“…The current bibliometric analysis has certain limitations. Most of our limitations align with previously published bibliometric analysis [25][26][27]. VOSviewer cluster maps were constructed without filtering articles by titles or abstract screening, which may result in inaccuracies in the keyword and author collaboration results.…”

Monkeypox is a rare zoonotic disease caused by the monkeypox virus, which spreads by direct contact mainly, thus having the propensity to cause future epidemics. The current review aimed to provide an up-todate literature analysis for evaluating scientific data on monkeypox. A bibliometric analysis was conducted through eight electronic databases. The search period was from May 2022 to December 2023. All the articles were exported to Mendeley (Elsevier, Amsterdam, Netherlands). The literature search resulted in 415 relevant research articles. The growth of publications gradually rose, initiated in January 2022, leading to a rapid upsurge in May 2022. A total of 409 documents reported the number of citations, with two articles documenting the highest number, ranging from 146-150 and 216-220. The European region (EURO) dominated in publishing research articles on monkeypox, with the United States having the highest number of reports (n = 41; 9.87%), followed by the United Kingdom (n = 35; 8.43%) and Italy (n = 15; 3.61%). There were 82 funding agencies that funded 44 research articles, whereas 371 were not funded by any funding agency. Our analysis has presented the outline of the research articles published on monkeypox virusrelated literature during the current outbreak. Research articles should be financially and administratively supported. Future research is required to expand research on the monkeypox virus, as there is a growing demand for original articles.

“…Based on bibliometric and visual analysis, it is possible to determine the development trends and hot spots in this field. Our analysis has several limitations, similar to other bibliometric analyses [ 55 , 56 ]. First, all of our publications were derived from the WOS database, while other databases, such as PubMed, were not searched, and literature from other databases could not be combined.…”

Studies Related to Ruptured Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms in the Past 10 Years (2011-2020): A Bibliometric Analysis

Background Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms have been a topic of common global interest for the past 20 years, with a steadily increasing number of publications. The purpose of this study was to explore the research themes and the current status of the last 10 years through a bibliometric analysis of the publications in this field. Material/Methods We performed a literature search for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms using the Web of Science Core Collection on November 14, 2021 and performed a bibliometric analysis and visualization of the results of the publications using the R-Bibliometrix package and VOSviewer software. Results From 2011 to 2020, 2381 publications were retrieved, including 2073 articles and 308 reviews. The United States had the highest number of publications and has made a large contribution to the field. Jonathan Golledge is an important researcher with the highest number of publications. Journal of Vascular Surgery is ranked first in terms of the number of publications and local citations. Mortality and outcomes, repair treatment, and risk factors are the 3 main focuses in the field, followed by intraluminal thrombus and molecular expression. Conclusions Our bibliometric analysis suggests mainstream research is focused on clinical studies related to the surgical approach and its prognosis and on pathological mechanisms and hemodynamic studies related to risk factors for abdominal aortic aneurysms rupture. There are many other opportunities for future research in the clinical joint basis of abdominal aortic aneurysms rupture.

“…Normalizing the number of publications by different indicators appeared to be of extreme importance, as suggested by several studies [17][18][19][20][21]. These indicators are the population size, average GDP, and DALYs.…”

BackgroundLittle is known about self-mutilation and suicide-related research in the Arab world. AimWe aim to quantify research activity related to suicide and self-mutilation, according to socio-economic factors, and assess inter-regional collaborations and trends of topics in the Arab world in the last 16 years. MethodsA search was conducted through the PubMed database to find articles related to suicide and self-mutilation, according to author affiliation in the 22 Arab countries between 2004 and 2019 (inclusive), and standardized according to mean population, suicide, and self-mutilation disability associated life years (DALY), and gross domestic product (GDP). VOS Viewer was used for keyword and organization co-occurrence analysis. ResultsOnly 0.61% of articles related to suicide and self-mutilation published between 2004 and 2019 were of Arab origin, compared to 1.76% in South America and 7.94% in Far East Asia. Suicide and self-mutilation articles make up 0.09% of the total publications in the Arab region. Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Lebanon had the highest number of published articles related to suicide and self-mutilation. When comparing publications per million persons, Lebanon and Kuwait ranked first with 5.15 and 3.40 publications per million persons. Lebanon showed the highest number of publications per USD billion GDP, with 0.75 publications. The highest number of publications per 1% self-injury-related DALY was recorded in Saudi Arabia, with 46.97 publications. In recent years, VOS Viewer revealed poor inter-regional collaborations and a modest but increasing trend towards depression, poisoning, and cross-sectional studies. ConclusionDespite increasing publications, the region still lags in terms of suicide and self-mutilation research activity. A pan-Arab strategy should be implemented to refine suicide-related research and increase mental health awareness.
