“…VOS viewer software is a scientometric visualization tool developed by Professor Eck and Waltman from Leiden University in the Netherlands using the Java language, which could visualize the knowledge structure, regularity, and distribution of scientific publications (van-Eck and Waltman, 2010 ). It has been widely adopted for bibliometric analysis in a variety of scientific fields since its introduction (Wang et al, 2020 ; Yeung et al, 2021 ). In our study, the version of VOS viewer 1.6.16 (available at: http://vosviewer.com ) was used to perform country/institution citation analysis, journal/author/reference co-citation analysis, and keyword co-occurrence analysis, and related knowledge maps were constructed.…”

“…(i) First, since our study is based on a single database from WoSCC, an implication is that we might have missed some relevant publications from other databases. Nevertheless, different databases have different ways to count the frequency of citations, thus it is not appropriate to merge various data from different databases, and most of the previous scientometric studies were conducted only by one single database (Teles et al, 2018 ; Yeung et al, 2018 ; Wang et al, 2020 ), and the reasons why we chose WoSCC have been described in detail previously ( Data Source ). (ii) Second, our study is focusing only on English literature, which leads to a certain deviation in the results of this study.…”

“…It primarily focuses on the metrological properties of literature, like publication numbers, citation frequency, and cooperative relationships, so that the researchers can identify core entities and development trends in a specific subject or research domain and provide new insights and directions for future research. Currently, a variety of visualization tools including HistCite (Guo et al, 2020 ), VOS viewer (van-Eck and Waltman, 2010 ), R-bibliometrix (Ke et al, 2020 ), and CiteSpace (Synnestvedt et al, 2005 ) are freely available for scientometric analysis, and it has been widely employed in various areas, such as artificial intelligence (Guo et al, 2020 ), nanomedicine (Teles et al, 2018 ), stem cells (Zhao et al, 2018 ), immune molecules (Wang et al, 2020 ), and ethnopharmacology (Yeung et al, 2018 ). However, to the best of our knowledge, no existing study has yet specifically analyzed the knowledge structure and research frontiers in the field of ultrasound-induced BBB opening.…”

Background: Among the effective approaches developed for blood-brain barrier (BBB) opening, ultrasound is recognized as a non-invasive technique that can induce localized BBB opening transiently and repeatedly. This technique has aroused broad attention from researchers worldwide, and numerous articles have been published recently. However, no existing study has systematically examined this field from a scientometric perspective. The aim of this study was to summarize the knowledge structure and identify emerging trends and potential hotspots in this field.Methods: Publications related to ultrasound-induced BBB opening published from 1998 to 2020 were retrieved from Web of Science Core Collection. The search strategies were as follows: topic: (“blood brain barrier” OR “BBB”) AND topic: (ultrasound OR ultrason* OR acoustic* OR sonopora*). The document type was set to articles or reviews with language restriction to English. Three different analysis tools including one online platform, VOS viewer1.6.16, and CiteSpace V5.7.R2 software were used to conduct this scientometric study.Results: A total of 1,201 valid records were included in the final analysis. The majority of scientific publication was produced by authors from North America, Eastern Asia, and Western Europe. Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology was the most prominent journal. The USA, China, and Canada were the most productive countries. Hynynen K, and Mcdannold N were key researchers with considerable academic influence. According to analysis of keywords, four main research directions were identified: cluster 1 (microbubbles study), cluster 2 (management of intracranial tumors), cluster 3 (ultrasound parameters and mechanisms study), and cluster 4 (treatment of neurodegenerative diseases). The current research hotspot has shifted from the basic research of ultrasound and microbubbles to management of intracranial tumors and neurodegenerative diseases. Burst detection analysis showed that Parkinson's disease, doxorubicin, gold nanoparticle, glioblastoma, gene therapy, and Alzheimer's disease may continue to be the research frontiers.Conclusion: Ultrasound-induced BBB opening research is in a period of robust development. This study is a starting point, providing a comprehensive overview, development landscape, and future opportunities of this technology, which standout as a useful reference for researchers and decision makers interested in this area.

“…Bibliometric analysis is a novel scientific method used to evaluate contributions to a research field, including those by countries, institutions, authors, and journals. Further, bibliometric analysis can predict the hotspots and trends within a certain research area through information visualization (17)(18)(19).

A Bibliometric Analysis of Primary Aldosteronism Research From 2000 to 2020

Thousands of papers on primary aldosteronism (PA) have been published in the last two decades. This study aimed to evaluate the research hotspots and future trends in PA research using bibliometric analysis. A total of 2,365 PA research papers between 2000 and 2020 were included. The dominant position of the United States in global PA research throughout this 20-year period was evident, and it was also the country most frequently involved in international cooperation. The University of Padua was the most productive institution and a leader in research collaboration. The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism was the most productive journal in terms of the number of publications on PA. Further, Mulatero P, Reincke M, Beuschlein F and Wu VC all made significant contributions to PA research. Five hotspots have been identified: (1) metabolic syndrome associated with PA; (2) molecular mechanisms of PA; (3) adrenal adenoma and adrenal cortex; (4) hypertension associated with PA; and (5) clinical monitoring parameters and diagnosis in patients with PA. Our results suggest that the molecular mechanisms of PA will remain research hotspots in the future. International collaboration is also expected to widen and deepen in the field of PA research.

Background: Thousands of papers on acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) have been published in the last decade. This study aimed to evaluate the research hotspots and future trends in ARDS research using bibliometric analysis. Methods: All relevant literature on ARDS published between 2010 and 2019 was retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database, and the retrieval strategy was TS = (ARDS OR acute respiratory distress syndrome). Bibliometric analysis was conducted using VOSviewer and the online bibliometric analysis platform based on retrieved data. Bibliographic Item Co-occurrence Matrix Builder (BICOMB) and gCLUTO software were used to evaluate and visualize the results, and to explore the hotspots in the field of ARDS. Results: A total of 9,858 ARDS research articles dated between 2010 and 2019 were included. The dominant position of the United States in global ARDS research throughout this 10-year period was evident, and it was also the country most frequently involved in international cooperation. The University of Toronto was the most productive institution and a leader in research collaboration. Critical Care Medicine was the most productive journal in terms of the number of publications on ARDS. Further, Matthay MA, Pelosi P, Slutsky AS, and Thompson BT all made significant contributions to ARDS research. A total of 37 most frequent keywords were identified and belonged to 5 hotspots: (I) adult and pediatric ARDS; (II) life-support monitoring parameters and therapy in severe patients with ARDS; (III) molecular mechanisms of acute lung injury; (IV) influenza-related pneumonia; and (V) severe complications of ARDS. Also, in the last 5 years, the keywords "biomarkers", "pathway", "NF-κB", "epidemiology", "life-support", and "ECMO" began to appear in the ARDS research field. Conclusions: In the decade from 2010 to 2019, the United States was a global leader in ARDS research, and hotspots included epidemiology, mechanisms, monitoring parameters, and therapy, especially mechanical ventilation. Our results suggest that the mechanisms of ARDS and novel life-support therapies will remain research hotspots in the future. International collaboration is also expected to widen and deepen in the field of ARDS research.
