A bibliometric analysis: Current status and frontier trends of Schwann cells in neurosciences

Abstract

BackgroundThis review aims to present a comprehensive bibliometric analysis related to Schwann cells (SCs) in neurosciences from 2012 to 2021.MethodsWe used the Web of Science core collection database to obtain publications on SCs in the field of neurosciences from 2012 to 2021. The obtained data were further visually analyzed by using CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and an online bibliometric platform.ResultsWe retrieved a total of 1,923 publications related to SCs in neurosciences. The number of publications in this field fluctuates steadily each year, and the number of citations is increasing year by year. The United States is leading the field, with LERU and the University OF London as influential institutions, Jessen KR and Feltri ML as the most representative authors, and GLIA and JOURNAL OF NEUROSCIENCE as authoritative journals in the field. Meanwhile, we predict that a more in-depth study of autophagy and phagocytosis functions of SCs and the key regulator c-Jun will probably be a hot spot for future research.ConclusionThis study summarizes the current research results and predicts research trends for further research, which will facilitate researchers in quickly understanding the current state of research in the field while referring to new research directions.

Bibliometric and Visualization Analysis of Research Hotspots and Frontiers in Endoscopic Lumbar Discectomy

“…References burst refers to the phenomenon where certain papers are frequently cited within a specific period of time. 44 , 45 Through the analysis of burst literature, we can gain insights into the hot research topics during that period. 46 , 47 In this study, by setting the minimum burst duration to 3 years, we detected the top 30 references with high burst strength, as shown in Figure 12 .…”

“…Meanwhile, Table 7 provides the relevant information of the top 10 most frequently cited publications, indicating to some extent the main research content in this field. Document bursts refer to those publications with sudden increases in citation frequency within a brief span of time, and analyzing these publications can provide valuable insights into recent research hotspots and emerging trends within a particular field ( Liu Z. et al, 2023 ; Wang Y. et al, 2023 ). In this study, we set the duration of document burst to 4 years and filtered out 30 references with high strength of burst, as shown in Figure 8 .…”
