    Xia Xu, Yajiao Wang, Yumeng Li, Bingxuan Zhang, Qingqiao Song.
      Cardiovascular disease (CVD) refers to a group of diseases involving the heart or blood vessels and is currently the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in many countries around the world and poses a serious economic burden. Macrophages are key effectors of inflammatory and innate immune responses, and their aberrant expression contributes to the development of various types of CVD.This study retrieved articles published from 1990-2022 on macrophages in CVD from the Web of Science core collection, based on CiteSpace and VOSviewer on these literature The annual output, countries and regions, institutions, authors, core journals, keywords and co-cited literature were analyzed. A total of 7,197 articles and reviews were retrieved, with a general upward trend despite slight fluctuations in annual publications. Europe, the United States and Asia are the main countries and regions publishing articles, especially the United States, with the highest number of articles (2,581), citations (173,692) and H-index (197), which also has the world's largest number of elite institutions, professional The country also has the world's largest number of elite institutions, professional researchers and high-impact journals, and is the leading country in this field of research. Keywords "inflammation", "immunology", "autophagy", "lipid-peroxidation" are the main pathogenesis of CVD caused by macrophages. "NLRP3", "nf kappa b" and "TNF-α" are the most frequently studied signalling pathways. Atherosclerosis, myocarditis and myocardial injury are the most studied disease types in this field. In addition, the study of macrophage-related CVD induced by COVID-19 seems to be a recent hot topic, and the mechanisms involved are mainly macrophage polarization, inflammatory factor storm, ACE2 and so on. The present study reveals hot spots and new trends in research on macrophages in CVD, which can provide scholars with key information in this field of research and help further explore new research directions.

    Abdurrahman Ekici, Sevil Alkan, Selahattin Aydemir, Esra Gurbuz, Ahmet Hakan Unlu.
      Naegleria fowleri is one of the most dangerous protozoan agents. This article describes a bibliometric review of the literature on N. fowleri research indexed in WoS during a 51-year period. The VOSviewer visualization methodology was used to conduct a bibliometric study. The data included articles from the Web of Science database, nations, institutions, journals, keywords, co-authorship, co-citations, international collaborations, and citation rates. A total of 1106 articles were retrieved from the Web of Science database. The articles were cited 21,904 times in total (cited 12,138 times without self-citations). The average citation per article was 19.82. The Hirsch index was 63. The leading country according to the number of published articles was the United States of America (USA) (n = 447; 40.416%), followed by Mexico (n = 80; 7.233%), and Australia (n = 63; 5.696 %). Other than these top three countries, the publications were from 74 countries globally. Especially after the 2000s, both the number of citations and the number of publications exhibited an increasing trend. The Virginia Commonwealth University (USA) (9.584%), Centers for Disease Control Prevention (USA) (8.770%), and Instituto Politecnico Nacional Mexico (4.069%) were the leading affiliations. Most of the leading affiliations were from the USA and Mexico. In conclusion, a bibliometric evaluation of N. fowleri was performed for the first time. Authors affiliated with institutions in the USA and Mexico have led scientific production on PAM. Efforts should be made to help developing countries with the highest prevalence of N. fowleri to develop scientific research networks with the USA and/or Mexico in order to increase research with interdisciplinary teams.

    Marco Aurélio Benini Paschoal, Fernanda Vieira Belém, Luna Chagas Clementino, Paulo Antônio Martins-Júnior.
      This bibliometric study analyzed the 100 most-cited papers about the use of lasers and their modalities in dentistry. A search strategy was created using specific keywords related to the topic. A comprehensive search was then conducted in the Web of Science Core Collection (WoS-CC) database up to July 2021. Papers that addressed the application of any type of laser and its modalities in dentistry were included. Each paper was cross-matched with the number of citations on Scopus and Google Scholar. The following data were extracted from papers: title, number of citations, authorship, country, year of publication, journal, study design, subject, laser type, and oral health outcomes. The VOSviewer software was used to generate bibliometric networks. The total number of citations ranged from 120 to 4,124 and 23 papers received more than 200 citations. Papers were published from 1964 to 2015. Most papers were from Europe (42%) and Anglo-Saxon America (27%). The USA was the country with more top 100 papers (25%). Papers were published mainly in Lasers in Surgery and Medicine (15%) and Lasers in Medical Science (7%). VOSviewer maps demonstrated the existence of national and international research collaborations among institutions and authors. Most studies had a laboratory design (57%) and were about restorative dentistry (32%) and periodontics (21%). This bibliometric study of the top 100 most-cited papers on lasers in dentistry allowed a quantitative and qualitative analysis of this very promising research field, revealing a net of collaboration and the importance of this topic in dentistry.

    Decan Jiang, Tengfei Ji, Wenjia Liu, Jan Bednarsch, Markus Selzner, Johann Pratschke, Georg Lurje, Tiansheng Cao, Isabel M A Brüggenwirth, Paulo N Martins, Sven Arke Lang, Ulf Peter Neumann, Zoltan Czigany.
       BACKGROUND: Nearly 40 y have passed since the 1983 National Institutes of Health Consensus-Development-Conference, which has turned liver transplantation (LT) from a clinical experiment into a routine therapeutic modality. Since' clinical LT has changed substantially. We aimed to comprehensively analyze the publication trends in the most-cited top-notch literature in LT science over a 4-decade period.
    METHODS: A total of 106 523 items were identified between January 1981 and May 2021 from the Web of Science Core Collection. The top 100 articles published were selected using 2 distinct citation-based strategies to minimize bias. Various bibliometric tools were used for data synthesis and visualization.
    RESULTS: The citation count for the final dataset of the top 100 articles ranged from 251 to 4721. Most articles were published by US authors (n = 61). The most prolific institution was the University of Pittsburgh (n = 15). The highest number of articles was published in Annals of Surgery, Hepatology, and Transplantation; however, Hepatology publications resulted in the highest cumulative citation of 9668. Only 10% of the articles were classified as evidence level 1. Over 90% of first/last authors were male. Our data depict the evolution of research focus over 40 y. In part, a disproportional flow of citations was observed toward already well-cited articles. This might also project a slowed canonical progress, which was described in other fields of science.
    CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights key trends based on a large dataset of the most-cited articles over a 4-decade period. The present analysis not only provides an important cross-sectional and forward-looking guidance to clinicians, funding bodies, and researchers but also draws attention to important socio-academic or demographic aspects in LT.

    Global Research Trends in Irritable Bowel Syndrome: A Bibliometric and Visualized Study.
    Tai Zhang, Xiangxue Ma, Wende Tian, Jiaqi Zhang, Yuchen Wei, Beihua Zhang, Fengyun Wang, Xudong Tang.
       Background: There are about 10-23% of adults worldwide suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Over the past few decades, there are many aspects of uncertainty regarding IBS leading to an ongoing interest in the topic as reflected by a vast number of publications, whose heterogeneity and variable quality may challenge researchers to measure their scientific impact, to identify collaborative networks, and to grasp actively researched themes. Accordingly, with help from bibliometric approaches, our goal is to assess the structure, evolution, and trends of IBS research between 2007 and 2022.
    Methods: The documents exclusively focusing on IBS from 2007 to 2022 were retrieved from the Science Citation Index Expanded of the Web of Science Core Collection. The annual productivity of IBS research, and the most prolific countries or regions, authors, journals and resource-, intellectual- and knowledge-sharing in IBS research, as well as co-citation analysis of references and keywords were analyzed through Microsoft Office Excel 2019, CiteSpace, and VOSviewer.
    Results: In total, 4,092 publications were reviewed. The USA led the list of countries with the most publications (1,226, 29.96%). Mayo Clinic contributed more publications than any other institution (193, 4.71%). MAGNUS SIMREN stood out as the most active and impactful scholar with the highest number of publications and the greatest betweenness centrality value. The most high-yield journal in this field was Neurogastroenterology and motility: the official journal of the European Gastrointestinal Motility Society (275, 6.72%). Gastroenterology had the most co-citations (3,721, 3.60%). Keywords with the ongoing strong citation bursts were chromogranin A, rat model, peptide YY, gut microbiota, and low-FODMAP diet, etc.
    Conclusion: Through bibliometric analysis, we gleaned deep insight into the current status of literature investigating IBS for the first time. These findings will be useful to scholars interested in understanding the key information in the field, as well as identifying possible research frontiers.

    The 100 Most-Cited and Influential Articles in Collegiate Athletics.
    Anna S Jenkins, Jordan R Pollock, M Lane Moore, Justin L Makovicka, Joseph C Brinkman, Anikar Chhabra.
       Background: Bibliometric citation analyses have been widely used in medicine to help researchers gain foundational knowledge about a topic and identify subtopics of popular interest for further investigations. There is a lack of similar research in collegiate athletics.
    Purpose: To identify the 100 most-cited research publications related to collegiate athletics.
    Study Design: Cross-sectional study.
    Methods: The Clarivate Analytics Web of Knowledge database was used to generate a list of articles relating to collegiate athletics on January 24, 2022. Articles were filtered by the total number of citations, and the 100 most-cited articles were selected. For each article, we identified and analyzed the following: author name, publication year, country of origin, journal name, article type, main research topic area, competitive level, sex of study population, and level of evidence.
    Results: Of the top 100 most-cited articles, 63 were related to medicine. In total, 96% of articles were published in the United States, and 80% were published in the year 2000 or later. Of the top 100 articles, 85 were observational; only 5 were experimental. The sport most represented was soccer, followed by football, baseball, and basketball. Of the top 100 articles, 21 were published in a single journal, the American Journal of Sports Medicine. Ten authors published ≥5 of the top 100 most-cited studies.
    Conclusion: The majority of top 100 articles were published in the United States after 1999 and primarily focused on medicine-related topics. Soccer was studied by more articles than football, baseball, and basketball. An author's prestige may have influenced the likelihood of citation. The top 100 most-cited studies provide researchers, medical students, residents, and fellows with a foundational list of the most important and influential academic contributions to the literature on collegiate athletics.

    Ruizhi He, Taoyuan Yin, Shutao Pan, Min Wang, Hang Zhang, Renyi Qin.
       BACKGROUND: In light of the challenges associated with pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and recent key improvements, this bibliometric analysis aimed to analyze the 100 top-cited (T100) articles related to PD surgery to widen the awareness of relevant research on this procedure.
    METHODS: The term "pancreaticoduodenectomy" was used to retrieve articles from the Web of Science Core Collection database. The 100 most cited manuscripts in the English language were identified and further analyzed by their countries of origin, publication journals, authors, and themes.
    RESULTS: A thorough literature search was performed on the Web of Science until April 2020. The total number of citations for the T100 articles ranged from 227 to 3029. The T100 articles came from 18 different countries, with the USA accounting for the plurality (n = 72). Professor J.L. Cameron from Johns Hopkins Medicine USA published the most articles (n = 22), including one as the first author and two as a co-author. Furthermore, Johns Hopkins Medicine, USA, published the most articles on PD surgery (n = 24), with a total citation count of 14,151. The journal Annals of Surgery published 40 of the T100 articles, with 15,847 citations and an average citation count of 396. Among the T100 articles, the citation frequency following the year of publication showed a parabolic trend, with citations peaking in the 9th year following publication.
    CONCLUSION: Our study identified and analyzed the T100 articles in PD surgery. The USA was the dominant country regarding articles, researchers, and institutions. The citations of the articles peaked in the 9th year after publication.

    Zhanyun Zhu, Xiuya Yao, Yaling Qin, Zhiyong Lu, Qinglin Ma, Xi Zhao, Liu Liu.
      As non-renewable cultural heritage, wall paintings play an important role in society. To reveal the trends in the scientific analysis of mural paintings, 845 relevant research articles published from 2011 to 2021 were collected from the Web of Science database and analyzed. The VOSviewer software was adopted to map the network data of scientific publications, so that relationships among authors, countries, institutions can be displayed, and the co-occurrence of keywords and co-citation can be analyzed. The results revealed close and strong interconnections between the top authors, suggesting a considerable strong research link in this field. The cooperation between research institutions was relatively close. The most productive country of relevant publications was Italy. The leading journals for the scientific analysis of wall paintings were Journal of Raman Spectroscopy and Journal of Cultural Heritage. At present, the hotspots of scientific analysis and research on wall painting are revealing the composition, distribution, origin, and deterioration mechanism of pigments, alongside with evaluating the effects and mechanism of conservation materials and techniques. On the one hand, a possible development direction in this field is introducing more cutting-edge analysis and data processing methods. On the other hand, scientific analysis is increasingly adopted to guide the research and development of mural conservation materials.

This study aims to introduce the research status, analyze the research hotspots, and predict the development trend through bibliometric analysis of MSC-EVs. Methods: We searched all relevant literature on MSC-EVs from 2009 to 2021 in the Web of Science. R-bibliometrix, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace software were used to visualize the quantitative analysis of the published literature, including co-authorship, co-occurrence, citation, and co-citation, to provide objective presentation and predictions in the field. Results: A total of 1595 articles and reviews on MSC-EVs published between 2009 and 2021 were identified. The annual publication outputs increased at an exponential rate, reaching as high as 555 publications in 2021. China contributed the most publications (n = 899, 56.36%) and had the most citations (n = 24,210). The United States had the strongest intensity of cooperation in this field. Shanghai Jiao Tong University had the maximum number of publications (n = 79). In terms of the number of publications and co-citations, the journal of Stem cell research & therapy ranked first. Camussi G was the most productive and most cited author. The top three themes in the research area were cell biology, research experimental medicine, and biochemistry molecular biology. Keyword co-occurrence and co-citation clustering analysis revealed that studies of MSC-EVs covered cellular origin (bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell, adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell), injurious diseases (spinal cord injury, acute lung injury, ischemia/reperfusion injury, acute kidney injury, traumatic brain injury), tumor (breast cancer, tumor microenvironment), biological processes (drug delivery system, angiogenesis, inflammation, proliferation, differentiation, senescence), and molecular mechanisms (signaling pathway, signal transduction, oxidative stress, VEGF, TGF β). Conclusions: Studies on MSC-EVs have shown a steep growth trend in recent years. Available studies mostly focused on the therapeutic effects and underlying mechanisms of MSC-EVs in aplastic diseases. Multidisciplinary integration is a development trend in this field, and senescence-related topics might be the focus of future research on MSC-EVs.

    A bibliometrics analysis and visualization of osteoimmunology on osteoarthritis studies.
    Bo Lu, Zhenteng Liu, Fanlin Kong, Hepeng An, Xueling Hou, Guofeng Fan, Wei Dong.
       BACKGROUND: Osteoarthritis (OA), the most prevalent form of arthritis, which affects up to 15% of the adult population. The work presented in this paper focuses on the analysis of the publications on osteoimmunology of OA. The purpose of this paper is to provide inspiration for future research on osteoimmunology of OA.
    METHODS: We extracted all of the English publications relevant to osteoimmunology of OA published from 1991-2020 from the Web of Science. SPSS, GraphPad Prism, Citespace, and VOSviewer were utilized to collect and analyze the publication trends in osteoimmunology of OA.
    RESULTS: We identified a total number of 1,004 publications with a total number of citations of 35,675 by October 31, 2020. Most publications came from China (26.8%). The United States ranked second, but its average number of citations and H index ranked best (10,130 citations and 55 H-index). Shandong University is the main center of institutional cooperation. Most papers related to osteoimmunology of OA were published in the journal of Osteoarthritis and Cartilage. In this field, TAK PP published the most papers (15), while Kotake, S's article was cited the most frequently (1,195). As presented in Figure 6, the 70 keywords, defined as terms that appeared more than 50 times in all papers, were classified into four clusters molecular research, human research, animal research and cell research. Research on cytokines and pathways is the new trend in Molecular research.
    CONCLUSION: The current status and global trend of osteoimmunology of OA revealed by this study indicates that there is a strong possibility that the number of papers will increase in the coming year, and the research on cytokines as well as pathways would be the next hot topic.

    Association between women's authorship and women's editorship in infectious diseases journals: a cross-sectional study.
    Katharina Last, Lilith Hübsch, Muge Cevik, Martin Wolkewitz, Sophie Elisabeth Müller, Angela Huttner, Cihan Papan.
       BACKGROUND: Gender inequity is still pervasive in academic medicine, including journal publishing. We aimed to ascertain the proportion of women among first and last authors and editors in infectious diseases journals and assess the association between women's editorship and women's authorship while controlling for a journal's impact factor.
    METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, we randomly selected 40 infectious diseases journals (ten from each 2020 impact factor quartile), 20 obstetrics and gynaecology journals (five from each 2020 impact factor quartile), and 20 cardiology journals (five from each 2020 impact factor quartile) that were indexed in Journal Citation Reports, had an impact factor, had retrievable first and last author names, and had the name of more than one editor listed. We retrieved the names of the first and last authors of all citable articles published by the journals in 2018 and 2019 that counted towards their 2020 impact factor and collected the names of all the journals' editors-in-chief, deputy editors, section editors, and associate editors for the years 2018 and 2019. We used genderize.io to predict the gender of each first author, last author, and editor. The outcomes of interest were the proportions of women first authors and women last authors. We assessed the association between women's editorship and women's authorship by fitting quasi-Poisson regression models comprising the variables: the proportion of women last authors or women first authors; the proportion of women editors; the presence of a woman editor-in-chief; and journal 2020 impact factor.
    FINDINGS: We found 11 027 citable infectious diseases articles, of which 167 (1·5%) had an indeterminable first author gender, 155 (1·4%) had an indeterminable last author gender, and seven (0·1%) had no authors indexed. 5350 (49·3%) of 10 853 first authors whose gender could be determined were predicted to be women and 5503 (50·7%) were predicted to be men. Women accounted for 3788 (34·9%) of 10 865 last authors whose gender could be determined and men accounted for 7077 (65·1%). Of 577 infectious diseases journal editors, 190 (32·9%) were predicted to be women and 387 (67·1%) were predicted to be men. Of the 40 infectious diseases journals, 13 (32·5%) had a woman as editor-in-chief. For infectious diseases journals, the proportion of women editors had a significant effect on women's first authorship (incidence rate ratio 1·32, 95% CI 1·06-1·63; p=0·012) and women's last authorship (1·92, 1·45-2·55; p<0·0001). The presence of a woman editor-in-chief, the proportion of women last or first authors, and the journal's impact factor exerted no effect in these analyses.
    INTERPRETATION: The proportion of women editors appears to influence the proportion of women last and first authors in the analysed infectious diseases journals. These findings might help to explain gender disparities observed in publishing in academic medicine and suggest a need for revised policies towards increasing women's representation among editors.

    The role of case studies in recent paleopathological literature: An argument for continuing relevance.
    Alexis T Boutin, C Midori Longo, Rosemary Lehnhard.
       OBJECTIVE: To critically examine the role that case studies play in recent paleopathological literature, by evaluating their frequency of publication, academic impact, and the public engagement they generate.
    MATERIALS: Articles published in International Journal of Paleopathology between 2011 and 2018 (N = 377).
    METHODS: Articles were coded as case studies, population studies, methodological studies, or reviews. Case studies were coded as cultural practices, differential diagnosis, historical, or methodological/theoretical. We utilized bibliometric analysis to assess academic impact and altmetric analysis to evaluate public engagement.
    RESULTS: Case studies continue to be the most frequently published, but least frequently cited, article type. There are no significant differences in public engagement data between article types. Methodological/theoretical case studies have the most academic impact. Differential diagnosis case studies have the least academic impact and generate the least public engagement.
    CONCLUSIONS: The case study genre includes a variety of approaches, some of which hold significant potential for contributing to the discipline of paleopathology and beyond.
    SIGNIFICANCE: This study updates Mays' (2012b) citation analysis, pioneers the use of altmetric data to analyze public engagement with paleopathological publications, and identifies less productive approaches and areas of heightened relevance in the case study genre.
    LIMITATIONS: Publications in only one journal were analyzed. Only one source was utilized for citation data (Google Scholar) and one source for altmetric data (PlumX).
    SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE RESEARCH: Expanding the granular analysis of case studies piloted here to additional journals and/or citation indexes to enlarge the sample size and provide keener insights.

    Traditional Chinese Exercise for Neurodegenerative Diseases: A Bibliometric and Visualized Analysis With Future Directions.
    Buchan Jiang, Chengyao Feng, Huiling Hu, Daniel George, Tianlong Huang, Zhihong Li.
       Background: Traditional Chinese Exercise (TCE) has expanded out of China into the world and is frequently used in the prevention and treatment of many diseases. Although many studies have explored the ability of TCE as an intervention for neurodegenerative diseases, there are limited articles summarizing the research. The aim of this study was to investigate current research trends around TCE for neurodegenerative diseases and predict future directions for such research.
    Materials and Methods: Data was collected from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). All articles and reviews on TCE in relation to neurodegenerative diseases were retrieved. The data analysis was performed using the CiteSpace (5.8R3) software, and the results were displayed in network maps.
    Results: The search identified 220 publications between 1999 and 2021. The United States was the most productive country (n = 89), followed by China (n = 68). The United States had the greatest centrality, indicating its tremendous global influence and close collaborations with other countries. Fuzhong Li from the Oregon Research Institute, United States, was not only the most prolific author (n = 5), but also the most co-cited author (n = 120). The Shanghai University of Sport contributed to the most publications (n = 12). PLOS ONE was the most published journal, while Movement Disorders was the most cited journal. Tai Chi, Parkinson's disease, quality of life, balance, and older adult were the most high-frequency keywords, while Alzheimer's disease had the highest centrality.
    Conclusion: The number of publications on TCE related to neurodegenerative diseases has shown major growth in the past decade. However, there is a need for research institutions to strengthen cooperation between countries and institutions. Tai Chi, Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's disease, older adults and falls reduction have been the recent research focus. It is anticipated that in the future, PD will continue to be a central focus with the effects of Baduanjin, Wuqinxi, and Yijinjing requiring further research.

    Bibliometric and Visualized Analysis of Tissue Engineering for Cartilage Repair and Regeneration Over the Past Decade.
    Yanyan Cao, Peng Cheng, Qianqian Duan, Pengcui Li, Chuan Xiang, Shengbo Sang.
       Background: Tremendous progress has been made in the field of cartilage repair and regeneration, particularly with tissue-engineering approaches. This study aims to estimate the global status and current trends in the field of cartilage tissue engineering.
    Methods: Publications from 2011 to 2020 on tissue engineering for cartilage repair and regeneration were retrieved from Web of Science Core Collection database. The source data were statistically evaluated based on the bibliometrics. In terms of visualized analysis, some bibliometric indicators such as bibliographic coupling, co-citation, co-authorship and co-occurrence analysis were performed by VOSviewer software, to investigate the research trends in tissue engineering for cartilage repair and regeneration.
    Results: In total, 3715 papers were included. Since 2011, the amount of issued papers and relative research interest (RRI) have grown by leaps and bounds globally. The United States was the biggest contributor to the research in this field, due to the greatest citation frequency, the highest H index and the strongest total link strength. Romania had the highest average citation for each. The journal Tissue Engineering Part A published most articles in this field. For institutions, the largest contributors were Shanghai Jiaotong University, University of California System and Sichuan University. Studies could all be grouped into four main clusters: study of biomaterial scaffolds, study of seeding cells and growth factors, experimental animal model and clinical study, and mechanism research.
    Conclusion: Great efforts should be put into the study of biomaterial scaffolds, seeding cells and growth factors, considered to be the next hot topics in cartilage tissue engineering. This findings provide collaborative insights and research orientation for academic researchers, surgeons and healthcare practitioners to a certain extent.

    Analysis of Trending Topics in Breast Cancer Articles From an Altmetric Perspective.
    Bahattin Bayar, Rıfat Peksöz.
      Background It is widely known that social media has an impact on politics and the economy. The Altmetric Attention Score (AAS) is a new Web-based metric that was recently developed for use in the scientific field. The objective of this study was to assess which recent studies on the topic of breast cancer received the most attention from the general public. Methodology An Altmetric Explorer search was performed on January 7, 2022, to extract the following information: journal name, impact factor (IF), year of publication, article topic, article type, and level of evidence. Results The journal that published articles that received the most attention on social media was the New England Journal of Medicine (n = 8). All of the articles were published in journals in the highest IF quartile. The most frequent top three subjects in the top 50 articles were "treatment and management," "risk factors for breast cancer," and "breast cancer screening." The number of articles with a level of evidence of 1, 2, 3, and 4 was 12, 17, 17, and 4, respectively. The correlation between AAS and citation was not significant. Conclusions The AAS seems to be a more reliable assessment of public perception of breast cancer. We propose that combining the AAS and traditional metrics may provide a more detailed description of scientific research output.

    Omid Faraji, Mostafa Ezadpour, Alireza Rahrovi Dastjerdi, Ehsan Dolatzarei.
      The present research aims to examine the conceptual structure of balanced scorecard (BSC) research from its inception (1992) to the end of 2020. After a review of the BSC literature, co-word analysis and social network analysis are used to analyze the data. The results show that 3742 documents have been published between 1992 and 2020 with 2638 distinctive keywords. The most frequently used keywords are "Balanced Scorecard", "Management", "Performance", "Framework" and "Strategy". Moreover, the article "The Balanced Scorecard: Measures That Drive Performance" with 4253 citations, was the most frequently cited article and "Robert Kaplan" with 16 documents and 8063 citations was the top author in terms of citation count and the number of documents. The United States is the top country with 486 documents and 18,805 citations. In addition, the journal "Total Quality Management and Business Excellence" is the most prolific journal with 50 articles, and the journal "Harvard Business Review" with 7778 citations, is the top journal in the number of citations. "Islamic Azad University of Iran" is the top university in the world with 57 documents. The most common keyword in Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and Oceania is "Balanced Scorecard". The results of this study provide an overview of the state of BSC literature and can enable researchers to identify and develop ideas for future research.

    A Bibliometric Analysis of the Association Between Compassion Fatigue and Psychological Resilience From 2008 to 2021.
    Li-Juan Yi, Yi Liu, Ling Tang, Liang Cheng, Guo-Hao Wang, Su-Wen Hu, Xiao-Ling Liu, Xu Tian, Maria F Jiménez-Herrera.
       Aims: A negative association between the lower level of psychological resilience (PR) and increased risk of compassion fatigue (CF) and higher Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) stress has been revealed. However, bibliometric studies have not been performed to comprehensively investigate this topic. This study aimed to identify the status and trends in the CF and PR field from 2008 to 2021 and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Methods: We identified relevant literature from the Web of Science Core Collection® database using "resilience" and "compassion fatigue" on September 30, 2021. All search results were exported in plain text format for collaboration network analysis, reference-based co-citation analysis, analysis of journals, and keywords-based co-occurrence analysis, which were performed using Citespace® 5.8.R1.
    Results: A total of 388 publications were identified finally, and there has been an increasing trend in the annual number of publications with light fluctuations. The analysis of journals and keywords indicated that nurses and social workers are the main research targets, and their mental problems are the main research topics. The turnover intention of health care providers has been a research focus, particularly during the COVID-19.
    Conclusion: The results of the present study help us understand the status of the CF and PR field and its recent developments.

    The state of the catatonia literature: Employing bibliometric analysis of articles from 1965-2020 to identify current research gaps.
    Jeremy Weleff, Brian S Barnett, Deborah Y Park, Teddy J Akiki, Awais Aftab.
       INTRODUCTION: Since Kahlbaum's classic 19th-century description of catatonia our conceptualization of this syndrome, as well treatment options for it, have advanced considerably. However, little is known about the current state of the catatonia literature since a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of it has not yet been undertaken.
    OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to conduct a bibliometric analysis, along with a content analysis of articles reporting new findings, to better understand the catatonia literature and how catatonia research is changing.
    METHODS: Using the search term "Title(catatoni*)" in Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection for all available years (1965-2020), all available publications (articles, proceeding papers, reviews) pertaining directly to catatonia were identified, and metadata extracted. Semantic and co-authorship network analyses were conducted. A content analysis was also conducted on all available case reports, case series, and research articles written in English.
    RESULTS: 1,015 articles were identified representing 2,861 authors, 346 journals, and 15,639 references. Average publications per year over the last twenty years (31.3) more than doubled in comparison to the twenty years prior (12.8). The top three most common journals were Psychosomatics/Journal of the Academy of Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry, Journal of ECT, and Schizophrenia Research, which represented 12.6% of all publications. Content analysis revealed that catatonia articles are increasingly published in non-psychiatric journals. There was a notable paucity of clinical trials throughout the study period. Since 2003, articles on catatonia secondary to a general medical condition, as well as articles including child/adolescent patients and patients with autism spectrum disorder or intellectual disability, have made up increasing shares of the literature, with a smaller proportion of articles reporting periodic or recurrent catatonia. We noted decreased in the proportion of articles detailing animal/in vitro studies, genetic/heredity studies, and clinical trials, along with stagnation in the proportion of neuroimaging studies.
    CONCLUSION: The catatonia literature is growing through contributions from authors and institutions across multiple countries. However, recent growth has largely been driven by increased case reports, with significant downturns observed in both clinical and basic science research articles. A dearth of clinical trials evaluating potential treatments remains a critical gap in the catatonia literature.

    Research status of serum amyloid A in infection: a bibliometric analysis.
    Meng Su, Lei Zhang.
       BACKGROUND: Infectious diseases have a significant impact on health. Identifying the pathogenic kind of an infection has important implications for the clinical selection of therapy. Serum amyloid A has been found to have significant changes in expression levels upon infection. The purpose of the present study was to analyze the current status of research on the use of serum amyloid A in infection using a bibliometric approach.
    METHODS: The Science Citation Index Expanded database in the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) was used as the data source for our search. All search records and cited references were exported in plain text format to form source files for further analysis. Cytoscape software was then used to analyze the source files and generate corresponding visualization graphs.
    RESULTS: A total of 1,359 relevant research papers were searched, with a total of 56,607 citations. Core journals included PLoS One, Frontiers in Immunology, and Developmental and Comparative Immunology. The main research countries in this field were the USA, UK, and Denmark. The most cited scholars included JJ Ceron from Spain and MB Pepys from the UK.
    CONCLUSIONS: There is a limited number of studies on serum amyloid A in infection. More international cooperation and in-depth research are needed.

    Global Trends of Stem Cell Precision Medicine Research (2018-2022): A Bibliometric Analysis.
    Muge Liu, Fan Yang, Yingbin Xu.
       Background: Stem cells are a group of cells that can self-renew and have multiple differentiation capabilities. Shinya Yamanaka first discovered a method to convert somatic cells into pluripotent stem cells in 2006. Stem cell therapy can be summarized into three aspects (regenerative treatment, therapy targeted at stem cells, and establishment of disease models). Disease models are mainly established by induced pluripotent stem cells, and the research of stem cell precision medicine has been promising in recent years. Based on the construction of 3D, patient-specific disease models from pluripotent induced stem cells, proper research on disease development and treatment prognosis can be realized. Bibliometric analysis is an efficient way to quickly understand global trends and hotspots in this field.
    Methods: A literature search of stem cell precision medicine research from 2018 to 2022 was carried out using the Web of Science Core Collection.VOSviewer, R-bibliometrix, and CiteSpace software programs were employed to perform the bibliometric analysis.
    Results: A total of 552 publications were retrieved from 2018 to 2022. Annual publication outputs trended upward and reached a peak of 172 in 2021. The United States contributed the most publications (160, 29.0%) to the field, followed by China (63, 11.4%) and Italy (60, 10.9%). International academic collaborations were active. CANCERS was considered the most productive journal with 18 documents. NATURE was the most co-cited journal with 1860 times citations. The most cited document was entitled "Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells for Cardiovascular Disease Modeling and Precision Medicine: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association" with 9 times local citations. " precision medicine" (n = 89, 12.64%), "personalized medicine" (n = 72, 10.23%), "stem cells" (n = 43, 4.40%), and "induced pluripotent stem cells" (n = 41, 5.82%), "cancer stem cells" (n = 31, 4%), "organoids" (n = 26, 3.69%) were the top 6 frequent keywords.
    Conclusion: The present study performs a comprehensive investigation concerning stem cell precision medicine (2018-2022) for the first time. This research field is developing, and a deeper exploration of 3D patient-specific organoid disease models is worth more research in the future.

    Online mathematics education as bio-eco-techno process: bibliometric analysis using co-authorship and bibliographic coupling.
    Toshiyuki Hasumi, Mei-Shiu Chiu.
      Under the COVID-19 pandemic, mathematics education has moved completely online. To tackle this new norm based on bio-eco-techno theories, this study aims to provide educators an overview of the research landscape for envisioning educational practices through bibliometric analysis of 319 articles and reviews published in peer-reviewed journals from 1993 to 2020. Country and institutional co-authorship depicts the social network structure of the field to identify top productive contributors. Bibliographic coupling of publications forms the conceptual structure, revealing research themes. Together, the results are mapped according to the bio-eco-techno perspective. The bioecological system highlights student achievement as the central concerns. The microsystem emphasizes techno-subsystems for supporting flipped learning. The exosystem and mesosystem require institution support for teacher pedagogical design, digital competencies, and collaboration. The macrosystem raises the issue of distribution or centralization in the strengths of online mathematics education and calls for greater cross-national boundary digital use and collaboration. The chronosystem asks: Does Covid-19 force the popularity of blended or flipped learning into online education? Based on the bio-eco-techno perspective, further recommendations are provided.

    Mapping the research landscape of Covid-19 from social sciences perspective: a bibliometric analysis.
    Koel Roychowdhury, Radhika Bhanja, Sushmita Biswas.
      COVID-19 has emerged as a widely researched topic and the academia has taken interest in the effects of COVID-19 in various sectors of human life and society. Most of the bibliometric research addresses scientific contributions in medicine, health, and virology related topics, with very little emphasis on social sciences. Therefore, to address this gap, a bibliometric analysis of research related to COVID-19 in the subject area of social sciences was performed on selected publications from January 2020 to mid-2021. A total of 9289 articles were analysed to identify major emerging themes of Covid-19 and social sciences and how research collaborations between countries have helped in communicating critical issues to academia. The empirical results indicate the dominance of psychology and business economics subjects in the social sciences sphere, with the emerging themes as psychosocial problems among people, economics, the outbreak of SARS, and discussions on the quality of life in terms of surroundings and environment. The study also suggests that more collaborations between social scientists working in different nations is required to explore the less focussed themes addressing the local challenges of poor nations.

    Women occupying preferential authorship positions for articles in the journal Emergencias: an analysis of authorship during the last decade.
    Julia González, Daniel Hernández-Vaquero, Aida T Igareta-Herraiz, Rocío Díaz, Virginia Domínguez-González, Alberto Domínguez-Rodríguez.
       OBJECTIVES: To analyze gender disparity in scientific productivity reflected by the authorship of articles in the journal Emergencias over the past decade.
    MATERIAL AND METHODS: Retrospective longitudinal study. We included articles in all issues published between January 2011 and December 2020, analyzing the number of authors, their gender, article type, year of publication, and preferential authorship credit (first author, corresponding author, and last author positioning). The percentages of women named in each position were calculated, and the trend over time was analyzed.
    RESULTS: A total of 1240 articles signed by 5213 authors were collected; a woman was named in 1889 of the cases (36.2%). A woman was the first author of 384 articles (31%), the corresponding author of 352 (28.4%), and the last author of 358 (28.9%). The number of female authors of original research articles or meta-analyses tended to increase over time (P = .047), but no statistically significant gender trends were observed in the authorship of editorials, narrative reviews, scientific letters or short communications, letters to the editor, or any other publication category.
    CONCLUSION: The publication of articles by women in Emergencias has increased over the past decade. However, women continue to author fewer articles than men.

    Anwaar Baobeid, Tara Faghani-Hamadani, Sara Sauer, Yap Boum, Bethany L Hedt-Gauthier, Nicholas Neufeld, Jackline Odhiambo, Jimmy Volmink, Miriam Shuchman, Erica Di Ruggiero, Jeanine U Condo.
       INTRODUCTION: Women researchers find it more difficult to publish in academic journals than men, an inequity that affects women's careers and was exacerbated during the pandemic, particularly for women in low-income and middle-income countries. We measured publishing by sub-Saharan African (SSA) women in prestigious authorship positions (first or last author, or single author) during the time frame 2014-2016. We also examined policies and practices at journals publishing high rates of women scientists from sub-Saharan Africa, to identify potential structural enablers affecting these women in publishing.
    METHODS: The study used Namsor V.2, an application programming interface, to conduct a secondary analysis of a bibliometric database. We also analysed policies and practices of ten journals with the highest number of SSA women publishing in first authorship positions.
    RESULTS: Based on regional analyses, the greatest magnitude of authorship inequity is in papers from sub-Saharan Africa, where men comprised 61% of first authors, 65% of last authors and 66% of single authors. Women from South Africa and Nigeria had greater success in publishing than those from other SSA countries, though women represented at least 20% of last authors in 25 SSA countries. The journals that published the most SSA women as prominent authors are journals based in SSA. Journals with overwhelmingly male leadership are also among those publishing the highest number of SSA women.
    CONCLUSION: Women scholars in SSA face substantial gender inequities in publishing in prestigious authorship positions in academic journals, though there is a cadre of women research leaders across the region. Journals in SSA are important for local women scholars and the inequities SSA women researchers face are not necessarily attributable to gender discrepancy in journals' editorial leadership.

    Using bibliometrics to evaluate outcomes and influence of translational biomedical research centers.
    Kristine M Bragg, Gwen C Marchand, Jonathan C Hilpert, Jeffrey L Cummings.
       Introduction: Federal grant funding to support infrastructure development of translational biomedical research centers is a form of public health intervention. Establishing rigorous methods for measuring center success and outcomes is essential to justify continued funding.
    Methods: Bibliometric data compiled from a 5-year funding cycle of neurodegeneration and translational neuroscience research center were analyzed using the package bibliometrix for open-source software R and the NIH-developed research tool iCite.
    Results: The research team and their collaborators (n = 485) produced 157 grant-citing publications from 2015-2020. The science was produced by small research teams clustered around three main communities of topics: Alzheimer's Disease, brain imaging, and neuropsychological testing in the elderly. Using the relative citation ratio, the publications produced by the research team were found to be influential when compared to other R01-funded publications.
    Conclusion: Recent developments in bibliometric analysis expand beyond traditional measurement capabilities to better understand the characteristics, outcomes, and influences of research teams. These findings can be used to inform researchers and institutions about research team composition, productivity, and success. Measures of research influence may be used to justify return on investment to funders.

    International rankings of Diabetes and Metabolic diseases related journals in comparison to other medical journals from India.
    Raju Vaishya, Anoop Misra.
       BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Scientific publications from India and Asiatic countries are on rising in the last decade. We have attempted to analyze the growth (over the last 3 years) of various important journals being published from India in various medical fields, especially in the specialty of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism.
    METHODS: We used the database of SCOPUS, SCIMAGO, and Academic Accelerator to derive the required statistical information from various Indian journals, till 9th June 2022.
    RESULTS: There are only a very few medical journals from India in Quartile 1(first 25% of all journals), namely Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome: Clinical Research and Reviews (DMSCRR), Hepatology International, and the Indian Journal of Medical Research (IJMR). DMSCRR stands at #1 in Diabetes and Metabolic disease-related journals among all the medical journals from India. All metrics of DMSCRR have majorly increased over the last three years; its CiteScore has almost quadrupled, the h-index is doubled, and the number of citations received has quadrupled. The DMSCRR is now ranked globally at #23/227 (90th percentile) amongst all Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolic journals. In the recently announced metrics by SCOPUS in June 2022, the DMSCRR has ranked as the #1 journal in Asiatic countries.
    CONCLUSION: Some Indian journals have increased their rankings in 2021 and among them, the Diabetes Metabolic Syndrome: Clinical Research & Reviews has now become the highest-ranked medical journal in India, not only in the field of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism but also in all the medical specialties.

    Glass Ceiling in Hand Surgery: Publication Trends by Gender.
    Joshua T Bram, Lacey C Magee, Andrew Parambath, Andrea S Bauer, Ericka A Lawler, Patricia E Miller, Apurva S Shah.
       Background: Women are frequently underrepresented across surgical subspecialties and may face barriers to academic advancement. Abstracts presented at American Society for Surgery of the Hand annual meeting (ASSH-AM) highlight some of the top research in hand surgery. We sought to explore differences in abstract characteristics and publication rates based on senior author gender.Though there have been increasing efforts at inclusivity in orthopedic and plastic surgery, women face several barriers to entering the field, publish less frequently, and are underrepresented in leadership positions. Understanding the stages at which discrepancies in research productivity exist may help to address these challenges.
    Methods: Abstracts from the 2010-2017 ASSH-AMs were reviewed to determine basic characteristics. Author gender was determined through both a search of institutional websites for gender-specific pronouns and inference of gender based on first name. Subsequent full manuscript publications corresponding to the abstracts were identified through a systematic search of PubMed and Google Scholar.
    Results: A total of 560/620 (90.3%) abstracts from 2010-2017 had an identifiable senior author gender (14.5% female). No differences were noted between male- and female-authored abstracts regarding study design including sample size or level of evidence. Female senior authors were more likely than males to author abstracts focused on pediatrics (19.8% vs 9.4%, p=0.01) and were more likely to collaborate with female first authors (41.3% vs 20.0%, p<0.01). Abstract publication rates were lower for female senior authors versus male senior authors (61.7% vs 74.5%, p=0.02).
    Conclusion: The number of abstracts with female senior authors had similar representation to the membership proportion of women in the ASSH. There were few differences in abstract characteristics based on senior author gender, though senior authors tend to collaborate with investigators of the same gender. Abstracts authored by females were published 13% less frequently overall, meriting further exploration. Level of Evidence: III.

    The 50 Most Cited Papers Concerning Open Fractures.
    Paul R Allegra, Ramakanth R Yakkanti, Dylan N Greif, Sohil S Desai, Joseph S Geller, Amiethab Aiyer.
      The purpose of this study is to identify and evaluate the top 50 most cited papers regarding open fractures. The ISI Web of Knowledge database was used to conduct a search query during May 2020 for articles pertaining to open fractures. The query used multiple Boolean operative combinations. The Boolean operative combination that yielded the largest search result was: "open fracture" OR "compound fracture" OR "gustilo" or "gustilo anderson" or "tscherne" or "oestern". Articles were sorted from highest to lowest number of total citations. Articles were refined to include peer-reviewed original articles, review papers, or editorials. Articles were then screened by title and abstract to confirm they pertained to open fractures. This review provides an analysis of the most influential published literature and recent trends with regards to the treatment and management of open fractures. This data can assist physicians in their search for impactful literature. (Journal of Surgical Orthopaedic Advances 31(2):076-085, 2022).

    Leadership Roles, Academic Appointments, and Scholarly Activity-Does a Fellowship after Plastic Surgery Training Make a Difference?
    Adrienne N Christopher, Viren Patel, Joseph A Mellia, Martin P Morris, Fortunay Diatta, Alexander I Murphy, John P Fischer.
      Background  Fellowship training is becoming more popular in plastic surgery, with over half of residents pursuing advanced training. Here, we investigate how clinical and research fellowship training impacts career trajectory and scholastic achievement in academic plastic surgery. Methods  Plastic surgery faculty members, from programs recognized by the American Council of Academic Plastic Surgeons, were identified using institutional Web sites. Data extracted included faculty demographics, training history, academic positions, and research productivity. Continuous and categorical variables were compared using t -tests and chi-square, respectively. Results  In total, 949 faculty members were included, with 657 (69%) having completed fellowship training. Integrated program residents were more likely to complete a fellowship when compared with independent residents ( p  < 0.0001). Fellowship trained faculty were more likely to have graduated from a higher ranked residency program, in terms of both overall and research reputation ( p  = 0.005 and p  = 0.016, respectively). When controlling for years in practice, there was no difference found in number of publications, Hirsch index (h-index), or National Institutes of Health funding between faculty between the two cohorts ( p  > 0.05). In a subanalysis comparing hand, craniofacial, microsurgery, and research fellowships, those who completed a research fellowship had higher h-indices and were more likely to reach full professor status ( p  < 0.001 and p  = 0.001, respectively). Fellowship training had no effect on being promoted to Chief/Chair of departments ( p  = 0.16). Conclusion  Fellowship training is common among academic plastic surgeons. In this study, both clinical and research fellowships were associated with various aspects of academic success. However, fellowship training alone did not affect attainment of leadership positions.

    Research Hotspots and Effectiveness of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Pain: A Bibliometric Analysis.
    Chong Li, Mingyu Sun, Shiliu Tian.
      Transcranial magnetic stimulation, as a relatively new type of treatment, is a safe and non-invasive method for pain therapy. Here, we used CiteSpace software to visually analyze 440 studies concerning transcranial magnetic stimulation in pain research from 2010 to 2021, indexed by Web of Science, to clarify the research hotspots in different periods and characterize the process of discovery in this field. The United States ranked first in this field. Lefaucheur JP, Fregni F, and Andrade ACD made great contributions to this field of study. The most prolific institution was University of São Paulo. The four main hot keywords were neuropathic pain, motor cortex, connectivity, and non-invasive brain stimulation. There were three main points that were generally accepted: (1) definite analgesic effect of high-frequency rTMS of M1 contralateral to pain side in neuropathic pain; (2) there are inconclusive recommendations regarding rTMS of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in fibromyalgia and neuropathic pain; (3) there is low-quality evidence that single doses of high-frequency rTMS of the motor cortex may have short-term effects on chronic pain. This bibliometric analysis indicated that prospective, multi-center, large-sample, randomized controlled trials are still needed to further verify the effectiveness of various transcranial magnetic stimulation parameters in pain research.

    Research trends in biomedical applications of two-dimensional nanomaterials over the last decade - a bibliometric analysis.
    Shuang Zhu, Yaping Liu, Zhanjun Gu, Yuliang Zhao.
      Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials with versatile properties have been widely applied in the field of biomedicine. Despite various studies having reviewed the development of biomedical 2D nanomaterials, there is a lack of a study that objectively summarizes and analyzes the research trend of this important field. Here, we employ a series of bibliometric methods to identify the development of the 2D nanomaterial-related biomedical field during the past 10 years from a holistic point of view. First, the annual publication/citation growth, country/institute/author distribution, referenced sources, and research hotspots are identified. Thereafter, based on the objectively identified research hotspots, the contributions of 2D nanomaterials to the various biomedical subfields, including those of biosensing, imaging/therapy, antibacterial treatment, and tissue engineering are carefully explored, by considering the intrinsic properties of the nanomaterials. Finally, prospects and challenges have been discussed to shed light on the future development and clinical translation of 2D nanomaterials. This review provides a novel perspective to identify and further promote the development of 2D nanomaterials in biomedical research.

    Examining Knowledge Diffusion in the Circular Economy Domain: a Main Path Analysis.
    Abderahman Rejeb, Karim Rejeb, Suhaiza Zailani, Yasanur Kayikci, John G Keogh.
      The circular economy (CE) field has recently attracted significant interest from academics and practitioners. CE represents a departure from the linear economy, which is characterised by unsustainable resource production and consumption. The growing number of publications necessitates a comprehensive analysis of this field. This is the first systematic examination of the knowledge base and knowledge diffusion pathways in the CE domain. We analyse a Web of Science dataset containing 5431 articles published between 1970 and 2020. To create a comprehensive review of the CE domain, we conducted a keyword co-occurrence network analysis. We examined four distinct types of main paths using the main path analysis (MPA) technique: forward, backward, global, and key-route. According to the analyses, CE research focuses on six primary research themes: CE and sustainability, bioeconomy, CE practices, lifecycle assessment and industrial symbiosis, construction activities, and waste management. In addition, the MPA demonstrates that the CE literature has recently focused on Industry 4.0 technologies and their contribution to CE. This is the first attempt to depict the genealogy of CE research so that scholars can comprehend the domain's evolutionary structure, identify hot topics, and capture the history, development status, and potential future directions of CE research.

    Patient satisfaction with nursing care: A bibliometric and visualization analysis (1950-2021).
    Waleed M Sweileh.
       AIM: The current study aimed to provide an overview of research publications on patient satisfaction with nursing care.
    BACKGROUND: Research activity on patient satisfaction with nursing care is an indicator of the commitment of policymakers to improve the quality of health services.
    DESIGN: This was a descriptive cross-sectional bibliometric study.
    METHODS: The Scopus database was used to retrieve relevant documents for the period from 1950 to 31 December 2021. The keywords 'patient satisfaction' and 'nursing care' were used in the search strategy. Two volunteers validated the search strategy.
    RESULTS: The search strategy found 387 documents authored by 1470 researchers and disseminated through 241 journals. Research on patient satisfaction with nursing care (a) has experienced a steep growth over the last decade; (b) was mainly published by scholars from a limited number of countries; (c) has limited cross-country collaboration and limited author collaboration; (d) has addressed research topics concerning the quality of care, instrument validation, emergency department and hospital care and (e) has shown the highest readability for topics related to nurses' burnout and patient satisfaction.
    CONCLUSION: Researchers and educators, especially in low- and middle-income countries, need to focus on this field to support activities to upgrade health services and patient outcomes.

    Industry support for dental implant research: A metatrend study of industry partnership in the development of new technologies.
    Marta M A Pereira, Caroline Dini, João G S Souza, Valentim A R Barão, Erica D de Avila.
       STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Industry needs scientific knowledge to develop new products and services, and their financial support to dental implant researchers translates into commercial products. Therefore, identifying the relevant factors for a successful industry partnership is important.
    PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to provide a 20-year bibliometric overview of industry-sponsored studies in implant dentistry to identify possible factors involved in industry partnership motivations.
    MATERIAL AND METHODS: A hand search of 6 of the most established journals in the implant dentistry field was performed for articles published in 1999, 2004, 2009, 2014, and 2019. Information regarding the continent of origin of the corresponding author, interinstitute collaboration, type and topic of research, and the h-index of the corresponding author was recorded for each included article. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression was used to determine statistical relationship between industry support and exploratory factors (α=.05).
    RESULTS: A 6% increase in the chance of industry investment was observed over the years (odds ratio [OD]=1.06; P<.001). Studies from North America (OD=4.87; P<.001) and Europe (OD=3.13; P<.001) were more likely to receive industry funding. Data also revealed a direct relationship between the increasing number of institutions involved in the study and the probability of industry funding (OD=1.21; P<.001). Animal studies (OD=2.26; P<.001) about surgical procedures and prosthodontic topics (OD=1.40; P=.044) stood out for having greater industry support. Researchers with an h-index between 31 and 40 were more likely to receive industry financial support (OD=2.46; P=.001).
    CONCLUSIONS: Industry support for dental implant research was closely aligned with the continent of origin, interinstitute collaboration, type and topic of research, and the h-index of the corresponding author.

    Global research trends in cardiac arrest research: a visual analysis of the literature based on CiteSpace.
    Shi-Jiao Yan, Mei Chen, Jing Wen, Wen-Ning Fu, Xing-Yue Song, Huan-Jun Chen, Ri-Xing Wang, Mei-Ling Chen, Xiao-Tong Han, Chuan-Zhu Lyu.
       BACKGROUND: The high morbidity, high mortality and low survival rate of cardiac arrest (CA) cause a heavy global burden. We aimed to analyze the changes in scientific output related to CA over the past two decades.
    METHODS: We analyzed the scientific output related to CA from 2000 to 2020 via the Web of Science. The data were analyzed using CiteSpace software.
    RESULTS: In total, 28,312 articles relating to CA were identified in the Web of Science. The volume of scientific research output in the field of global CA research was mainly distributed in the Americas, Europe and Asia, covering a wide range. Of the 28,312 articles, the research content of the highly cited literature mainly focused on CA, mild hypothermia treatment, and prognosis of CA patients.
    CONCLUSION: Various scientific methods were applied to reveal scientific productivity, collaboration, and research hotspots in the CA research field. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), survival and target temperature management are research hotspots. Future research on CA will continue to focus on its treatment and prognosis to improve the survival rate of CA patients.

    Diminishing Basic Science Research Experience Among United States Cardiothoracic Surgery Trainees.
    Hanjay Wang, Simar S Bajaj, Keerthi Manjunatha, Maggie M Yu, Oluwatomisin O Obafemi, Kiah M Williams, Jack H Boyd.
       INTRODUCTION: There is growing concern regarding the attrition of surgeon-scientists. To understand the decline of basic science research (BSR), it is essential to examine trends in research conducted by trainees. We hypothesized that, over recent decades, cardiothoracic (CT) surgery trainees have published fewer BSR articles.
    MATERIALS AND METHODS: CT surgeons at United States training institutions in 2020 who completed training in the past three decades, excluding international trainees, were analyzed (1991-2000: n = 148; 2001-2010: n = 228; 2011-2020: n = 247). Publication records were obtained from Scopus. Articles with medical subject heading terms involving molecular/cellular or animal research were classified as BSR using the National Institutes of Health iCite Translation module. Data were analyzed using Fisher's exact test or the Wilcoxon rank-sum test.
    RESULTS: While the proportion of surgeons who published a first-author paper during training remained stable over the past two decades (178/228 [78.1%] versus 189/247 [76.5%], P = 0.7427), the proportion who published a first-author BSR paper decreased significantly (135/228 [59.2%] versus 96/247 [38.9%], P < 0.0001). Among surgeons who published a first-author paper in training, the total papers published by each trainee did not change over the past two decades (3.5 versus 3.3 first-author papers per 10 y of training, P = 0.8819). However, the number of BSR papers published during training decreased significantly (1.7 versus 0.8 first-author papers per 10 y of training, P < 0.0001).
    CONCLUSIONS: CT surgery trainees are publishing fewer BSR papers. Additional efforts are needed to increase exposure of trainees to BSR and reaffirm that BSR is a valuable and worthwhile pursuit for academic surgeons.

    NIH Funding Across Surgical Specialties; How Do Women Fare?
    Areeba Saif, Lindsay A Demblowski, Andrew M Blakely, Martha A Zeiger.
       BACKGROUND: Much has been written about the under-representation of women in academic medicine. However, no study has comprehensively described the gender-based trends of National Institutes of Health funding across surgical specialties; this study provides such an overview.
    METHODS: We queried a previously created database to identify both male and female National Institutes of Health-funded surgeons. Surgical specialties and subspecialties were determined based upon formal training. Total grant costs and average costs per R01 and K grant were calculated and compared. Bivariate χ2 analyses were performed using population totals.
    RESULTS: In 2020, the specialties with the highest proportion of National Institutes of Health-funded female surgeon-scientists were obstetrics and gynecology (57%) and vascular surgery (40%). The general surgery subspecialties with the highest proportion of women were breast (85%), endocrine (58%), and colorectal surgery (40%). An analysis of total grant costs in 2020 revealed that in most specialties, the proportion of funding held by women was substantially less than the proportion of women investigators. In obstetrics and gynecology, women comprised 57% of surgeons, but held only 46% of the funding. Similarly, in breast surgery, women comprised 85% of surgeons, but held only 45% of the funding. Women and men had similar changes in the average total cost per R01 and K grant awarded from 2010 to 2020. In 2020, women were awarded less than men per R01 grant in general, otolaryngology, plastic and reconstructive, urology, and vascular surgery.
    CONCLUSION: Although female surgeon-scientists have made significant advances in some surgical specialties, they continue to lag in others. An in-depth analysis of the factors contributing to these trends is necessary to achieve gender parity across all academic surgical specialties.

    Gender Disparities in Presentations at the Society of Surgical Oncology (SSO) Meetings From 2014 to 2019.
    Heather G Lyu, Pamela Lu, David A Mahvi, Lindsay E Y Kuo, Sandra L Wong, Chandrajit P Raut, Nancy L Cho.
       BACKGROUND: Participation in surgical society meetings serves as a proxy for academic success and is important for career development. This study aimed to investigate and report the gender breakdown of presenters at recent Society of Surgical Oncology (SSO) meetings.
    METHODS: Genders of presenters for poster, parallel, plenary, and video sessions at SSO meetings from 2014 through 2019 were collected. These data were broken down to first-last authorship relationships including female-female, female-male, male-female, and male-male. The proportions of female-to-male presenters were compared for each session type. Statistical significance was set at p value lower than 0.05.
    RESULTS: From 2014 through 2019, the SSO had 2920 presenters, and 47% were female. Women were listed as first authors more often for the poster session (48%) than for other sessions (parallel, plenary, and video) (p = 0.003). Women also were listed more often as senior authors for the poster session (31%) than for other sessions (p = 0.004). Female senior authors were fewer than male senior authors across all session types. Female first authors had the highest representation in breast (75%), endocrine (48%), and cutaneous (46%) specialties (p < 0.001). The most common combination of first and senior authors was male-male (43%), followed by female-male (28%), female-female (19%), and male-female (10%).
    CONCLUSION: Overall, female presentation at SSO is comparable with society demographics, and female first authorship is relatively equal to male first authorship in poster sessions. Whereas female first authorship improved over time, female senior authorship remained relatively flat. Opportunities to improve gender equality in senior authorship positions should be explored.

    Contribution of Eastern Mediterranean Region countries to palliative care journals from 1991 to 2020 and its relationship to the development of palliative care.
    Samy A Alsirafy, Amneh D Hassan, Mahmoud Y Sroor, Ismail Samy, Somaia M A Mousa.
       BACKGROUND: Palliative care (PC) is in an early stage of development in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) of the World Health Organization. A metric based on publishing in specialized PC journals may be useful in assessing PC development. This study was conducted to describe the contribution of EMR countries to PC research and to study the relationship between this contribution and the levels of PC development.
    METHODS: The Scopus database was used to search 21 PC journals (1991-2020) for articles with at least one EMR-affiliated author independently of his/her position in the article. As an indicator, the 3-year average articles per million population per year (AAMY) was calculated. Changes over time were calculated through a regression analysis. The relationship between the AAMY and the level of PC development and opioid consumption were assessed through Mann-Witney test using the worldmap PC development categories as a proxy, and Spearman analysis, respectively.
    RESULTS: The number of articles published during the 30-year period was 31,108 of which 402 (1.3%) were EMR-affiliated. There was a steady rise in the AAMY of the EMR (R2 = 0.894). The number of EMR-affiliated articles increased from 3 in the period 1991-1995 to 191 in 2016-2020. The 2018-2020 AAMY was significantly higher in countries with greater PC development than in those without (median [IQR] = 0.0975 [0.0254-0.1802] and 0.0098 [0-0.0256], p = 0.042). Also, it was significantly higher in countries that progressed to a higher level of PC development between 2006 and 2017 (p = 0.0159). There was a significant positive correlation between the average opioid consumption for the years 2017-2019 and the AAMY for the same period (p = 0.0043).
    CONCLUSIONS: There is a slow steady progress in the contribution of EMR countries to PC journals, which corresponds to the level of PC development and its progress in the region. A metric based on the contribution to specialized PC journals may be a useful indicator of PC development.

    Abstract Presentation at Two Veterinary Surgery Conferences and the Impact on Publication Rate.
    William S Kettleman, Bryan T Torres.
       OBJECTIVES:  The aim of this study was to compare the publication rate (PR) and report descriptive findings from abstracts presented at the American College of Veterinary Surgeons (ACVS), the Veterinary Orthopaedic Society (VOS), and those presented at both conferences.
    STUDY DESIGN:  All conference abstracts from 2001 to 2010 ACVS and VOS meetings were reviewed. PR in peer-reviewed journals was evaluated and compared between Group 1 (abstracts presented at ACVS only; n = 1,277), Group 2 (abstracts presented at VOS only; n = 645), and Group 3 (abstracts presented at both conferences; n = 121) abstracts. Abstracts were assigned a level of evidence (LoE) score.
    RESULTS:  Approximately 6% of all abstracts evaluated were presented at two scientific meetings (Group 3). The PR of Group 1 (66%) and Group 3 (62%) abstracts was significantly higher than that of Group 2 (45%). The majority of abstracts were assigned a low LoE (3 or 4). Once presented, most Group 3 abstracts took <12 months to be submitted and <24 months to be published.
    CONCLUSION:  This study found that a limited number of abstracts were presented at both ACVS and VOS, and PR was significantly different between those presented at ACVS only or both ACVS and VOS compared with VOS only. There was no significant difference in PR between Group 1 and Group 3 abstracts. This study has provided the initial comparison between abstracts presented at two veterinary surgical conferences.

    The scientific literature on bats (chiroptera) in Brazil: a scientometric analysis from 1954 - 2018.
    Beatriz Fernandes L Luciano, Guilherme Alves Elias, Jairo Jose Zocche, Eraldo M Costa Neto, Fernando Carvalho.
      Globally, bats are of interest in many studies, beyond their ecological or epidemiological relevance or even the ecomorphological diversity of species. In Brazil, most of the indexed studies on chiropterans date from 1954, with a slow and heterogeneous progress in the publication increasing. The aim of this study was to analyze the literature on bats in Brazil, identifying patterns, tendencies and knowledge gaps in the Brazilian federal states. We carried out a sistematyzed search on the online databases Clarivate Analytics Web of Science (WoS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), PubMed and Scopus. We used the descriptive terms "Chiroptera" and "Brazil". Besides these bases, we included data from the manuscripts published in Chiroptera Neotropical. We obtained a total of 1,115 articles, which were analyzed and classified in 22 thematic categories based on the articles' approach. We observed that each Brazilian region and state had particularities in their knowledge panoramas of bats, not being possible to generalize conditions for each federal region. Even though the increasing in the number of articles by categories, we encourage that every approach keep being developded, once no thematic could had been considered enough explored till the moment.

    ECANP: A Topic Influence Evaluation Model for Hot Topics.
    Yiru Chang, Zhiyuan Zhang, Guixun Luo.
      Social network is an important product of industrial society. In recent years, the research related to hot topics has focused on topic detection, topic trend prediction, and topic tracking. However, the important role of topic influence evaluation in hot topic research has not received enough attention, which leads the problem of inaccurate influence calculation. In order to solve the above problems, this paper proposes a novel model to evaluate the real-time relative influence of topics in social network. The proposed model can quantify the influence of topics, and some influential factors which determine topic hotness will be analyzed and identified. In this model, five impact indicators are defined, namely user engagement, topic coverage, topic activity, topic persistence, and topic novelty to consider the topic characteristics more finely. Moreover, the proposed model not only consider traditional simple factors of like, forward and comments, but also pay attention to the relative influence and time attenuation characteristics of the topics. Further, the experimental results show that our method could quickly aggregate the influence factors of hot topics and accurately provide the influence indicator of topics.
