    Antimicrobial Stewardship in Surgery: A Literature Bibliometric Analysis.
    Yang-Xi Liu, Ya Yang, Ke-Jia Le, Zai-Li Zhang, Min Cui, Han Zhong, Zhi-Chun Gu.
       Background: Antimicrobial resistance and the dwindling antibiotic development pipeline have resulted in a looming post-antibiotic era. Research related to antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) has grown rapidly in the past decade, especially in the field of surgery. We conducted a bibliometric analysis of these publications. In addition, we aimed to identify research hotspots and infer future research trends.
    Methods: We screened global publications on AMS in the surgical field over ten years (between 2011 and 2020) from the Web of Science core collection database. The keywords "antimicrobial or antibiotic", "stewardship", "management", "management strategies", "programme", "surgery" and "surgical" were used to search for related papers. VOS viewer, R software, and other machine learning and visualization tools were used to conduct the bibliometric analysis of the publications.
    Results: We identified 674 publications on AMS in surgical fields; "antimicrobial stewardship" (with total link strength of 1,096) was the most frequent keyword, and had strong links to "antimicrobial resistance" and "guidelines". The top 100 most cited papers had a mean citation count of 47.21 (range: 17-1155) citations, which were cited by survey research studies, clinical trials, and observational studies. The highest-ranking and most cited journal was Clinical Infectious Diseases with eight publications. Jason G. Newland from Washington University wrote seven papers and was cited 1,282 times. The University of Washington published 17 papers and was cited 1,258 times, with the largest number of publications by author and organization. The USA published 198 papers and cooperated with 21 countries, mainly partnering with Italy, the UK, and Canada. Published articles mainly focused on the current clinical situation regarding surgical AMS management, antibiotic prescription, and antibiotic resistance.
    Conclusions: Publications on surgical AMS management have increased in recent decades, with the USA being the most prolific. Epidemiological investigations of surgical-related infections, antibiotic prescriptions, and antibiotic resistance are fast-developing research trends. However, further improvements are still needed according to the recommendations gained from the bibliometric analysis.

    Global Research Status and Trends in Venous Thromboembolism After Hip or Knee Arthroplasty From 1990 to 2021: A Bibliometric Analysis.
    Wei Song, Tao Ma, Qianyue Cheng, Pengfei Wen, Jiayuan Wu, Linjie Hao, Binfei Zhang, Yakang Wang, Qiuyuan Wang, Yumin Zhang.
       Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) after hip or knee arthroplasty has attracted increasing attention over the past few decades. However, there is no bibliometric report on the publications in this field. The purpose of this study was to analyze the global research status, hotspots, and trends in VTE after arthroplasty.
    Methods: All articles about VTE research after hip or knee arthroplasty from 1990 to 2021 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database. The information of each article including citation, title, author, journal, country, institution, keywords, and level of evidence was extracted for bibliometric analysis.
    Results: A total of 1,245 original articles from 53 countries and 603 institutions were retrieved. The USA contributed most with 457 articles, followed by England and Canada. McMaster University in Canada was the leading institution for publications. The journals with the highest output and citation were the Journal of Arthroplasty and the Thrombosis and Haemostasis, respectively. The median number of citations was significantly different among the levels of evidence (F = 128.957, P < 0.001). The research hotspots switched from VTE diagnosis and heparin to factor Xa inhibitors (fondaparinux, rivaroxaban, apixaban) and direct thrombin inhibitors (dabigatran etexilate, ximelagatran), and finally to aspirin, risk factor studies, which can be observed from the keyword analysis and co-cited reference cluster analysis.
    Conclusions: This study observed an increasing trend of research articles on VTE after arthroplasty. Publications with higher levels of evidence gained further popularity among researchers and orthopedic surgeons. Additionally, individualized VTE prevention and the development of new, safe, effective, and inexpensive oral agents would be emerging trends in the future.

    Bibliometric and Visualized Analysis of 2011-2020 Publications on Physical Activity Therapy for Diabetes.
    Keke Huang, Jing Zhu, Shaozhe Xu, Rong Zhu, Xi Chen.
       Background: This study was designed to investigate the global emerging trends of physical activity therapy for diabetes based on a bibliometric analysis of the publications.
    Methods: Publication papers from 2011 to 2020 were retrieved from the database of "Web of Science Core Collection" with the topic search. A number of papers, citations, authors, countries, institutions, and references were extracted. CiteSpace was used to analyze co-citation on authors, collaborations between countries and institutions, and detect the emerging trends of burst keywords and references.
    Results: A total of 2651 publications were recruited in this study and showed an upward trend of annual publications. Diabetes obesity & metabolism (journal), the United States (country), Harvard University (institution), and Kaku K (author) published the most papers in this research field. "Impaired glucose tolerance" (2011-2012) was the highest strength burst keyword, while "cardiovascular outcome" (2017-2020) was the most burst keyword in the last 5 years. Moreover, "Standards of medical care in diabetes - 2014" was the strongest burst reference.
    Conclusion: "Physical activity therapy for diabetes" has been accepted remarkably over the last 10 years. The keywords of "impaired glucose tolerance," "Cardiovascular outcome," "improves glycemic control," "Self-management," and exercise type including "Aerobic exercise, muscle strength" may be the latest research frontiers.

    A bibliometric analysis of clinical research on fracture-related infection.
    Cheng Li, Andrew L Foster, Nicholas Hang Bao Han, Andrej Trampuz, Michael Schuetz.
       Background: Infection following orthopaedic trauma surgery is increasingly recognized as one of the major research priorities with as primary goal, improving patient care. This increased interest has been anecdotally recognized through published research, research grants, and, finally, with the development of the fracture-related infection (FRI) consensus group. In 2017, the accepted consensus definition of FRI was published, which has been followed by consensus recommendations from both a surgical and medical perspective. A bibliometric analysis was performed to objectively describe the trends in published clinical research related to FRI.
    Methods: The terms related to FRI were searched in the Web of Science database between 2000 and 2020. The characteristics of clinical research on FRI regarding the author, country, journal, institution, scientific output, top 100 most cited articles, and trend topics were analyzed using Bibliometrix and WPS Office.
    Results: A total of 2597 records were eligible for inclusion in this bibliometric approach, with studies originating from 89 countries, including eight languages. The United States of America (USA) published the highest number of articles and citations. International collaborations were present between 72 countries, with the most active country being the USA. The most contributive institution was the University of California. The highest number of papers and citations were from the Injury-International Journal of the Care of the Injured and the Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma. The top 100 most cited articles were published in 27 different journals, with the number of citations ranging between 97 and 1004. The latest trend topics were related to the diagnosis of FRI.
    Conclusion: The present bibliometric analysis shows the research characteristics and trends of FRI from multiple perspectives. The fact that there is an increasing number of studies being published on FRI shows the agreement among scientists and clinicians that standardization with respect to this topic is very important.

    Scientometric Analysis of the Top 50 Most-Cited Joint Arthroplasty Papers: Traditional vs Altmetric Measures.
    Seyed Peyman Mirghaderi, Soroush Baghdadi, Maryam Salimi, Seyyed Hossein Shafiei.
       Background: Alternative scientometric measures have introduced a novel view of the scientific literature. This study aimed to identify the top 50 most-cited recent articles in the field of knee and hip arthroplasty, characterize their traditional and alternative scientometric measures, and determine the relationship between traditional and alternative scientometric measures.
    Material and methods: The 50 most-cited articles with the term "arthroplasty" in the title that were published between 2015 and 2019 were retrieved from the Scopus database. Alternative scientometric parameters such as Altmetric Attention Score (AAS) from Altmetrics bookmarklet (Altmetrics.com) were retrieved. Scientometric variables such as journal impact factor, first author H-index, and keywords were also extracted.
    Results: The 50 most-cited papers accrued 7955 total citations, with a mean of 159.10 ± 56.4 citations per article. The overall mean AAS across the papers was 63.4 ± 164.8. The mean first author's H-index was 23.8 ± 18.9. Papers published in 2017 and 2018 had a significantly higher mean AAS than those published in 2015 and 2016 (35.1 vs 22.5, P = .009). Citation count was weakly correlated with the AAS (correlation coefficient = 0.379, P = .009). Also, AAS had significant correlations with the journal's impact factor (P < .001).
    Conclusion: We found that the AAS was highest in more recently published papers, while citation count had the opposite trend. The AAS was significantly correlated with the journal's impact factor and citation count, but the correlation is weak. This suggests that the alternative scientometric measures are complementary to, and not substitutes for, complement traditional measures such as citation count and impact factor.

    Developments and Emerging Trends in the Global Treatment of Chronic Rhinosinusitis From 2001 to 2020: A Systematic Bibliometric Analysis.
    Fangwei Zhou, Tian Zhang, Ying Jin, Yifei Ma, Zhipeng Xian, Mengting Zeng, Guodong Yu.
       Background: Research on the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) has increased in recent decades. We undertook a bibliometric and visualization analysis of studies on CRS treatment to track research trends and highlight current research "hotspots".
    Methods: Original publications related to CRS treatment were obtained from the Science Citation Index-Expanded (SCI-E) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) databases in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) of Clarivate Analytics between 2001 and 2020. The country/region, institution, author, journal, references, and keywords involved in this topic were extracted using CiteSpace and VOSviewer to identify and analyze the research focus and trends in this field.
    Results: In the previous two decades (especially after 2015), the number of publications on CRS treatment has grown markedly. With regard to publications and access to collaborative networks, the leading country was the USA. High-frequency keywords were "CRS," "endoscopic sinus surgery," "sinusitis," "nasal polyps," "asthma," "rhinosinusitis," "management," "diagnosis," "outcomes," and "quality of life." Inspection of keyword bursts suggested that "clinical practice guideline," "adult CRS," "innate lymphoid cell," "recurrence," and "mepolizumab" are the emerging research hotspots. The timeline view of the cluster map revealed that biologic agents have become an up-and-coming "hot topic" in CRS treatment in recent years.
    Conclusion: Academic understanding of CRS treatment has improved markedly over the past 20 years. We study analyzed the papers objectively, methodically, and comprehensively, and identified hotspots and prospective trends in the field of CRS treatment. These results will aid rhinologists in gaining greater insight into CRS treatment strategies and identifying the changing dynamics of CRS research.

    A Bibliometric Analysis Of Dental Literature Published In Journal Of College Of Physicians And Surgeons Of Pakistan, JCPSP.
    Samira Adnan, Kamil Zafar, Farhan Raza Khan.
       BACKGROUND: Bibliometric analysis of a particular specialty published in single journal allows the identification of publication trends, areas of focus and potential domains for future research that could be publishable within the scope of that journal. This study aimed to analyse the characteristics of dental literature published in JCPSP in order to determine the trend of publication of dentistry-related papers in this journal.
    METHODS: An electronic and hand search was conducted of all JCPSP issues from 1991 till June 2018. The selected articles were analysed for year of publication, field of study, type of article, the names of first author, their gender and affiliation (institute, country), number of authors in each publication and citation count. Data was statistically analysed using SPSS version 20.0.
    RESULTS: Out of approximately 5,400 published articles, 253 were included for analysis. Articles related to Oral and Maxillofacial surgery were in majority (n=54), followed by Operative Dentistry and Endodontics (n=38). Most (n=103) were original research articles. Pakistani authors contributed the majority of articles (n=184). The greatest number of dental articles were published in the year 2014 and 2017 (n=30). The institutions with the highest number of dental papers were Aga Khan University, Karachi and NIMS Dental College, Jaipur, India. The majority of articles were by Manas Bajpai as first author (n=22 articles). The highest citation count was found to be 55.
    CONCLUSIONS: Overall, the proportion of dentistry related articles published in JCPSP is low (4.6%). Researchers working in dental specialties where few publications were observed could be invited to submit relevant publications to JCPSP to broaden the scope of the journal. Foreign authorship should be encouraged to further elevate the standing of this journal. A separate journal for dental research in light of the continually increasing number of dental specialists and researchers is the need of the hour.

    Global Trends and Hotspots in Esketamine Research: A Bibliometric Analysis of Past and Estimation of Future Trends.
    Xiang Li, Ping Xiang, Jianfen Liang, Yifan Deng, Jingyi Du.
       Background: Being the S-enantiomer of racemic ketamine, esketamine is found to be effective for sedation, analgesia, and treating depression. However, there is no comprehensive bibliometric analysis about esketamine research. In this study, we aimed to determine the scientific output and emerging topics related to esketamine.
    Methods: Esketamine-related articles and reviews that published between 2000 and 2020 were obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection database, using key word search of "esketamine" "esketamine hydrochloride", "s-ketamine", "S(+)-ketamine", "(S)-ketamine", or "(-)-ketamine". Various bibliographic elements were collected, including the annual number of publications, citation frequency, countries/regions, institutions, authors, journals, and keywords. Two sorts of scientometric software, namely VOS viewer and CiteSpace, were used to conduct bibliometric and knowledge-map analyses.
    Results: A total of 683 publications were included in the current study. We found the number of publications in esketamine research field had increased annually since 2016. The United States was the leader in this field, with the highest publications number (162, 23.72%), total citations (3504/9713, 36.08%) and H-index (40). The most productive institution was Chiba University in Japan, and esketamine-related papers were mainly published in the journal Anesthesia & Analgesia. The keyword co-occurrence analysis showed that keywords relevant to depression were the most frequent. Moreover, all identified keywords could be divided into four clusters, with the research focus gradually shifting from cluster of "anesthesia and analgesia detection" to "depression treatment effect.".
    Conclusion: The past two decades have shown a marked increase in esketamine research. The United States maintained a top position worldwide, making the most significant contributions in the field of esketamine research. The contributions and collaborations of Asian countries have continuously increased and is a strong area of growth as well as development in recent years. Additionally, the emerging hotspots of esketamine research concentrate on clarifying its depression treatment effect.

    Intellectual Structure and Emerging Trends of White Matter Hyperintensity Studies: A Bibliometric Analysis From 2012 to 2021.
    Yanan Shi, Zehua Zhao, Huan Tang, Shijing Huang.
      White matter hyperintensities (WMHs), which have a significant effect on human health, have received increasing attention since their number of publications has increased in the past 10 years. We aimed to explore the intellectual structure, hotspots, and emerging trends of publications on WMHs using bibliometric analysis from 2012 to 2021. Publications on WMHs from 2012 to 2021 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. CiteSpace 5.8.R3, VOSviewer 1.6.17, and an online bibliometric analysis platform (Bibliometric. com) were used to quantitatively analyze the trends of publications from multiple perspectives. A total of 29,707 publications on WMHs were obtained, and the number of annual publications generally increased from 2012 to 2021. Neurology had the most publications on WMHs. The top country and institution were the United States and Harvard University, respectively. Massimo Filippi and Stephen M. Smith were the most productive and co-cited authors, respectively. Thematic concentrations primarily included cerebral small vessel disease, diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI), schizophrenia, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, microglia, and oligodendrocyte. The hotspots were clustered into five groups: white matter and diffusion tensor imaging, inflammation and demyelination, small vessel disease and cognitive impairment, MRI and multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer's disease. Emerging trends mainly include deep learning, machine learning, perivascular space, convolutional neural network, neurovascular unit, and neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging. This study presents an overview of publications on WMHs and provides insights into the intellectual structure of WMH studies. Our study provides information to help researchers and clinicians quickly and comprehensively understand the hotspots and emerging trends within WMH studies as well as providing direction for future basic and clinical studies on WMHs.

    Bibliometric Analysis of Birt-Hogg-Dubé Syndrome From 2001 to 2021.
    Shixu Liu, Kun Xia, Xiaohong Liu, Yuanyuan Duan, Mu Hu, Hongsheng Xia, Jiayu Lv, Lili Zhang, Yanyi Liu, Xiao Xia, Guangxi Li, Xiangning Cui.
       Background: Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome (BHD) is a rare autosomal dominant inherited disorder caused by germline mutations in folliculin (FLCN). Despite our significantly evolved understanding of BHD over the past decades, no bibliometric analyses have been conducted in this field. This study aimed to analyze and visualize the characteristics of publication outputs, the research hotspots, and scientific frontiers about BHD using bibliometric analysis.
    Methods: All relevant literature on BHD was culled from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database. Valid data were extracted from the articles and visually analyzed using CiteSpace and VOSviewer.
    Results: A total of 751 qualifying papers were included. Publication outputs concerning BHD increased over time. The dominant position of the United States and Japan in BHD research field was evident. National Cancer Institute (the USA) and Yokohama City University (Japan) were the two most productive organizations. W. Marston Linehan exerted a considerable publication impact and had made the most remarkable contributions in the field of BHD. Plos One was the journal with the highest publication outputs, and half of the top 10 journals and co-cited journals belonged to Q1 or Q2. Keyword citation bursts revealed that management, tumor suppressor, flcn gene, spectrum, diagnosis, risk, computed tomography were the emerging research hotspots.
    Conclusion: Research on BHD is prosperous. International cooperation between countries and organizations is also expected to deepen and strengthen in the future. Our results indicated that FLCN-associated pathways involved in the pathogenesis of BHD, specific options for early diagnosis, and molecular-targeting therapies will remain research hotspots in the future.

    David R Hallan, Christopher Messner, Lekhaj C Daggubati, Surav Sakya, Sydnie Thomas, Elias Rizk.
      The study of Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is progressing rapidly. This study aimed to identify historical trends in publications focusing on NF1, to find the top 100 most cited publications on this topic, and to evaluate their level of evidence. This study identifies historical trends in publication regarding NF1 with the aim of providing readers useful information about the areas of research being performed, an educational guide to facilitate novice researchers in conducting effective evidence-based medical research, and unique insight into developments and trends of NF 1 research. This study also evaluates the evidence of highly cited papers on NF1. A search of all databases and journals accessible within Elsevier's Scopus was performed on June 27th, 2020, using combinations of the Boolean queries "Neurofibromatosis 1," "Von Recklinghausen," and "NF1," which yielded 13,599 documents. The top 100 most-cited papers were identified, analyzed, and evaluated for level of evidence. Evidence was assessed using the GRADE guidelines. The top 100 most-cited articles span years 1963-2010 and are published in 50 different journals. The average number of citations per publication was 366.5 (range 189-1527). The most cited article is "Neurofibromatosis: Conference Statement" (Stumpf et al., 1988). In this study, the top 100 most-cited works in NF1 are identified, characterized, and analyzed. This study will serve as a historical point of reference for future research, a jumping point for those unfamiliar with the topic, and an educational foundation for future NF1 specialists and researchers.

    Scientometrics Analysis of World Scientific Research of Pathology and Forensic Medicine.
    Zeinab Jozi, Hamzehali Nourmohammadi.
       Background & Objective: This study examines the extent of scientific publications and patents in pathology and forensic medicine globally and the citation relationship between them from 2011 to 2020, indexed in the Scopus database.
    Methods: In this scientometric study, data were extracted from the SciVal citation database. Search feature and library study method and annual growth rate, relative growth rate, and linear model were used to retrieve and analyze the data. The scientometric indicators included the number of publications and patents of the university in collaboration with industry, the number of articles cited by patents, the number of patents cited by articles, the average number of patents cited by articles, and the number of articles cited.
    Results: The results showed a poor collaboration between academia and industry in pathology and forensic Medicine, and North America is the busiest region in this field. The average growth of patents based on articles, the number of articles mentioned in patents, citations to patents, and the average number of patents of an institute in the articles of that institute have a positive exponential relationship. Based on the linear model, the relationship between articles and citations equals R2 = 0.982, which is inverse and negative. The data set of articles and citations was suitable for polynomial (R2 = .994), linear (R2= .982) and exponential (R2 = .887) models.
    Conclusion: The research process of pathology and forensic medicine is inappropriate, and the citation relationships between articles and patents in this field are weak. Strengthening the link between academia and industry in pathology and forensic medicine can strengthen research in this field.

    Zheng Xu, Ru Liu, Liping Guo, Ziyi Gao, Zicheng Gao, Xiaowei Liu, Jieyun Li, Bin Li, Kehu Yang.
      Bibliotherapy is an important part of art therapy and many publications regarding bibliotherapy have been published in the past. However, there has none about the scientometric study to systematically analyze the development and emerging research trends on bibliotherapy. Therefore, we performed a scientometric investigation to describe trends of this theme. All publications related to bibliotherapy published from 1980 to 2020 were identified and selected from Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Sciences Citation Index, and Arts & Humanities Citation Index of Web of Science Core Collection. VOSviewer was used to create collaborative network plots of countries, institutions, and authors and to perform cluster analysis of keywords. A total of 703 articles were searched, and we retrieved the 100 most cited articles published by 146 institutions from 15 countries in 57 academic journals. The United States occupied a leading position in the field of bibliotherapy and Linköping University was the most productive institution. Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology was the most productive journal. Andersson G, Carlbring P, and Cuijpers P may have an important influence on bibliotherapy research. The applications in depression, anxiety, panic disorder, insomnia, and aphasia are the hot themes. This scientometric review provided a comprehensive understanding of the bibliotherapy research using quantitative and qualitative methods, which can provide references for researchers in the bibliotherapy field. As investigators continue to work, we look forward to the development of bibliotherapy efficacy and the implementation form and steps.

    Investigating the landscape and trajectory of spina bifida research in Asia: a bibliometric analysis.
    Mary Nadine Alessandra R Uy, Ourlad Alzeus G Tantengco.
       BACKGROUND: Spina bifida is a type of a neural tube defect which affects 243.14 per 100,000 babies in Asia. Research articles on spina bifida have increased in the recent years. However, no study has focused on the research trends in this field in Asia.
    METHODS: A systematic review of literature on spina bifida in Asia was performed using the Scopus database from inception to 2020. All published studies on spina bifida conducted in or published by authors from Asia were included in our analysis. Bibliometric information was obtained from Scopus and bibliometrics diagrams were created using VOSviewer software.
    RESULTS: A total of 652 articles were obtained in this study. The number of publications showed an upward trend starting 2000s. The country with the greatest number of publications was Japan while All India Institute of Medical Sciences was the most productive institution in spina bifida research in Asia. The current focus of this field in Asia was prevalence of spina bifida, prenatal diagnosis, folic acid supplementation, and complications of spina bifida. Future areas of research in spina bifida include the genetic basis of neural tube defects and the use of stem cell technology as therapies for spina bifida.
    CONCLUSION: This is the first bibliometric analysis on spina bifida in Asia. It showed the trend and future areas of research on spina bifida in Asia. Despite the increase in scientific literature on spina bifida research, more research outputs and collaborations are needed especially in developing countries in Asia.

    Top 50 Cited Bone Graft Orthopedic Papers.
    Mohamed Elshohna, Nicholas Tsouklidis.
      The purpose of this research is to recognize the highest 50 most-mentioned articles in the literature concentrating on bone grafts. That has been accomplished with the use of the Scopus database and the search slogan "bone grafts," and we inquired for the 50 most-cited articles on bone grafting. The study was completed in September 2020. We investigated the articles issued between 1970 and 2020. The articles were organized and classified based on the total number of citations. We appraised the following information relating to each article: first author, year of publication, journal, and title. A total of 1,580 studies matched our search standards, of which the 50 most-cited extended between 1,862 and 403 citations. Seven articles were cited more than 1,000 times. The article by Marx et al. was the maximum-cited article, with 1,862 citations, followed by Younger et al.'s with 1,461 and Giannoudis et al.'s with 1,245. The majority of the studies originated from the United States (n = 30) and were published in the 2000s. Biomaterials was the most regular destination journal (n = 8), followed by the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery American series (n = 7). A maximum of the articles focused on the different types of bone grafts and their alternatives including bone tissue engineering (n=29). Our investigation of the highest 50 articles linking to bone grafting has emphasized the most significant papers in the field. These cover a wide-ranging variety of topics including types, management, and mechanism of action of bone grafts. To recognize the present treatment guidelines and how the use of bone grafting has grown, it is vital to know the most-cited articles relating to this grafting.

    A bibliometric investigation of the journals that were repeatedly suppressed from Clarivate's Journal Citation Reports.
    Salim Moussa.
      Journals indexed by Clarivate are temporarily suppressed from the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) if their Journal Impact Factor (JIF) scores are distorted through excessive self-citations or citation stacking with other journals. This paper reports the results of a bibliometric investigation that covers the 18 journals that were suppressed three or more times from the JCR. Results indicate that these 18 journals were repeatedly and exclusively suppressed for being excessive self-citers. Together, these 18 journals totaled 65 suppressions. Two of these 18 journals have lost the status of a JIF-carrying journal. One has changed its title to start as a new. Of the 16 journals that are still included in the JCR, 12 (four) have significantly (slightly) reduced their self-citation rates. Two of these journals are, however, experiencing what the author calls a cycle of suppression. Upon further examination, it turned out that one of these 18 journals is currently using JIF boosting stratagems not yet banished by Clarivate.

    Predictors of citation rates for research publications in Neurosciences.
    Hasan Z Jamjoom, Abdulhadi Y Gahtani, Abdulhakim B Jamjoom.
       OBJECTIVES: To identify the predictors of citation rates for research publication in Neurosciences.
    METHODS: All original articles including meta-analyses (MAs) and systematic reviews (SRs) that were published in Neurosciences during 2011 to 2019 were reviewed. The impact of several predictors on citation rates was assessed using correlation coefficient and mean difference tests.
    RESULTS: This study examined 231 articles. The mean article citation number was 11.6. The correlation analysis showed a significant association between citation rates and duration from publication in years (p<0.0001), sample size (p<0.0001), study design (p=0.0353), and level of evidence (LOE) (p=0.03). The comparative analysis showed significantly more citations for articles that were published 6-10 years ago (p<0.0001), had a sample size >91 (p=0.0359), were randomized controlled trials (p=0.0353), MAs and SRs (p<0.0001), and level of evidence (LOE)-I (p=0.0004). Retrospective case series had significantly lower citations. The higher and lower citation numbers for publications from Iran and rehabilitation, respectively, may have been influenced by the duration from publication.
    CONCLUSION: The most significant predictors of citation rates for Neurosciences publications were the age of articles, population size, study design, and LOE. Awareness of the predictors of citation rates may help researchers enhance the academic impact of their work.

    Representation of women on editorial boards of ophthalmology journals: protocol for a cross-sectional study.
    Jeff Park, Yuanxin Xue, Ryan Xue, Tina Felfeli.
       INTRODUCTION: There is a notable under-representation of women in leadership positions in ophthalmology despite the increasing number of women as ophthalmologists. Gender inequality in editorial boards of ophthalmology journals has not been investigated on a global scale. This study will aim to evaluate the representation of women as editorial board members in ophthalmology journals across different regions, journal subspecialties and impact factors.
    METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This will be a cross-sectional study describing the gender composition of editorial boards in ophthalmology journals globally. Ulrich's Periodicals Directory and SCImago Journal & Country Rank will be used to comprehensively identify journals indexed with the keyword, 'ophthalmology'. All journals with active websites and lists of editorial boards will be included. Journals will be categorised according to the World Bank's 2021 classification of countries by income and region, and classified into ophthalmology subspecialties based on publication scope. Impact factors will be obtained from Journal Citation Reports. The gender and academic degrees of each editorial board member will be determined based on journal profiles, institutional websites or name query feature on an online interface. The research impact of each editorial board member will be ascertained from the author records on Web of Science. The gender proportion will be presented for all journals combined, and then for journals grouped by regions, subspecialties and impact factors. Editorial board member characteristics including academic degrees and research productivity measures will be compared between men and women. These comparisons will be made using the χ2 test for categorical variables and the independent samples t-test for continuous variables.
    ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This study did not require research ethics approval given the use of publicly available data and lack of human subjects. The results will be presented at scientific meetings and published in peer-reviewed journals.

    The Influence of Orthopedic Journals in Knee Arthritis Treatment Research: Evaluation Using Relative Citation Ratio.
    Martinus Megalla, Zachary T Grace, Ali M Omari, Angeline Sanders, Nareena Imam, John D Koerner, Frank G Alberta, Gregg R Klein.
      Introduction The iCite database, developed by the National Institute of Health (NIH), utilizes a bibliometric known as the relative citation ratio (RCR) to gauge scholarly impact. The goal of this study was to use the RCR to evaluate the influence of orthopedic journals in regard to knee arthritis treatment literature, as no such studies exist to date. Materials and methods The 100 highest RCR-rated articles published between 2007 and 2017 were obtained in the following categories: physical therapy (PT), viscosupplementation (VS), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroid injection (CSI), results of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and meniscectomy (MS). Journals were categorized with respect to the following specialties: general orthopedics (GO), orthopedic subspecialty (OSS), nonsurgical musculoskeletal (NSMSK), general medicine (GM), and basic science/nonclinical (BS/NC). Results Across the seven domains, GO journals held the highest median RCR, while OSS ranked fourth (RCR, 6.60 versus 3.95; p=0.0027). GO journals were considered the most influential specialty in CSI (RCR, 2.99), while OSS journals held the highest median RCR in PRP (RCR, 4.10). OSS and GO journals ranked third (RCR, 4.79) and fourth (RCR, 4.21), respectively, in NSAIDs, lagging behind NSMSK and GM journals. Conclusions Bibliometric tools, such as the RCR, can inform the orthopedic field of current and future research trends and help guide further research efforts. Currently, publications in GO journals hold a strong influence in CSI but less so in PT and NSAIDs. The use of bibliometrics allows the identification of highly influential non-orthopedic articles and journals to read while identifying influential non-orthopedic researchers to promote interdisciplinary collaboration.

    Progress in urban resilience research and hotspot analysis: a global scientometric visualization analysis using CiteSpace.
    Yijun Liu, Qin Li, Wenlong Li, Yang Zhang, Xingwang Pei.
      Increasing global climate change has led to increasingly sudden, abnormal, and complex natural disasters. Global disaster governance is facing complex and severe challenges. Urban resilience research (URR) can help cities withstand disasters and quickly recover from adversities through the rational allocation of resources. Consequently, URR has attracted considerable attention from urban ecology researchers. Over the past decade, despite an increasing number of articles reported on URR, there has been no systematic theoretical framework, no comprehensive review of the research, and no clarity on how different perspectives have evolved. This research selects 1647 articles related to global urban resilience from the Web of Science Core Collection and performs a global scientometric visualization analysis using CiteSpace and ArcGIS software. In this study, we visually display the most productive institutions, authors, and sources in URR. Additionally, we explain how research topics have changed over time and analyze research frontiers. The results show that (1) URR has accelerated globally in the last decade; (2) research hotspots are mainly concentrated in environmental science and ecology, science and technology, and water resources; and (3) URR is gradually becoming a multidisciplinary research field. Our research reveals the status and future trends of URR through quantitative visualization methods, helping to address some emerging and unexpected risks and vulnerabilities.

    A Bibliometric Analysis of the Landscape of Pediatric Liver Transplantation.
    Lei Shi, Jie Zhou, Chenyi Jiang, Wanbing Dai, Weifeng Yu, Qiang Xia, Diansan Su.
       Background: Nowadays, pediatric liver transplantation (PLT) has become an effective strategy for treating various acute or chronic end-stage liver diseases and inherited metabolic diseases. Many experts have already concluded the current challenges and future directions of PLT. However, no detailed analysis of the publication landscape has substantiated these proposed opinions.
    Methods: This study presents a bibliometric review of the articles related to PLT between 1997 and 2020. A total of 3,084 publications were analyzed mainly by CiteSpace and VOSviewer.
    Results: The field of PLT has evolved gradually in the past two decades. Articles increased at an average rate of 97 articles every 4 years. University of Pittsburgh (PITT) is the most prolific institution. The three most productive regions are North America, Europe, and East Asia. Currently, interdisciplinary studies on PLT are scarce. The main goal of PLT has shifted from survival rates to long-term outcome. The quality of life, living donor liver transplantation (LDLT), immunological biomarkers, perioperative hemodynamic management, expanding the indications of PLT, etc. are parts of the emerging research fronts. In the past two decades, articles that contain potentials that may lead to transformative discoveries are scarce, and obvious deficits can be seen in the field of new therapies.
    Conclusions: Long-term outcome and good quality of life represent the principal direction of work concerning PLT. Deficits in new therapies align with the shortage of intellectual milestones, which indicate possible subsequent intellectual milestones may occur as innovations in therapies such as new immunosuppression therapies or liver cell transplantation.

    The research output of rod-cone dystrophy genetics.
    Lama Jaffal, Zamzam Mrad, Mariam Ibrahim, Ali Salami, Isabelle Audo, Christina Zeitz, Said El Shamieh.
      Non-syndromic rod-cone dystrophy (RCD) is the most common condition in inherited retinal diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the research output and productivity related to RCD genetics per countries as classified by the human development index (HDI), by analyzing publication frequency and citations, the choice of journals and publishers, since 2000 to date. We have also analyzed the use of next-generation sequencing (NGS) in publications originating from countries with different HDIs. One thousand four hundred articles focusing on non-syndromic RCD were downloaded and analyzed. Citations and published articles were adjusted per one million individuals. The research output is significantly higher in very high HDI countries (86% of the total publications and 95% of the citations) than countries with lower HDIs in all aspects. High and medium HDI countries published together 13.6% of the total articles worldwide and received 4.6% of the citations. On the publication level, the USA (26%), United Kingdom (10%), and Japan (7%) were the top 3 among very high HDI countries, while China (6%) and India (2%) ranked first in high and medium HDI countries respectively. On the citation level, similar profiles were found. Following adjustment for population size, Switzerland (~14%), Jordan (~ 1%) and Morocco (<0.2%) showed the highest rates of publications in very high, high and medium HDI countries respectively. Very high HDI countries published 71% of their papers in first quartile journals (first quartile in Scimago journal rank; Q1), and 23% in Q2 journals. High and medium HDI countries showed a similar profile in quartiles with ~ 40% of their papers published in Q1 journals and ~ 30% in Q2 journals. The first publication using NGS was issued in 2009 in very high HDI countries, while it appeared in 2012 in high HDI countries, and in 2017 in medium HDI countries, with a respective lag of 3 to 8 years compared to very high HDI countries. A profound gap exists between very high HDI countries and the rest of the world. To fill it in, we propose implementing NGS, supporting international collaborations, building capacities and infrastructures, improving accessibility of patients to services, and increasing national and international funding.

    Child Abuse as an Example of Coexistence of Emotional and Physical Trauma Among Children: An Academic Overview With Altmetric Perspective.
    Fatih Akova, Zehra Koyuncu, Elif Erol, Burak Dogangun, Nuket Guler Baysoy, Mehmet Dokur, Alper Ozkilic, Mehmet Karadag.
       INTRODUCTION: Child abuse combines emotional, physical, sexual, and neglect aspects of violence, thus diversifying the trauma for a child. Publications about child abuse had been discussed in academia for long years and evaluated by bibliometric analysis, frequently. This study aims to evaluate the most discussed/disseminated scientific publications about child abuse in electronic media such as social media accounts, blogs, podcasts, and media news sites using a new analysis method called altmetric analysis.
    METHODS: The data were obtained from the Altmetric Explorer database using the phrase "child abuse," in 2021. After being ranked by altmetric attention score (AAS), descriptive statistics for all publications as well as detailed analyses for the first-100 publications were performed. Variables evaluated were AAS, dimensions-badge value, distribution of web sources, demographic/geographic-breakdown type distributions, main subject categories, and mesh terms. Kruskal Wallis test was used for AAS and dimensions-badge value comparisons while Spearman correlations and regression analysis were also performed. Analyses were performed by SPSS 23.0 (IBM SPSS, Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) and p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
    RESULTS: Publications about child abuse were shared extensively on social media, mostly on Twitter. In terms of the main subject, sexual abuse was the trending topic, followed by physical abuse and maltreatment. Psychology, studies in human society, health sciences, and law/legal issues were the four main science categories about the subject. The United States was the major disseminator of publications while Child Abuse and Neglect was the most productive journal. There was a weak but significant (p<0.05) positive correlation between AAS and dimensions-badge values.
    CONCLUSION: Child abuse is a multidimensional subject in social media. As the number of publications increases, the possibility of articles to be shared on different social media platforms also increases. The majority of the top-100 publications are the ones emphasizing the importance of child abuse in terms of the prevalence, individual/social burden, and negative consequences.

    Knowledge Mapping of Articles on Application of the Quran and Hadiths in Health Care: VOSviewer Visualization Techniques.
    Somayyeh Nadi-Ravandi, Zahra Batooli.
      This study sought to conduct a knowledge mapping of articles to shed light on the application of the Quran and Hadiths in health care. The study is applied in terms of purpose and scientometrics in terms of type, which has been carried out using retrospective bibliometric analysis methods and visualization through knowledge mapping. In order to do so, the PubMed database with related keywords was thoroughly searched. Then, 302 relevant articles were reviewed in terms of the author, the year of publication, the journal, and the subject. In addition, VOSviewer software was employed to analyze and visualize keywords and maps of the articles. The findings showed that 302 articles were published between 1972 and 2021 in 190 journals, among which the Journal of Religion and Health was ranked first with 43 articles. Word co-occurrence map of scientific products of the Quran and Hadith in health care were categorized into six clusters, namely: "complementary and alternative medicine," "ethics," "the effectiveness of spirituality on the treatment and control of mental illness," "women's rights and status," "family planning, infertility treatment and abortion," and "the views of the Quran and Hadiths on sexual issues." Adopting a holistic approach toward the application of various aspects of the Quran and Hadiths on health care, the present study can be considered as a pioneering research whose results can account for determining relevant applied research projects.

    Social network analysis in business and management research: A bibliometric analysis of the research trend and performance from 2001 to 2020.
    Adhe Rizky Anugerah, Prafajar Suksessanno Muttaqin, Wahyu Trinarningsih.
      In the past years, research in Social Network Analysis (SNA) has increased. Initially, the research area was limited to sociology and anthropology but has now been used in numerous disciplines. The business and management discipline has many potentials in employing the SNA approach due to enormous relational data, ranging from employees, stakeholders to organisations. The study aims to analyse the research trend, performance, and the utilisation of the SNA approach in business and management research. Bibliometric analysis was conducted by employing 2,158 research data from the Scopus database published from 2001 to 2020. Next, the research quantity and quality were calculated using Harzing's Publish or Perish while VOSviewer visualised research topics and cluster analysis. The study found an upward trend pattern in SNA research since 2005 and reached the peak in 2020. Generally, six subjects under the business and management discipline have used SNA as a methodology tool, including risk management, project management, supply chain management (SCM), tourism, technology and innovation management, and knowledge management. To the best of the authors' knowledge, the study is the first to examine the performance and analysis of SNA in the overall business and management disciplines. The findings provide insight to researchers, academicians, consultants, and other stakeholders on the practical use of SNA in business and management research.

    The Research Landscape of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1 (2000-2021): A Bibliometric Analysis.
    Chenzhe Feng, Haolin Chen, Leyi Huang, Yeqian Feng, Shi Chang.
       Introduction: This study aimed to investigate the landscape of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1 research during the last 22 years using machine learning and text analysis.
    Method: In December 2021, all publications indexed under the MeSH term "Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1" were obtained from PubMed. The whole set of search results was downloaded in XML format, and metadata such as title, abstract, keywords, mesh words, and year of publication were extracted from the original XML files for bibliometric evaluation. The Latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) topic modeling method was used to analyze specific themes.
    Results: This study eventually contained 1,407 publications. Among them, there are 768 (54.58%) case reports and reviews. Text analysis based on MeSH words revealed that the most often studied clinical areas include therapy efficacy, prognosis, and genetic diagnosis. The majority of basic study is focused on genetic alterations. The LDA topic model further identifies three topic clusters include basic research, treatment cluster, and diagnosis cluster. In the basic research cluster, many studies are focused on the expression of Menin. The primary focus of the therapy cluster is pancreatic resections and parathyroidectomy. In the diagnose cluster, the main focus is on Genetic Diagnosis and screening strategies for Hereditary Cancer Syndrome.
    Conclusion: The current state of research on MEN1 is far from adequate. Research on rare diseases MEN1 necessitates implementing a broad research program involving multiple centers to advance MEN1 research together.

    Low-carbon economy and policy implications: a systematic review and bibliometric analysis.
    Jingtian Wang, Yi Zhou, Fang Lee Cooke.
      In the face of the rapid increase of carbon emissions, climate warming, and an epidemic situation, low-carbon economy is attracting growing attention. Using bibliometric analysis and machine learning methods, the paper conducts a systematic review in the low-carbon economy. Using the Web of Science Core Collection database, 1433 articles from 1990 to 2021 were selected for review. We find that the trajectories of the low-carbon economy research can be divided into four phases: exploration, fermentation, rising, and flourishing. The low-carbon economy research can be categorized into five clusters: low-carbon energy policy, carbon footprint and carbon trading, energy-economy-environment system, energy efficiency and its decomposition, and carbon emission drivers. The findings of this review study shed light on the role and effects of low-carbon economic policies on energy futures.

    Trends in inflammatory bowel disease infections and vaccinations in the past four decades: A high-level text mining analysis of PubMed publications.
    Eyal Klang, Shelly Soffer, Eyal Shachar, Adi Lahat.
       AIM: We aimed at assessing the published literature on different prophylactic screening and vaccination options in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients between 1980 and 2020. Special attention was attributed to latest data assessing covid-19 vaccinations.
    METHODS: We have queried PubMed for all available IBD-related entries published during 1980-2020. The following data were extracted for each entry: PubMed unique article ID (PMID), title, publishing journal, abstract text, keywords (if any), and authors' affiliations. Two gastrointestinal specialists decided by consensus on a list of terms to classify entries. The terms belonged to four treatment groups: opportunistic infections, prophylactic screening, prophylactic vaccinations/treatment, and routine vaccines. Annual trends of publications for the years 1980-2020 were plotted for different screening, vaccinations and infection types. Slopes of publication trends were calculated by fitting regression lines to the annual number of publications.
    RESULTS: Overall, 98,339 IBD entries were published between 1980 and 2020. Of those, 7773 entries belonged to the investigated groups. Entries concerning opportunistic infections showed the sharpest rise, with 19 entries and 1980 to 423 entries in 2020 (slope 11.3, p < .001). Entries concerning prophylactic screening rose from 10 entries in 1980 to 204 entries in 2020 (slope 5.4, p < .001). Both entries concerning prophylactic vaccinations/treatments and routine vaccines did not show a significant rise (slope 0.33 and slope 0.92, respectively). During the COVID 19 pandemic, a total of 44 publications were identified. Of them, 37 were relevant to vaccines and immune reaction. Nineteen publications (51%) were guidelines/recommendations, and 14 (38%) assessed immune reaction to vaccination, most of them (11, 61%) to mRNA vaccines.
    CONCLUSIONS: During the past two decades, along with a rapid increase in biologic therapy, publications regarding opportunistic infections and prophylactic screening increased in a steep slope compared to the two decades in the pre-biologic area. During the COVID-19 pandemic, most publications included vaccination recommendations and guidelines and only 38% included real-world data assessing reaction to vaccinations. More research is needed.

      Objective. To evaluate the status of gender equity in US pharmacy education since the two previous publications in 2004 and 2014.Methods. Data were gathered from existing national databases, internal American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) databases, AACP meeting minutes, published reports, scholarly articles, pharmacy association websites, individual school websites, and LinkedIn profiles. Differences between men and women were evaluated on degree completion, discipline, rank, tenure status, research, leadership development, leadership positions, salaries, and professional awards. Comparisons were also made to academic medicine and dentistry.Results. There are 51% female full-time faculty members across all academic pharmacy disciplines. The number of women at the rank of professor is 36.6% compared to 25% in 2014. Of the 2,992 tenured or tenure track pharmacy faculty, 39.2% are women. Out of 388 department chairs, 146 are women. Throughout 2014-2021, there were 121 CEO Dean permanent appointments with 91 men (75.2%) and 30 women (24.8%). Women received 29.7% of the National Institutes of Health grants awarded to pharmacy schools compared to men (70.3%), although women's funding amount was higher. In both the pharmacy practice discipline and all sciences disciplines, the total salary across all ranks and years in rank was significantly higher for men than women, as well as for department chairs, but there were no differences for CEO Deans. To date, women have received 13% of four national pharmacy organizations' top 13 awards.Conclusion. Since 2014, some achievement gaps have narrowed but areas of concern still exist and need continued attention and resources so inequities can be eliminated. Women in academic pharmacy need mentoring and support to extend throughout the trajectory of their careers in areas such as academic advancement, grant applications, salary negotiation, leadership pursuit, and award applications.

    Visualization and Analysis of the Mapping Knowledge Domain of Acupuncture and Central Nervous System Cell Apoptosis.
    Rongming Qi, Zhe Xue, Yaru Liu.
      Chinese acupuncture therapy has demonstrated good clinical effects on neurological diseases and is widely used internationally. In the past 20 years, an increasing number of researchers around the world have devoted themselves to the study of the effect and mechanism of acupuncture for the treatment of central nervous system cell apoptosis. To discover the current research status of acupuncture-induced antiapoptosis in the central nervous system, we used the method of scientometric research and data visualization software to visually analyse 155 articles. The findings are as follows. First, the antiapoptosis effects of acupuncture in the central nervous system have received increasing attention overseas and domestically. China and the United States have leading positions in this research field. Second, 5 stable and high-yielding research teams have been formed in the field of acupuncture-induced antiapoptosis. The main research directions of these teams are electroacupuncture (EA) pretreatment for the central nervous system cell apoptosis, acupuncture for antineuronal apoptosis in vascular dementia, EA regulation of related signalling pathways, EA regulation of nerve cell apoptosis and autophagy after stroke, and EA regulation of the MAPK signalling pathway. Researchers on teams with more extensive cooperation have more research results and better research continuity. Third, there are diversified research hotspots. The original research hotspots are still receiving attention, and new hotspots have emerged in recent years.

    Mapping the scientific structure and evolution of renewable energy for sustainable development.
    Meihui Li, Yi Lu, Xinxin Xu.
      The integration of renewable energy and sustainable development (RE&SD) can help overcome existing obstacles and create opportunities for renewable energy deployment to achieve sustainable development goals. In view of the limited research on science mapping and visualization analyses of RE&SD, this study sought to determine the scientific structure and evolution based on longitudinal and mapping change analysis. As an entity in the knowledge base, keyword and subject were considered essential information of documents. The co-word network was generated using SciMAT to reveal the dynamic aspects of the scientific research in the five subperiods. The thematic evolutionary analysis identified two main RE&SD thematic areas, with the current research hotspots that involved technological, environmental, sustainable energy innovation, and sustainable biofuel contributions. The alluvial diagram using MapEquation revealed significant structural changes from subject data. Clusters of subjects continued to grow, and more interdisciplinary integration was undergoing. This study provides a systematic study of RE&SD research, and the future research of RE&SD may inevitably consider renewable energy investment and renewable energy perspective approaches to achieve sustainable development goals.

    Supply chain disruption during the COVID-19 pandemic: Recognizing potential disruption management strategies.
    Javid Moosavi, Amir M Fathollahi-Fard, Maxim A Dulebenets.
      The COVID-19 pandemic has made a significant impact on various supply chains (SCs). All around the world, the COVID-19 pandemic affects different dimensions of SCs, including but not limited to finance, lead time, demand changes, and production performance. There is an urgent need to respond to this grand challenge. The catastrophic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic prompted scholars to develop innovative SC disruption management strategies and disseminate them via numerous scientific articles. However, there is still a lack of systematic literature survey studies that aim to identify promising SC disruption management strategies through the bibliometric, network, and thematic analyses. In order to address this drawback, this study presents a set of up-to-date bibliometric, network, and thematic analyses to identify the influential contributors, main research streams, and disruption management strategies related to the SC performance under the COVID-19 settings. The conducted analyses reveal that resilience and sustainability are the primary SC topics. Furthermore, the major research themes are found to be food, health-related SCs, and technology-aided tools (e.g., artificial intelligence (AI), internet of things (IoT), and blockchains). Various disruption management strategies focusing on resilience and sustainability themes are extracted from the most influential studies that were identified as a part of this work. In addition, we draw some managerial insights to ensure a resilient and sustainable supply of critical products in the event of a pandemic, such as personal protective equipment (PPE) and vaccines.

    Qingyun Li, Zihan Bu, Mengting Xue, Anle Huang, Wenjing Tu, Guihua Xu.
       Background: This study aimed to conduct a literature search to determine research hotspots in the field of gerontological care education in China and abroad. A knowledge of the focus of research conducted abroad may assist Chinese educators in determining the shape of gerontological care education in the future.
    Methods: The "Web of Science Core Collection" and "CNKI" databases were searched for literature on gerontological care education published from 2010 to 2020. CiteSpace software was used to display the knowledge map of co-occurrence of keywords, and an evolution trend map of research hotspots in recent 10 years was constructed.
    Results: From 2010 to 2020, the focus of foreign gerontological nursing education research was on the training of gerontological nursing personnel; the development of elderly care services; and education and training in dealing with patients with senile delirium and dementia. The focus of gerontological nursing education research in China was primary care education, training of senior elderly nursing personnel, talent training mode reform, training of nursing staff, and career development paths for geriatric nursing staff.
    Conclusions: Foreign geriatric nursing education research focuses on cultivating talents, mental health services for the elderly, innovating the mode of pension, and the care of patients with disorders such as dementia and delirium, while in China, the emphasis remains on gerontological nursing personnel training. Attention to research developments in other countries may assist Chinese educators to promote the development of geriatric nursing education in our country.
