    Essam Ahmed Al-Moraissi, Nikolaos Christidis, Yuh-Shan Ho.
       BACKGROUND: Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are common, can be both painful and non-painful, and encompass various conditions affecting the temporomandibular joint, the masticatory muscles or both TMD. Therefore, the purpose of this bibliometric analysis was to synthetically analyze citation performance in TMD, to address a more innovative method including details of including of article title, author keyword, KeyWords Plus, and abstracts.
    MATERIAL AND METHODS: Data used in this study were retrieved from the Clarivate Analytics Web of Science Core Collection, the online version of the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED) between 1992 to 2021. The distribution of key words in the article title and author‑selected keywords were used to evaluate research trends.
    RESULTS: Of the 7,228 documents in SCI-EXPANDED, 6,138 documents met all inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis, of which 4,945 were articles. The present bibliometric analysis of the articles published in the research filed of TMD revealed that orofacial pain, bruxism, chronic pain, and myofascial pain are the most commonly used keywords by the authors. Further, over the last 30 years 4,945 articles are published in the field of TMD, and the far most frequently cited study was published 8 years ago and handles the diagnostic criteria of TMD. The USA and Brazil were top two ranking productive countries of publication on TMD. The most productive journal was Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, followed by Cranio-The Journal of Craniomandibular & Sleep Practice and Journal of Oral & Facial Pain and Headache. The most productive authors were P. Svensson, R. Ohrbach, and F. Lobbezooas. The most productive institutes were Sao Paulo University (Brazil), Malmo University (Sweden), and Washington university (USA) CONCLUSION: Based on the outcome of this bibliometric study, the authors hope that both clinicians and researchers will have information to shape their future research focus, finding prominent institutions in their nearby area, or even to be stimulated to initiate new international or even multinational collaborations.

    Siyuan Chen, Yu Qiao, Juan Chen, Yanan Li, Jianlian Xie, Pengfei Cui, Ziwei Huang, Di Huang, Yiming Gao, Yi Hu, Zhefeng Liu.
       Objective: The study was designed to explore the evolution of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) management in the last 20 years.
    Methods: The top 100 most-cited papers on NSCLC treatment were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database. R and VOSviewer were used to extract bibliographic information, including the year of publication, countries/regions, institutions, authors, journals, keywords, impact factor, and total citations. The topic and type of papers were checked independently by authors. Bibliometric analysis was conducted and visualized with R, CiteSpace, Excel and VOSviewer to identify output dynamics, research forces, topics, hotspots, and frontiers in the field.
    Results: The average citation of each retrieved top 100 most-cited NSCLC management papers was 1,725 (range: 615-7,340). Fifty-seven corresponding authors were from the United States. This country contributed the most papers (n=76), followed by Germany (n=34), France (n=33), and South Korea (n=32). The top contributors were Paz-Ares L. (n=12) and Reck M. (n=12). The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center published the largest number of papers (n=20). There were two significant citation paths, indicating publications in medicine/medical/clinical journals primarily cited journals in molecular/biology/genetics fields, partly cited health/nursing/medicine fields. Top-cited papers mainly came from the New England Journal of Medicine (n=33, citations=80,427), followed closely by the Journal of Clinical Oncology (n=28, citations=32,408). "Chemotherapy" (n=36) was the keyword with the greatest frequency of co-occurrence. "Open-label" was the keyword with the strongest burst strength (=4.01), followed by "nivolumab" (=3.85), "blockade" (=2.86), and "efficacy" (=2.85).
    Conclusions: The United States as a nation and the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center as an institute contributed the most to this field. The New England Journal of Medicine is the most eye-catching journal. Hotspots of NSCLC management have almost undergone an evolution from chemotherapy and radiotherapy to targeted therapy to immunotherapy. Molecular/biological/genetic fields become the main research base for NSCLC treatment. Immunotherapy and combination therapy are research frontiers.

    Peichen Xiao, Chenchen Yao, Guangxin Wang.
       Objective: This study aimed to analyze the top 100 most cited papers and research trends on endometrial carcinoma via bibliometric methods.
    Methods: On the 1st of March 2022, the top 100 most cited papers regarding endometrial carcinoma published from 1971 to 2021 were identified through searching Web of Science Core Collection database and the following data: title, author, journal, publication year, country and institution were extracted. Microsoft Office Excel (2019) was used for descriptive statistical analysis. VOSviewer (1.6.18) was used to perform and visualize co-authorship analysis and co-occurrence analysis.
    Results: These 100 papers were cited a total of 45, 685 times, and the mean number of citations was 456.85 (range, 228 to 2487). Most papers were published between 1996 and 2000, and between 2006 and 2010. The Lancet published the largest number of papers (n=12), followed by Gynecologic Oncology (n=11). Most of the papers were from the United States (n=58), followed by Italy (n=8) and Netherlands (n=7). Duke University, Johns Hopkins University, University of California San Francisco and University of Southern California (all in United States) contributed the most papers (n=4, respectively). Nicoletta Colombo contributed the most papers (n=3) as the corresponding author. The co-occurrence keywords were classified into three clusters: cluster 1 (epidemiology study), cluster 2 (molecular biology study) and cluster 3 (clinical treatment study). Early research that was published prior to 2005 in this field was mainly focused on epidemiology and molecular biology; the mean publication year for keywords in cluster 3 was later than other clusters. The keywords "external-beam radiotherapy," "uterine serous carcinoma," and "intermediate-risk" showed relatively later mean publication year and lower mean frequency of occurrence.
    Conclusions: This study provides medical researchers with bibliometric information relating to endometrial carcinoma. Our results show that the United States is a clear leader in this field. The clinical treatment of endometrial carcinoma has received increasing levels of attention over recent years and is likely to remain a major area of research in the future. Meanwhile, it is recommended to pay attention to potential research hotspots, such as external-beam radiotherapy, uterine serous carcinoma and intermediate-risk.

       AIMS: This study aimed to identify high-impact papers on global nursing to determine and analyze the publication of articles on core competencies in nursing-related journals and the research trends in the era of globalization.
    BACKGROUND: Bibliometrics has been shown to be an effective method for analyzing publications. Through bibliometrics, nursing managers and researchers can understand the trends of high-impact international nursing core competencies research, identify mainstream research directions, and obtain relevant knowledge and information, thereby facilitating the translation of research outcomes into nursing management practice.
    EVALUATION: The study adopted bibliometric analysis and the VOSviewer software to explore dynamic publication trends and analyze the current situation of nursing research from a comprehensive development perspective, which was realized by searching for nursing core competencies papers in the Web of Science (WoS) database, calculating citations, and determining the trends of the most influential papers.
    RESULTS: Nursing core competencies research grew rapidly between 1997 and 2022. Countries with the most core competencies publications were the United States, England, Australia, and Canada. The Journal of Nursing Management has attracted substantial attention from researchers worldwide. Education, Management, and Nurses were the most frequently used keywords in the study. A total of 534 papers were retrieved from the WoS database with the main research fields, including nursing, business economics, public environmental occupational health, and health care science services.
    CONCLUSION: Equipping nursing graduates with core competencies has always been an important goal of global medical and nursing education. This study analyzed papers across 35 years, most of which were published in the Journal of Nursing Management. In addition, the study identified some of the main research topics of nursing management, such as the integration of education with nursing management and the cultivation of nurses' core competencies. The study also provides a fresh review of highly cited articles. The results of the study show that high-quality articles play the role of improving both the quality and the quantity of related research. By analyzing the trends of the research on core competencies, this study lays a bibliometric foundation for researchers regarding international journals, hot topics, and relevant fields. In addition, the highly cited articles reveal new perspectives for the nursing field, providing inspiration for nursing management and education researchers.
    IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: This study provides scholars and managers with an overview of the current situation of nursing management research and the development of benchmark journals. The study provides researchers not only with a better understanding of various international journals, allowing them to transition out of traditional thinking in the era of science and technology, but also with innovative thinking by combining research with nursing management.

    Bijun Zhang, Ting Fan.
      Introduction: Deep learning technology has been widely used in genetic research because of its characteristics of computability, statistical analysis, and predictability. Herein, we aimed to summarize standardized knowledge and potentially innovative approaches for deep learning applications of genetics by evaluating publications to encourage more research. Methods: The Science Citation Index Expanded TM (SCIE) database was searched for deep learning applications for genomics-related publications. Original articles and reviews were considered. In this study, we derived a clustered network from 69,806 references that were cited by the 1,754 related manuscripts identified. We used CiteSpace and VOSviewer to identify countries, institutions, journals, co-cited references, keywords, subject evolution, path, current characteristics, and emerging topics. Results: We assessed the rapidly increasing publications concerned about deep learning applications of genomics approaches and identified 1,754 articles that published reports focusing on this subject. Among these, a total of 101 countries and 2,487 institutes contributed publications, The United States of America had the most publications (728/1754) and the highest h-index, and the US has been in close collaborations with China and Germany. The reference clusters of SCI articles were clustered into seven categories: deep learning, logic regression, variant prioritization, random forests, scRNA-seq (single-cell RNA-seq), genomic regulation, and recombination. The keywords representing the research frontiers by year were prediction (2016-2021), sequence (2017-2021), mutation (2017-2021), and cancer (2019-2021). Conclusion: Here, we summarized the current literature related to the status of deep learning for genetics applications and analyzed the current research characteristics and future trajectories in this field. This work aims to provide resources for possible further intensive exploration and encourages more researchers to overcome the research of deep learning applications in genetics.

    Yunling Xu, Yuji Wang, Jiaolong He, Wanping Zhu.
       Background: Here, a bibliometric and knowledge map analysis are used to analyze the research hot spots and development trends regarding the antibacterial effect of lactoferrin (LF). By looking for research hot spots and new topics, we provide new clues and research directions for future research.
    Methods: Articles and reviews regarding the antibacterial effect of LF were retrieved and from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) on 25 June 2022. CiteSpace and VOSviewer were used to conduct the bibliometric and knowledge map analysis.
    Results: In total, 8,292 authors at 2,151 institutions from 86 countries published 1,923 articles in 770 academic journals. The United States was the leader regarding research on the antibacterial effects of LF, while the Netherlands was a pioneer in conducting research in this field. The University of California system contributed the most publications. Bolscher JGM published most articles, while Wayne Bellamy had most cocitations. However, there was insufficient cooperation among the various institutions and authors. BioMetals published most LF-antibacterial activity-related articles, whereas Infection and Immunity was most commonly cocited journal. The most influential research hot spots about the antibacterial effect of LF focused on antimicrobial peptides, casein, human milk, expression, and Escherichia coli-related research. The latest hot spots and research frontier included COVID-19, antibiofilm activity, and immune defense.
    Conclusions: LF is a multifunctional protein with a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activities. The related field of antibacterial properties of LF will remain a research hot spot in future.

      Background: Several studies have shown that soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulators have cardiovascular (CV) benefits. However, few bibliometric analyses have examined this field systematically. Our study aimed to examine the publications to determine the trends and hotspots in CV research on sGC stimulators. Methods: Publications on sGC stimulators in CV research were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. VOSviewer and CiteSpace visualization software were used to analyze publication trends, countries (regions) and institutions, journals and cited journals, authors and cited references, as well as keywords. Results: A total of 1,212 literatures were obtained. From its first appearance in 1992-2021 (based on WOSCC record), the overall volume of publications has shown a gradual increasing trend. Nearly one-third were authored by American scholars, and most were published in Circulation, Circulation Research, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. Bayer Agency in Germany was the leading driving force, and has a high academic reputation in this field. Stasch JP has published the most related articles and been cited most frequently. Half of the top 10 co-cited references were published in the leading highly co-cited journal Circulation and New England Journal of Medicine. "NO," "allosteric regulation" and "free radicals" were the focus of previous research, "chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension," "pulmonary hypertension" and "heart failure" were the main research hotspots. The key words "chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension," "Pulmonary hypertension," "preserved ejection fraction" and "heart failure" appeared most recently as research frontiers. Conclusion: The research in the CV field of sGC stimulators was relatively comprehensive, and there was a close relationship among countries, research institutions and authors, but it is still in the exploratory stage in the treatment of CV disease. At present, most studies focus on the results of clinical trials. sGC stimulators in the treatment of heart failure, especially heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, may be the hotpots and Frontier at present and in the future, and should be closely monitored.

    The impact of heat on kidney health: A PRISMA-compliant bibliometric analysis.
    Mohammed Al-Bouwarthan, Abdulaziz A AlMulla, Muhammad Yaseen.
       BACKGROUND: Exposure to excessive heat can impact kidney health. Climate change is projected to aggravate this impact. An analysis of articles published between 1958 and 2021 was conducted to explore the progress of the research on this issue.
    METHODS: This study included a bibliometric analysis wherein Web of Science was used to generate a list of all published articles related to the impact of heat on kidney health. Basic information about the articles, such as titles, authors' names, keywords, and citations, were recorded and analyzed.
    RESULTS: A total of 226 published articles related to the impact of heat on kidney health were identified as of November 20, 2021. Most of these articles (93%) were published within the last decade. The United States was the most prominent country in terms of research productivity and collaboration. Researchers from the United States were well represented among the top 20 contributors of published articles on the study issue. The productivity of the top 20 authors varied between 6 and 32 articles each. A total of 25 common words used by the authors were identified. The most frequently used keywords were chronic kidney disease, heat stress, acute kidney injury, Mesoamerican nephropathy, and climate change. Keyword analysis revealed 3 distinct major research clusters in the existing scientific research on the impact of heat on kidney health: chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology, heat stress and renal physiology, and the effect of climate change on kidney health.
    CONCLUSIONS: Research on heat-related kidney injury has witnessed rapid development in recent decades, motivated by the emergence of chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology and climate change. Developing countries in hot regions must increase their productivity in this research area through international collaboration and partnerships.

    Publication trends of research on conjunctival melanoma during 1997-2022: A 25-year bibliometric study.
    Wei Xu, Ludi Yang, Shengfang Ge, Shichong Jia, Fen Gu.
       Background: Conjunctival melanoma (CM) is a life-threatening ocular tumor with a high rate of local recurrence and metastasis. Our objective is to analyze research trends in CM field and compare contributions from different countries, institutions and authors.
    Methods: We extracted all CM-related publications published from 1997 to 2022 from the Web of Science database and applied Microsoft Excel and VOSviewer to review publication data, analyze publication trends, and visualize relevant data.
    Results: A total of 708 publications were identified. The United States contributed the most publications (280) and citations (8,781 times) with the highest H-index value (47). The Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, British Journal of Ophthalmology, American Journal of Ophthalmology and Cornea were the most productive journal concerning CM, and Shields CL, Shields JA, Jager MJ as well as Finger PT had published the most papers in the field. Keywords were classified into three clusters: clinical research, management-related research and genetic research. The keywords "primary acquired melanosis", "metastasis" and "BRAF mutations" were most frequently emerged. According to the average appearing year (AAY), targeted therapy (AAY of 2019.0) and nivolumab (AAY of 2018.7) were identified as the main focuses of the field in the near future.
    Conclusion: In the past 25 years, the United States, Germany, England and the Netherlands held the leading position in the CM research. A group of scholars made important contributions to CM research and will continue to guide cutting-edge research. Treatments that have been shown to be effective for advanced cutaneous melanoma, such as targeted therapy and immunotherapy, are potential focuses for future CM research.

    In-depth bibliometric analysis and current scientific mapping research in the context of rheumatoid arthritis pharmacotherapy.
    Andrei-Flavius Radu, Simona Gabriela Bungau, Paul Andrei Negru, Mihai Florin Marcu, Felicia Liana Andronie-Cioara.
      Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic multifactorial disorder of autoimmune etiology with a complex pathophysiological mechanism that is not yet fully elucidated. RA pharmacotherapy includes active molecules of chemical or biological nature that offer symptomatic relief and a slowing of progression, but still in a context of incurability. Therefore, the development of continuous research and multidisciplinary collaboration is essential. Although the management of RA is a topic of significant scientific relevance, existing bibliometric analyses are insufficient to assess this vast field. Consequently, the present study examines numerous manuscripts indexed in the Web of Science database using the VOSviewer software to provide through statistical interpretation of the data a comprehensive description of RA pharmacotherapy in terms of scientific impact, current state of research, number and frequency of citations, most prolific journals, authors, and countries, along with their relationships and other useful data for the literature search/publication process. Furthermore, the use of bubble maps of term occurrence has applicability in identifying current research trends in the field of RA pharmacotherapy as well as their evolution over the years. The leader in this field in terms of published papers is the United States, and the most prolific journal is Annals of the rheumatic diseases. The global management of RA, which is characterized by extensiveness and depth due to many variables, suggests the need for a conceptual framework based on pharmacotherapy coupled with comprehensive bibliometric studies, and the results may be useful for researchers in setting specific objectives that contribute to improving RA outcomes.

    Evolution of customer relationship management to data mining-based customer relationship management: a scientometric analysis.
    Minnu F Pynadath, T M Rofin, Sam Thomas.
      Scores of researchers have paid attention to empirical and conceptual dimensions of Customer relationship management (CRM). A few studies summarise the research output of CRM focusing on a specific industry. Nevertheless, there is scant literature summarising the research output of CRM in contrast to the data mining-based CRM. This study presents a scientometric analysis that evaluates CRM research output with a special focus on data mining-based CRM. Bibliometric data were extracted for the period 2000-2020 from the Web of Science database to apply descriptive analysis and scientometric analysis to obtain the bibliometric profile of CRM research. Further, we generated the conceptual structure map using multiple correspondence analysis and clustering for CRM and data mining-based CRM research fields. Interestingly, the analysis revealed that the future trendfi of CRM research would be based on techniques associated with machine learning and artificial intelligence. The study provides extensive insight into the basic structure of the CRM and data mining-based CRM research domain and identifies future research areas.

    Nurses as agents for achieving Environmentally Sustainable Health Systems: A bibliometric analysis.
    Olga María Luque-Alcaraz, Pilar Aparicio-Martinez, Antonio Gomera, Manuel Vaquero-Abellan.
       OBJECTIVE: To analyze the current scientific knowledge and research lines focused on environmentally sustainable health systems, including the role of nurses.
    BACKGROUND: There seem to be differences between creating interventions focused on environmentally sustainable health systems, including nurses, and the scarcity of research on this topic, framed on the Sustainable Development Goals.
    METHODS: A bibliometric analysis was carried out, via three databases (Web of Science, Scopus, and Pubmed), and the guideline recommendations were followed to select bibliometric data.
    RESULTS: The search resulted in 159 publications, significantly increasing the trends from 2017 to 2021 (p=0.028). The most relevant countries in this area were the United States of America, the United Kingdom, and Sweden. Also, the top articles were from relevant journals, indexed in Journal Citation Report, and the first and the second quartile linked to the nursing field and citations (p<0.001).
    CONCLUSION: Education is key to achieving environmentally sustainable health systems via institutions and policies.
    IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING MANAGEMENT: There is a lack of experimental data and policies on achieving or maintaining environmentally sustainable health care systems, indicating that nurses have an important role and should be consulted and included in decision-making policies regarding sustainability in the healthcare systems.

    Research in eating disorders: the misunderstanding of supposing serious mental illnesses as a niche specialty.
    Enrica Marzola, Matteo Panero, Paola Longo, Matteo Martini, Fernando Fernàndez-Aranda, Walter H Kaye, Giovanni Abbate-Daga.
       PURPOSE: Eating disorders (EDs) are mental illnesses with severe consequences and high mortality rates. Notwithstanding, EDs are considered a niche specialty making it often difficult for researchers to publish in high-impact journals. Subsequently, research on EDs receives less funding than other fields of psychiatry potentially slowing treatment progress. This study aimed to compare research vitality between EDs and schizophrenia focusing on: number and type of publications; top-cited articles; geographical distribution of top-ten publishing countries; journal distribution of scientific production as measured by bibliometric analysis; funded research and collaborations.
    METHODS: We used the Scopus database, then we adopted the Bibliometrix R-package software with the web interface app Biblioshiny. We included in the analyses 1,916 papers on EDs and 6491 on schizophrenia.
    RESULTS: The ED field published three times less than schizophrenia in top-ranking journals - with letters and notes particularly lacking-notwithstanding a comparable number of papers published per author. Only 50% of top-cited articles focused on EDs and a smaller pool of journals available for ED research (i.e., Zones 1 and 2 according to Bradford's law) emerged; journals publishing on EDs showed an overall lower rank compared to the schizophrenia field. Schizophrenia research was more geographically distributed and more funded; in contrast, a comparable collaboration index was found between the fields.
    CONCLUSION: These data show that research on EDs is currently marginalized and top-rank journals are seldom achievable by researchers in EDs. Such difficulties in research dissemination entail potentially serious repercussions on clinical advancements.
    LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level V: opinions of respected authorities, based on descriptive studies, narrative reviews, clinical experience, or reports of expert committees.

    A Scientometric-Analysis-Based Review of the Research Development on Geopolymers.
    Kaffayatullah Khan, Waqas Ahmad, Muhammad Nasir Amin, Sohaib Nazar.
      A scientometric-based assessment of the literature on geopolymers was conducted in this study to determine its critical aspects. Typical review studies are restricted in their capability to link disparate segments of the literature in a systematic and exact way. Knowledge mapping, co-citation, and co-occurrence are very difficult components of creative research. This study adopted an advanced strategy of data mining, data processing and analysis, visualization and presentation, and interpretation of the bibliographic data on geopolymers. The Scopus database was used to search for and retrieve the data needed to complete the study's objectives. The relevant sources of publications, keyword assessment, productive authors based on publications and citations, top papers based on citations received, and areas actively engaged in the research of geopolymers are recognized during the data assessment. The VOSviewer (VOS: visualization of similarities) software application was employed to analyze the literature data comprising citation, bibliographic, abstract, keywords, funding, and other information from 7468 relevant publications. In addition, the applications and restrictions associated with the use of geopolymers in the construction sector are discussed, as well as possible solutions to overcome these restrictions. The scientometric analysis revealed that the leading publication source (journal) in terms of articles and citations is "Construction and building materials"; the mostly employed keywords are geopolymer, fly ash, and compressive strength; and the top active and contributing countries based on publications are China, India, and Australia. Because of the quantitative and graphical representation of participating nations and researchers, this study can help academics to create collaborative efforts and exchange creative ideas and approaches. In addition, this study concluded that the large-scale usage of geopolymer concrete is constrained by factors such as curing regime, activator solution scarcity and expense, efflorescence, and alkali-silica reaction. However, embracing the potential solutions outlined in this study might assist in boosting the building industry's adoption of geopolymer concrete.

    International Scientific Collaboration on Pituitary Research: A Social Network Analysis.
    Nahid Hashemi-Madani, Zahra Emami, Mohammad E Khamseh.
      Background: Social network analysis (SNA) evaluates the connections and behavior of individuals in social groups. The scientific collaboration network is a kind of SNAs. A social network could be defined as a collection of nodes (social existence) and links (connections) associated with the nodes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the scientific outputs and collaboration networks of the countries and authors using indicators of SNA in the field of pituitary disorders between 2000 and 2020. Methods: This is a practical study performed by applying a scientometric approach and SNA. We retrieved 31257 papers in the field of pituitary disorders between 2000 and 2020. Data were analyzed using scientific software, namely, VOSviewer, UciNet, and Netdarw. Results: Based on degree centrality, Colao and Pivonello in the world, Shimon and Kadioghlu in the Middle-East (ME), and Khamseh, Ghorbani in Iran achieved the top ranking. Based on the betweenness centrality, Pivonello, Colao, and Chanson in the world, Laws, and Kadioghlu in the Middle-East, and Larijani, Mohseni, and Khamseh in Iran were known as the top authors. According to closeness centrality, Pivonello, Colao, and Chanson in the world, Kadioghlu and Kelestimur in the Middle-East, and Mohseni, Khamseh, and Larijani in Iran were the top authors. The map of the authors' collaboration in the field of pituitary disorders consists of 92 nodes. A total number of 77313 authors had global collaboration. The global collaboration network was comprised of 129 nodes (country) and 2694 links (country's collaboration). The Middle-East collaboration network revealed 69 nodes and 1708 links. The collaboration network of the Middle-East countries consists of 13 nodes and 50 links. Conclusion: Authors with a higher degree, betweenness and closeness centrality have greater efficiency (the number of articles) and effectiveness (the number of received citations). Moreover, the authors and countries that published more scientific products received more citations. In addition, in the Middle-East countries, the interdisciplinary scientific collaboration between the researchers in the fields of endocrinology, neurosurgery, pathology, and radiology has a significant impact on improving scientific outputs.

    Bibliometric and visual analysis of blood-testis barrier research.
    Yifeng Shen, Yaodong You, Kun Zhu, Chunyan Fang, Xujun Yu, Degui Chang.
      Background: Extensive research on the blood-testis barrier has been undertaken in recent years. However, no systematic bibliometric study has been conducted on this subject. Our research aimed to identify the hotspots and frontiers of blood-testis barrier research and to serve as a guide for future scientific research and decision-making in the field. Methods: Studies on the blood-testis barrier were found in the Web of Science Core Collection. VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and Microsoft Excel were used to conduct the bibliometric and visual analyses. Results: We found 942 blood-testis barrier studies published in English between 1992 and 2022. The number of annual publications and citations increased significantly between 2011 and 2022, notably in the United States. China and the United States, the US Population Council, Endocrinology, and Cheng C. Yan were the most productive countries, institution, journal, and author, respectively. The study keywords indicated that blood-testis barrier research involves a variety of compositional features (tight junctions, cytoskeleton, adherens junctions), cell types (Sertoli cells, germ cells, Leydig cells, stem cells), reproductive toxicity (cadmium, nanoparticles, bisphenol-a), and relevant mechanisms (spermatogenesis, apoptosis, oxidative stress, dynamics, inflammation, immune privilege). Conclusion: The composition and molecular processes of the blood-testis barrier as well as the blood-testis barrier in male infertility patients are the primary research hotspots in this field. In addition, future research will likely focus on treatment and the development of novel medications that target signal pathways in oxidative stress and apoptosis to preserve the blood-testis barrier. Further studies must extend to clinical diagnosis and therapy.

    Gender Disparities in Shoulder and Elbow Publications.
    Sean B Sequeira, Melissa A Wright, Anand M Murthi.
       HYPOTHESIS/BACKGROUND: Female representation in orthopedics, and specifically shoulder and elbow surgery, lags behind other surgical subspecialities. There has been a growing interest in recent years to better characterize, and address, gender disparities in the field. The purpose of this investigation was to characterize gender trends in authorship in the shoulder and elbow literature from 2002 to 2020.
    METHODS: Articles published from January 2002 to December 2020 in 15 clinical orthopedic and shoulder/elbow specific journals were extracted from the online Pubmed database. Articles that included the first name of the first and senior authors and contained keywords related to the shoulder and elbow subspecialty were included. The Genderize algorithm was utilized to determine each author's gender. Gender based publication trends from 2002 to 2020 were analyzed using descriptive and significance testing as well as logistic regression.
    RESULTS: 34,695 articles met inclusion criteria and 52,497 unique authors were identified. Of these unique authors, 10,175 (19.4%) were female and 42,322 (80.6%) were male. On average, each unique female author published 1.7 ± 0.1 manuscripts since 2002 and males published 2.5 ± 0.2 (p < 0.001). Female representation in shoulder and elbow publications began at 10.2% in 2002 and rose to 15.9% in 2020 (p < 0.001). Female representation in the lead author position began at 4.1% in 2002 and rose to 5.8% in 2020 (p = 0.009). Female representation in the senior author position began at 6.0% in 2002 and rose to 9.1% in 2020 (p < 0.001).
    CONCLUSION: While female representation in first, senior, and general authorship lags behind male representation in the shoulder and elbow literature, female authorship has significantly increased since 2002. The same men tend to publish more frequently while the number of unique female authors surpasses the annual representation of female authorship. Efforts to improve female representation in the field of orthopedic surgery should include efforts directed at improving female representation in academic literature.

    Gender and Geographic Origin as Determinants of Manuscript Publication Outcomes: JBMR® Bibliometric Analysis from 2017 to 2019.
    Fernando Rivadeneira, Randall T Loder, Anthony C McGuire, Joseph R Chitwood, Katie Duffy, Roberto Civitelli, Melissa A Kacena, Jennifer J Westendorf.
      The Journal of Bone and Mineral Research (JBMR®), the flagship journal of the ASBMR, enjoys a premiere position in its field and has a global reach. The journal uses a single-blind peer-review process whereby three editors are typically involved in assessing each submission for publication, in addition to external reviewers. While emphasizing fairness, rigor, and transparency, this process is not immune to the influence of unconscious biases. The gender and geographic diversity of JBMR® authors, editors and reviewers has increased over the last three decades, but whether such diversity has affected peer-review outcomes is unknown. We analyzed manuscript acceptance rates based on the gender and geographic origin of authors, reviewers, and Associate Editors. The analysis included 1,662 original research articles submitted to JBMR® from September 2017 through December 2019. Gender was assigned using probabilities from an online tool and manually validated through internet searches. Predictor variables of manuscript outcome were determined with multivariate logistic regression analysis. The acceptance rate was highest when the first and last authors were of different genders, and lowest when both authors were men. Reviewer gender did not influence the outcome regardless of the genders of the first and last authors. Associate Editors from all geographical regions tended to select reviewers from their same region. The acceptance rate was highest when the Associate Editor was from Europe. Manuscripts with authors from North America and Australia/New Zealand had greater overall odds of acceptance than those from Europe and Asia. Manuscripts reviewed only by Editorial Board (EB) members had a lower acceptance rate than those refereed by non-EB reviewers or a mix of EB and non-EB reviewers. Overall, the geographical origin of authors, reviewers, and editors, as well as reviewers' EB membership may influence manuscript decisions. Yet, the JBMR® peer-review process remains largely free from gender bias.

    Visualized analysis of research on helicopter emergency medical service.
    Cheng Peng, Pan Su.
       BACKGROUND: Numerous studies have confirmed that helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) play a positive role in prehospital care. However, few studies have used rigorous bibliometric tools to analyze the knowledge structure and distribution of HEMS research.
    OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to use bibliometric methods to conduct a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the HEMS-related literature and to determine the research status and hotspots of HEMS research.
    METHODS: CiteSpace was used for bibliometric analysis of the HEMS-related literature retrieved from the Web of Science database from 1989 to 2021.
    RESULTS: A total of 1378 HEMS-related literature were included. Collaboration among countries, authors, and institutions needs to be strengthened. The topics in HEMS research have mainly focused on the effectiveness of helicopter emergency medical services for trauma patients and the comparison of transport effectiveness between helicopters and ground emergency medical services on trauma patient transport. Research over the past 10 years has mainly focused on the application of HEMS in patients with trauma, myocardial infarction, cerebral apoplexy, application of tracheal intubation technology in HEMS, and advanced airway management. In recent years, HEMS research trends have mainly included out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, and transport.
    CONCLUSIONS: CiteSpace was used to visualize and analyze the HEMS-related literature, which visually reflected the research status and hot spots, providing references for the topic selection and development direction of HEMS research.

    Xiao-Yan Lü, Rong Li, Yu-Xin Li, Xiang-Yun Guan, Li Li, Jun-Li Li, Ying-Juan Cao.
      Objective To clarify the hotspots and trends of multimorbidity research and to provide evidence for further research in China. Methods Papers on multimorbidity were retrieved from PubMed and Web of Science (from inception to August 11,2021).BICOMB and gCLUTO were used for bibliometric and clustering analysis,and CiteSpace was employed for analysis of authors and citations,and burst detection of keywords. Results The research on multimorbidity has been on the rise.Among the authors,Mercer SW published the most papers on this topic and Fortin M was the most cited author.Karolinska Institute topped the institutions in the number of published papers,and the paper published in Lancet by Barnett K in 2012 was the most cited.A total of 75 high-frequency keywords were extracted,on the basis of which seven research hotspots were summarized:epidemiology (including the prevalence and trend),medication (involving polypharmacy,medication compliance,etc.),medical expenditure (including cost and medical services),aging (such as elderly patients,frailty,and disability),psychology (involving mental health,social support,etc.),multimorbidity management (such as the treatment,primary health care,and integrated care),and comorbidity of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases (involving obesity,stroke,diabetes,etc.). Conclusions Multimorbidity is concerned as a major health threat and public health problem worldwide.The management of multimorbidity is more complex than that of one disease,which thus faces more challenges.Therefore,researchers,health care providers,and policy-makers should underscore it.

    Steel Fiber-Reinforced Concrete: A Systematic Review of the Research Progress and Knowledge Mapping.
    Muhammad Nasir Amin, Waqas Ahmad, Kaffayatullah Khan, Ayaz Ahmad.
      This study performed a scientometric-based examination of the literature on steel fiber-reinforced concrete (SFRC) to identify its key elements. Typical review papers are limited in their capacity to link distinct segments of the literature in an organized and systematic method. The most challenging aspects of current research are knowledge mapping, co-occurrence, and co-citation. The Scopus search engine was used to search for and obtain the data required to meet the goals of the study. During the data evaluation, the relevant publication sources, keyword assessment, productive authors based on publications and citations, top papers based on citations received, and areas vigorously involved in SFRC studies were recognized. The VOSviewer software tool was used to evaluate the literature data from 9562 relevant papers, which included citation, abstract, bibliographic, keywords, funding, and other information. Furthermore, the applications and constraints related to the usage of SFRC in the construction sector were examined, as well as potential solutions to these constraints. It was determined that only 17 publication sources (journals/conferences) had published at least 100 articles on SFRC up to June 2022. Additionally, the mostly employed keywords by authors in SFRC research include steel fibers, fiber-reinforced concrete, concrete, steel fiber-reinforced concrete, and reinforced concrete. The assessment of authors revealed that 39 authors had published at least 30 articles. Moreover, China, the United States, and India were found to be the most active and participating countries based on publications on SFRC research. This study can assist academics in building collaborative initiatives and communicating new ideas and techniques because of the quantitative and graphical depiction of participating nations and researchers.

       OBJECTIVE: Despite efforts spent on promotion of gender equity in the academia, the gender gap is feared to have widened after the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Herein, we aimed to compare the distribution of female authorship by Turkish adult cardiologists in journals indexed at PubMed before and after the pandemic.
    METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, an advanced search on PubMed (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/) was carried out based on the following criteria: "entrez date" and keywords "Turkey" and "cardiology" to identify papers that entered the online database in April-September 2019 and April-September 2020. After the study sample was determined, type of the article and details of the author list were recorded.
    RESULTS: Of 1318 articles screened, 708 met the inclusion criteria. Overall, 85 (12.0%) of first authors and 67 (10.0%) of senior authors were female. Females were less likely to first author original articles, editorials, case reports/series and papers with international participation (9.5%, P = .012; 33.3%, P = .045; 18.3%, P = .033; 4.8%, P = .032, respectively). A higher proportion of females were in first and corresponding author positions in original articles (73.2%, P = .032; 76.5%, P = .019, respectively), but not in other article types (all P > .05), after emergence of the pandemic.
    CONCLUSION: These suggest that significant gender differences exist with regard to authorships of scientific publications that were submitted by Turkish adult cardiologists. Future studies may aim to evaluate the trends across a wider time span and based on a more extensive scientific output follow-up.

    The Bibliometric Landscape of Gene Editing Innovation and Regulation in the Worldwide.
    Xun Wei, Aqing Pu, Qianqian Liu, Quancan Hou, Yong Zhang, Xueli An, Yan Long, Yilin Jiang, Zhenying Dong, Suowei Wu, Xiangyuan Wan.
      Gene editing (GE) has become one of the mainstream bioengineering technologies over the past two decades, mainly fueled by the rapid development of the CRISPR/Cas system since 2012. To date, plenty of articles related to the progress and applications of GE have been published globally, but the objective, quantitative and comprehensive investigations of them are relatively few. Here, 13,980 research articles and reviews published since 1999 were collected by using GE-related queries in the Web of Science. We used bibliometric analysis to investigate the competitiveness and cooperation of leading countries, influential affiliations, and prolific authors. Text clustering methods were used to assess technical trends and research hotspots dynamically. The global application status and regulatory framework were also summarized. This analysis illustrates the bottleneck of the GE innovation and provides insights into the future trajectory of development and application of the technology in various fields, which will be helpful for the popularization of gene editing technology.

      Since the start of the Swedish National Research School in General Practice, 120 Swedish PhD candidates in general practice have been admitted to the school, out of whom 89 during the first 10-year period. We have evaluated the academic achievements of the 53 (60%) PhD candidates that finished their thesis 2011-2020 by a questionnaire and bibliometric data collected from the Web of Science Core Collection. The questionnaire was answered by 52 (98%) and showed that 45 (87%) had continued with research work after their dissertation. Ten (19%) had done a post doc and four (8%) had become associate professors, out of whom one (2%) was a full professor. We found 519 peer-reviewed scientific publications authored by the alumni. The co-authors of these publications were affiliated all around the world, mainly in Sweden, followed by Australia and Germany. The National Research School will continue to strive towards increased quality of primary care research.

    Trust but verify: An analysis of redundant publications from two major psychiatry journals in India.
    Vikas Menon, Natarajan Varadharajan, Samir Kumar Praharaj, Shahul Ameen.
       Background: No analysis of redundant or duplicate publications, deemed unethical and unscientific, has been undertaken in psychiatric literature.
    Aim: To analyze the proportion and patterns of redundant publications associated with index articles published in two major Indian psychiatry journals.
    Methods: Index articles were original papers published in the Indian Journal of Psychiatry and the Indian Journal of Psychological Medicine between 2015 and 2017. Using a systematic search strategy that combined author names and article keywords, we combed the literature to identify and characterize redundant publications related to these index articles. Redundant publications were classified into one of the following categories using a priori definitions: dual, suspected dual, salami slicing, meat extender, and extended sample publication.
    Results: From 324 index articles screened, a total of 27 articles (8.4%) were identified to have 32 associated redundant publications of the following types: dual (n = 3), suspected dual (n = 2), salami slicing (n = 22), meat extender (n = 3), and extended sample publication (n = 2). A majority of the redundant articles (n = 23, 71.9%) failed to clearly cross-reference the prior publication(s). We also identified nine non-redundant but related publications with no proper cross-referencing in five of them.
    Conclusion: Redundant publications are a common practice in the psychiatry journals screened. Salami slicing is the most common form of redundancy, with no proper cross-referencing in most cases. Concerted efforts are needed to detect and deal with this concerning practice that undermines both science and ethics.

    Female Authorship Trends Among Articles About Artificial Intelligence in North American Radiology Journals.
    Tyler D Yan, Po Hsiang Shawn Yuan, Tania Saha, Kiana Lebel, Lucy Spalluto, Charlotte J Yong-Hing.
      Purpose: To examine trends in female authorship of peer-reviewed North American radiology articles centred around artificial intelligence (AI). Method: A bibliographic search was conducted for all AI-related articles published in four North American radiology journals. Collected data included the genders of the first and last (senior) authors, year and country. We compared the trends of female authorship using Pearson chi-square, Fisher exact tests and logistic regression models. Results: 453 articles met the inclusion criteria. Among these, 107 (22.3%) had a female first author and 97 (27.3%) had a female senior author. Female first authors were over three times more likely to publish with a female senior author. Among the four journals, the CARJ had the highest proportion of female senior authors at 45.5%. The only significant temporal trend identified was an increase over the years in female senior authors in Radiology. Twenty-four countries contributed to the included articles, with the largest contributors being the United States (n = 290) and Canada (n = 30). Of the countries contributing more than 15 articles, there were none with above 50% female authorship. Conclusions: Female authors are underrepresented in AI-related radiology literature. However, there has been an encouraging recent increase in female authorship in AI-related radiology articles trending towards significance. There is a great opportunity to improve female representation in AI with intentional mentorship and recruitment. We urge more platforms for female voices in radiology as AI becomes increasingly integrated into the radiology community.

    Gender representation within radiology conferences in the UK in 2021.
    H Conley, E Lostis, A MacCormick, P Jenkins, N Gafoor.
       AIM: To examine the gender representation and equality within academic meetings and society conferences within the UK radiology conferences.
    MATERIALS AND METHODS: UK-based subspecialty radiology meetings organised by major radiological associations and societies (online and in-person) from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021 were included. Speakers and chairs were documented with reference to their gender, years on General Medical Council (GMC) register, academic publications, and h-index. Data were analysed using SPSS v27 (IBM, Armonk, NY, USA).
    RESULTS: Of 298 sessional chairs, 105 were female (35.2%). Of 639 speakers, 212 (33.2%) were female. Three subspecialties (interventional radiology, uro-radiology, and nuclear medicine) had a higher proportion of female speakers than the percentage of female consultants with specialist interest. Of the 71 invited international speakers, 28.2% (20/71) were female. Online conferences had a significantly greater proportion of female speakers (43.2% versus 24.1%, p<0.001) and chairs (48.7% versus 20.4%, p<0.001) compared to in person. Male speakers had a higher median number of publications (31 versus 12, p<0.0001) and median h-index (11 versus 4, p<0.001).
    CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that women are under-represented in radiology society meetings, particularly within certain subspecialty groups. Radiological societies should actively encourage a more balanced gender representation at conferences with online conference shown to improve female representation.

    The Quality and Quantity of Lower Genital Tract Research Across Multiple Journals.
    Michal Sheinis, Megan Macfarlane, Amanda Selk.
       OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the quantity and quality of lower genital tract disease (LGTD) research by topic published across a variety of gynecology and dermatology journals.
    METHODS: Authors accessed all articles that were rejected (1,111, 59.5%) and accepted (755, 40.5%) by the Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease (JLGTD) from 2008 to 2020. Studies were categorized by key topic: Cervix, Human Papillomavirus, Vulva, Vagina, Anal, and Other. Studies were further subcategorized based on methodology. These data were compared with all LGTD publications from 2018 to 2020 in 4 other widely recognized journals (Obstetrics and Gynecology, The British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, JAMA Dermatology, and the British Journal of Dermatology).
    RESULTS: Most JLGTD-accepted submissions were related to the cervix (298/755, 39.5%) and vulva (189/755, 25.0%). Rates of acceptance were similar across all key topic areas. Only 3.2% of publications in the other 4 journals (92/2,932) were related to LGTD topics. Across all 5 journals, vulva studies were most commonly case reports/case series (82/218, 37.6%), with a low prevalence of systematic reviews/meta-analyses (4/218 1.8%). In comparison, cervix studies had the highest number of systematic reviews/meta-analyses (14/317, 4.4%) and the lowest number of case reports (14/317, 4.4%).
    CONCLUSIONS: Vulvar research is of lower quality compared with cervix research published across 5 journals. Comparing accepted versus rejected articles in JLGTD, there is no publication bias against vulva topics noted; rather, the overall research quality in vulva is lower than that of cervical disease. This is a call to action for higher quality vulvar research.

    [Analysis of the development trend of burn discipline from the literature published in Chinese Journal of Burns in 22 years].
    Z Huang, Y L Li, W G Xie, M J Jiang, L Chen, M M Xi.
      Objective: To analyze the literature published in Chinese Journal of Burns (now Chinese Journal of Burns and Wounds) in the last 22 years, and to explore the development trend of burn discipline. Methods: The relevant clinical and research literature published in Chinese Journal of Burns from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2021 were retrieved through China National Knowledge Infrastructure database. Bibliometrics was used to classify and analyze the literature by research types, involved research fields, and reported causes of injury, and compare them every 3 years according to the year of publication (with literature published in 2021 being included in the last time period). Keywords of all the literature were retrieved, which were corrected and conversed later. CiteSpace 6.1.R2 software was used to visually cluster the included keywords, count high-frequency and high-centrality keywords, and divide the high-frequency keywords by time as before for segment comparison. Results: A total of 4 485 relevant papers were included, with an average of about 204 papers each year. The research types analysis of literature showed that clinical diagnosis and treatment literature had the highest proportion, reaching 65.3% (2 929/4 485), followed by cell experiment and animal experiment literature, accounting for 18.1% (812/4 485) and 13.2% (591/4 485), respectively. The proportion of various research types of the literature in each time period was basically stable. The analysis of the research fields involved in the literature showed that the literature in the field of systemic treatment of burns accounted for the highest proportion, reaching 60.2% (2 699/4 485), followed by the literature in the fields of acute wounds and plastic surgery, accounting for 20.2% (908/4 485) and 7.3% (326/4 485), respectively. The proportion of the literature in the field of systemic treatment of burns decreased from 84.0% (430/512) in 2000-2002 to 40.3% (373/926) in 2018-2021, with a decreasing proportion of 43.7%. While compared with that in 2000-2002, the proportions of literature in the fields of acute wounds, plastic surgery, chronic wounds, and burn rehabilitation were on the rise, with the proportions in 2018-2021 increased by 11.7%, 9.1%, 10.7%, and 5.5%, respectively. In the first 6 time periods, the number of literature in the field of discipline management was few and remained in single digits, but it increased to 49 in 2018-2021. Among the 1 099 literature in the field of systemic treatment of burns with a clear cause of injury, the literature on thermal burns was the most, accounting for 58.5% (643/1 099), followed by the literature on electrical burns and chemical burns, accounting for 19.8% (218/1 099) and 12.6% (138/1 099), respectively. The comparison by time period showed that the proportion of literature reporting thermal burns showed a significant downward trend, while the proportion of literature reporting other causes of injury did not change significantly. A total of 6 822 keywords from 2 236 literature were included for analysis. Visual cluster analysis showed that relevant studies focused on burns, surgical flaps, scars, and wound healing. The top 3 keywords in frequency were burns, wound healing, and surgical flaps, and the top 3 keywords in centrality were burns, scars, and skin transplantation. The comparison by time period showed that the only keyword with a stable frequency in the top 10 ranks was burns; with the passage of time, some keywords such as endotoxin/endotoxins and fibroblasts gradually dropped out of the top 10 ranks, while keywords such as wounds and injuries, surgical flaps, and negative-pressure wound therapy gradually entered the top 10 ranks. Conclusions: Among the literature published in Chinese Journal of Burns during the last 22 years, the literature on systemic treatment of burns and thermal burns has gradually decreased, while the literature on chronic wounds and burn rehabilitation has increased. Surgical flaps, wound healing, and scar prevention and treatment are the current research hot spots in burn discipline.

    Nexus between environmental disclosures and top management team characteristics: a systematic review.
    Hafiz Muhammad Arslan, Ye Chengang, Bushra Komal, Songsheng Chen.
      Voluntary nature of sustainability disclosures in most of the countries shifts focus of academicians towards discretion of top executives as a major determining force for firms to make their operations environmentally and socially sustainable. Based on two decade literature on the topic available at Scopus database this study aims to present a comprehensive knowledge map of intellectual structure on the relationship of top management characteristics on sustainability spending and disclosures. A bibliometric systematic review of 164 articles from 2002 to 2022 has been conducted with the help of VOSviewer and identified most influential journals, articles, and the countries whose corresponding authors have contributed in the field and influential research clusters in the literature. These research clusters are first, red cluster with 94 articles has discussed the upper echelon's personal and professional characteristics in relation to sustainability disclosures. Second, green cluster with 60 articles has discussed particularly the gender diversity in top executives and board of directors in relationship with sustainability disclosures. Third, blue cluster with 10 articles has elaborated the influence of independent directors on sustainability disclosures of corporate sector. The findings of this study will particularly help the regulators to make regulations regarding critical mass of female on boards and top management, family-owned firms, and politically connected directors. Moreover it will also help consultants, analysts, and investment bankers to differentiate firms with pressure-resistant and pressure-sensitive institutional investors. From this review shareholders can be very much clear in the selection of their representatives and ultimately the appointment of top management team. This study also provides an insight for future direction so that unexplored dimension of this field may further be discovered by upcoming researchers.

    Gender distribution of editors and authors of reference textbooks in anatomic pathology: further edits are required.
    Carlos Parra-Herran, Francesca Khani, Sara E Wobker.
      Compared to other medical specialties, pathology has a significant number of women in the academic workforce (43%). Gender disparities, particularly those disadvantaging women, are a reality in academic medicine with documented inequalities in salary, leadership opportunities, and faculty promotion. One important element of academic advancement is the recognition obtained when serving as editor or main author of reference textbooks. We aimed to document the gender distribution of editors/authors in anatomic pathology by surveying 205 subspecialty publications over a 20-year period. Gender of each editor/author was recorded after surveying their institutional or other professional biographies. When biography was non-contributory, gender was extracted from the National Provider Identifier Database. A total of 462 editors/authors were identified: 275 (59.5%) men and 187 (40.5%) women. This distribution was similar to the 2015 (39% women) and 2019 (43.4% women) Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) benchmark for US academic pathologists. The gender distribution in each of the main anatomic pathology subspecialties was estimated by surveying the websites of 20 North American academic pathology departments (totaling 1893 listed individuals). Compared to this benchmark, some subspecialties had more men in editor/author roles than their representation in academic departments including Dermatopathology (observed vs expected difference, ∆ = 41.3%), Genitourinary Pathology (∆ = 29.4%), Renal & Transplant Pathology (∆ = 22.4%) and Head & Neck Pathology (∆ = 21.6%). Other subspecialties had more women in editor/author roles than their representation in academic departments including Molecular Pathology (∆ = 31.4%), Gastrointestinal Pathology (∆ = 21.4%), and Bone & Soft Tissue Pathology (∆ = 19.4%). Editors/authors of multiple (>1) publications were frequent and skewed gender representation in most specialties. The overall gender distribution of editor/author roles is similar to that of the US pathology workforce. However, significant disparities exist in certain subspecialties affecting both women and men. This landscape can guide efforts by editors, publishers, and academic institutions to bring equity to the academic field by providing fair editorial and authorship opportunities to academic pathologists.

      Improper disposal of animal waste is responsible for several environmental problems, causing eutrophication of lakes and rivers, nutrient overload in the soil, and the spread of pathogenic organisms. Despite the potential to cause adverse ecological damage, animal waste can be a valuable source of resources if incorporated into a circular concept. In this sense, new approaches focused on recovery and reuse as substitutes for traditional processes based on removing contaminants in animal manure have gained attention from the scientific community. Based on this, the present work reviewed the literature on the subject, performing a bibliometric and scientometric analysis of articles published in peer-reviewed journals between 1991 and 2021. Of the articles analyzed, the main issues addressed were nitrogen and phosphorus recovery, energy generation, high-value-added products, and water reuse. The energy use of livestock waste stands out since it is characterized as a consolidated solution, unlike other routes still being developed, presenting the economic barrier as the main limiting factor. Analyzing the trend of technological development through the S curve, it was possible to verify that the circular economy in the management of animal waste will enter the maturation phase as of 2036 and decline in 2056, which demonstrates opportunities for the sector's development, where animal waste can be an economic agent, promoting a cleaner and more viable product for a sustainable future.

    Knowledge Development Trajectories of Crime Prevention Domain: An Academic Study Based on Citation and Main Path Analysis.
    Song-Chia Hsu, Kai-Ying Chen, Chih-Ping Lin, Wei-Hao Su.
      This study performed main path analysis to explore the academic field of crime prevention. Studies were collected from the Web of Science database, and main path analysis was used to analyze the studies and identify influential authors and journals on the basis of the g-index and h-index. Cluster analysis was then performed to group studies with related themes. Wordle was used to output keywords and word clouds for each cluster, both of which were used as reference to name each cluster. Five clusters were identified, namely crime displacement control, crime prevention through environmental design, developmental crime prevention, the effects of communalism on crime prevention, and the effect of childhood sexual abuse on crime. Each cluster was analyzed, and suggestions based on the results are provided. The main purpose of crime prevention is to advance our understanding of the psychological criminal mechanisms (i.e., personal, social and environmental impacts) associated with different criminal behaviors at the intersection of law by using main path analysis.

    Factors associated with the expansion of leishmaniasis in urban areas: a systematic and bibliometric review (1959-2021).
    Marília Schutz Borges, Luana Budny Niero, Laíse Dimer Sant'ana da Rosa, Vanilde Citadini-Zanette, Guilherme Alves Elias, Patrícia de Aguiar Amaral.
      This work describes a systematic and bibliometric review of the factors that contribute to the expansion of leishmaniasis in urban areas. Three scientific databases were used: Scientific Electronic Library (SciELO), Scopus and Web of Science, encompassing all original and review articles between 1959 and 2021. Three descriptors were used: "leishmaniasis" AND "urban" AND "rural." Planning, execution, summarization, and selection processes were performed using StArt (State of the Art through Systematic Review) software. We obtained a total of 304 articles, 60 of which concerned canine leishmaniasis. The factors associated with the expansion of leishmaniasis in urban areas are interrelated, including socioenvironmental and economic complexity, the type of leishmaniasis, the reservoirs, vectors, deforestation, disorderly occupation of space, poor sanitary conditions, and human migration trends. A lack of diagnosis and underreporting of cases in some regions may reflect the increase of cases seen in urban areas. A majority (n = 121) of studies were conducted in Brazil, followed by Iran (n = 43). In relation to publications; in general, output has increased over the years, particularly in 2021. The majority of published studies were in the area of epidemiology (n = 158).
