomes. Based on framework of Hofstede's cross-cultural analysis and data from Hofstede Center, World Value, and Web of Science, this essay analyzes cultural complex causal relations between national culture and trust dimensions (conditions), and male and female retracted publications (outcomes) in 30 countries nationally and globally by fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis. This research provides three major insights: (i) Cultural dimensions (power distance, individualism, masculinity, uncertainty avoidance, long-term orientation) and trust are not necessary conditions for both male and female to cause retractions, (ii) different levels of personal trust (high/low) combine with national cultural dimensions in order to produce different configurations that can lead to high or low retractions, and (iii) Each gender causes retractions in a similar or identical way, but each also owns its unique way. Finally, we provide effective policy recommendations to specific countries based on our critical conclusions and discussions.

    Managing the "Three Cs" of Academic Literature Authorship: Contributions, Credit, and Conflict.
    Maria Miller Thurston, Nader H Moniri, J Phillip Bowen, C Lea Winkles, Susan W Miller.
      Dissemination of information through publications is central to academic research, as well as professional advancement. Although seemingly a straightforward endeavor, publication authorship may present challenges. Although the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors defines authorship based on 4 required criteria, contemporary interdisciplinary collaborations can complicate authorship determinations. However, communication that occurs early and frequently in the research and writing process can help to prevent or mitigate potential conflicts, while a process for defining authorship contributions can aid in awarding proper credit. The Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT) defines 14 essential roles of manuscript authors that can be utilized to characterize individual author contributions toward any given publication. This information is useful for academic administrators when evaluating contributors of faculty during promotion and tenure decisions. In the era of collaborative scientific, clinical, and pedagogical scholarship, providing faculty development, including statements of credit in the published work, and developing institutional systems to capture and assess contributions are key.

    Ethnic and Gender Diversity in Pathology: A Dream Deferred.
    Imrana Tanvir, Amber Hassan, Shadi Alahmadi, Humaira Waseem, Javaria Anwer, Amer Shafie, Muhammad Ahmad Sheikh, Samah S Elbasateeny, Faisal Khosa.
      Background Equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) remain an elusive dream in the physician workforce in the United States of America (USA). Many studies have documented the tangible and intangible benefits of EDI, including the caregiver, patients, and healthcare organizations. Objective We aim to examine the ethnic and gender diversity trends of the active residents in pathology in United States residency programs. Methods A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on the ethnicity and gender distribution of pathology residency trainees from the academic year 2007-2018. The data was compiled from the American Association of Medical Colleges (AAMC) annual report. Data was entered and analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2013 (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, WA, USA). Frequencies and percentages were calculated, and bar charts and pie charts were used for graphical representation. Results Almost 35,000 US pathology residents were enrolled according to AAMC during this particular period. The highest trend of enrolling in the field of pathology was observed in 2010 and remained the same for years. This shows that the field of pathology in the USA had some acceptance all these years. The most popular speciality in which most residents were enrolled was anatomic/clinical pathology (80%) in which females were dominant over other fields. Conclusion Over the years, we have failed to overcome gender and ethnicity diversity. Gender and ethnicity have a significant influence on leadership positions, academic ranks, and research productivity among pathology faculty members in the USA.

    A global network of scholars? The geographical concentration of institutes in migration studies and its implications.
    Lorenzo Piccoli, Didier Ruedin, Andrew Geddes.
      The study of international migration and responses to it has experienced rapid growth in the last three decades: an institutionalisation of migration studies. This paper identifies and specifies infrastructural and semantic elements of institutionalisation by establishing a global Directory of Migration Research Institutions identifying 282 institutes focused on migration research that were operative between 1945 and 2020. We observe a clear geographical concentration in the Americas and Europe and find that most institutes are in countries with higher economic development (GDP) and net immigration (not emigration). Using this evidence, we suggest that the institutionalisation of migration studies is driven by concerns and ideas produced in high-income 'destination' countries. We thus show that uneven knowledge production in migration studies is not only caused by exclusive categories, language, or journal policies, but also by a structural problem at an earlier stage: because of fewer resources invested in the creation of institutionalised academic knowledge structures, lower income countries have fewer possibilities to shape the semantic features of the field of migration studies, by which we mean the identification of subjects of interest, concepts, narratives, and priorities.

    Improving waste management by focussing on goals: A mini review of the publication sector.
    Paul H Brunner, Astrid Unterberger, Johann Fellner.
      The rationale for this article is that often, decision-makers in waste management (wm) tend to neglect goals and confuse them with means like circular economy or waste hierarchy. Because clear goals are crucial for developing effective wm strategies, the objectives of this mini review are (1) to clarify wm goals in a historical context by a literature review, (2) to investigate how (a) these goals have been observed in general scientific publishing and (b) specifically in Waste Management and Research (WM&R) and (3) to recommend measures for better consideration of wm goals by the publication sector. Based on general as well as specific bibliographic analyses of databases in Scopus and Google Scholar, the study confirms that little attention was given to wm goals in scientific publishing. For instance, during the first 40 years of WM&R, 63 publications and eight editorials were found containing terms related to wm goals, but only 14 respectively and eight explicitly discuss wm goals. We recommend focussing more on wm goals. Editors, authors, reviewers and professional associations in the field of wm should become aware of this challenge and react. If WM&R decides to become a strong platform for the issue wm goals, it will be in a unique selling proposition and more authors, articles and readers are likely to result. This article aims at setting a starting signal for such an endeavour.

    Trends in Racial, Ethnic, and Gender Diversity in Orthopaedic Surgery Adult Reconstruction Fellowships from 2007-2021.
    Peter T Ajayi, Christopher J Murdock, Henson Destine, Delano Trenchfield, Amiethab Aiyer, Julius Oni.
      BACKGROUND: Orthopaedic surgery has seen improvement in its representation of women, whereas the representation of racial/ethnic minorities has remained stagnant over the past decade. Overall, the surgical field lags behind other specialties in sex and racial/ethnic parity. Although demographic disparities within orthopaedics have been analyzed for both residents and faculty members, information for adult reconstruction fellows remains limited.METHODS: Sex and race/ethnicity demographics for adult reconstruction orthopaedic fellowship matriculants were collected via a database published by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) from 2007 to 2021. Statistical analyses including descriptive statistics and significance testing, were performed.
    RESULTS: During the 14-year time frame, men trainees remained high with an overall average percentage of 88% and demonstrated increasing representation (P-trend = .012). White Non-Hispanics, Asians, Blacks, and Hispanics represented on average 54, 11, 3, and 4%, respectively. White Non-Hispanics (P-trend = .039) and Asians (P-trend = .030) saw increasing and decreasing representation, respectively. Women, Blacks, and Hispanics remained relatively stagnant throughout the observation period as no trends were appreciable (P-trend > .05, each).
    CONCLUSION: Using publicly available demographic data from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) from 2007 to 2021, we found relatively limited progress in the representation of women and those from traditionally marginalized groups seeking additional training in adult reconstruction. Our findings mark an initial step in measuring the diversity (or lack thereof) among adult reconstruction fellows. Further research is needed to ascertain specific factors likely to attract and retain members from minoritized groups into orthopaedics.
