A bibliometric analysis of the 100 most influential papers on peritoneal dialysis

Abstract

Background: We aimed to identify the 100 most cited articles published on peritoneal dialysis (PD) and analyze their characteristics to provide information on the achievements and developments of PD research over the past decades. Methods: The Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) in the Web of Science Core Collection was comprehensively searched from 2000 to 2018, using the keywords “Peritoneal dialysis” or “Dialyses, Peritoneal” or “Dialysis, Peritoneal” or “Peritoneal Dialyses”. The top 100 cited articles were retrieved by reading titles and abstracts. Significant information was further elicited, including the authors, journals, countries, institutions, and publication year. Results: The United States was the most productive country (n = 51), Li Pkt published the highest number of papers (n = 7), the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology produced the highest number of contributions (n = 28), and Baxter International Inc., the University of California System, and the University of Toronto were the institutions with the highest number of articles (n = 10). Conclusions: This is the first bibliometric study to identify the most influential papers in PD research. This report describes the major changes and advances in research regarding PD as a guide for writing a citable article.

Authors who contributed most to the fields of hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis since 2011 using the hT-index: Bibliometric analysis

“…The United States (37.15), China (34.63), and Japan (28.09) had the highest hT-index in HD/PD articles, indicating that the hT-index taking into account all publications and citations can be utilized in academics and practices, especially when used in conjunction with radar diagrams to compare authors and institutes at a glance. The results are consistent with the findings in previous studies: authors from the United States were present in 30.6% of 7618 PD papers in 887 journals (6991 articles and 627 reviews), [31] and the United States was the most productive country (n = 51) of the 100 most influential papers on peritoneal dialysis, [32] IRAs dominated by the United States had been verified. The Collatz data are in the upper triangle; the HD/PD data in the lower triangle; the h T -index is more similar to the h-index.…”

“…The articles published by the 2 prolific authors were doted on the dashboard-type IBP, as shown in Figure 7 , [ 50 ] in lieu of the 100 articles on PD listed in a bibliometric study. [ 32 ] Using the IBP is unique and modern and never seen before in the literature. The impact IBP displays the author document profile in a single view and shows more context than a single metric, such as a citation metric (or the h-index), which provides us with bibliometrics.…”

“…The use of bibliometrics and visual analysis has been applied in a number of disciplines, [ 26 ] including anesthesiology, ophthalmology, stomatology, and obstetrics and gynecology, [ 27 – 30 ] yet no bibliometric articles have been published on the authors who have contributed the most to HD/PD. Although authors from the United States were present in 30.6% of 7618 PD papers in 887 journals (6991 articles and 627 reviews) [ 31 ] and the United States was the most productive country (n = 51) of the 100 most influential papers on peritoneal dialysis, [ 32 ] IRAs (taking both publications and citations into account) dominated by the United States should be verified further.…”

Research features between Urology and Nephrology authors in articles regarding UTI related to CKD, HD, PD, and renal transplantation

“…Thirty-six percent of the 7618 papers on peritoneal dialysis published in 887 journals were written by American authors (6991 articles and 627 reviews), [ 68 ] and the United States was the most productive country (n = 51) among the top 100 influential papers on peritoneal dialysis. [ 69 ] In HD/PD articles, the United States had the highest hT index (=37.15) compared to many other countries. These results are consistent with our findings regarding the dominance of the United States in articles regarding CHPR-related UTI since 2013 (hT-JIF = 38.30).…”

Classification and citation analysis of the 100 top-cited articles on nurse resilience using chord diagrams: A bibliometric analysis

“…Moreover, many articles include many tables and graphs in bibliometrics without utilizing radar plots and chord diagrams to condense information that is of interest to readers, as we did in Figures 1 and 2, especially using the dot plot in Figure 5 to display all those T100NurseR articles on a dashboard and save space compared to those with 100 and 50 articles listed in their studies [67,68] or 42 tables and graphs in an article. [69] To visualize dynamics related to contraceptive use and to apply data, chord diagrams [36,[38][39][40] were used.…”
