COVID-19 from the perspective of otorhinolaryngology: An analysis of bibliometrics

Abstract

BackgroundSince it began in December 2019, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has not been completely contained. COVID-19 has attracted the interest of nations throughout the globe. The global coronavirus outbreak has had an especially devastating effect on otolaryngology. The virus is commonly associated with otorhinolaryngological symptoms. COVID-19 research is becoming more common in otorhinolaryngology. Although various studies on covid-19-related Otorhinolaryngology manifestations have been published, there has been no bibliometric analysis of these articles concentrating on COVID-19-related Otorhinolaryngology research.MethodsOriginal publications on Otolaryngological symptoms on COVID-19 were extracted from the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) and the Science Citation Index-Expanded (SCI-E) databases in Clarivate Analytics' Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) between January 2020 and May 2022. CiteSpace and VOSviewer were utilized to detect and assess the research focus and trends in this field by extracting the country/region, institution, author, journal, references, and keywords related to this topic.ResultsA total of 631 journals from 97 countries were included in the total of 1,528 articles. Most of the articles on this topic were published in the United States, which had the most citations and the highest H-index. Huazhong University of Science and Technology is the institution with the largest number of articles in the research of COVID-19-related Otorhinolaryngology diseases. Claire Hopkins was the most prolific author belonging to Guy's and St. Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust. Huang CL from Jin Yin-tan Hospital received the most citations among all authors. The most cited article was Clinical features of patients infected with 2019 novel coronavirus in Wuhan, China, which was created by Huang CL. Most of the studies relating to COVID-19 and Otorhinolaryngology diseases were published in the European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology.ConclusionCOVID-related research in the field of otorhinolaryngology has been studied in terms of descriptive quantitative metrics, which show that academics from around the world are working together to combat this pandemic.

Global research on emerging trends of obstetrics during the COVID-19 pandemic: A bibliometric analysis

“…The article “ Clinical characteristics and intrauterine vertical transmission potential of COVID-19 Infection in nine pregnant women: a retrospective review of medical records ,” published by Chen et al, was also ranked the first among co-cited articles in 2 bibliometric analyses of COVID-19 research. [ 23 , 43 ] This clinical trial conducted in the early stages of the outbreak played a crucial role in subsequent research and became the cornerstone of research in this field. It is worth noting that no Chinese authors are among the top 10 authors in terms of the number of publications, indicating that COVID-19 research in China may focus more on infected patients than the association between obstetric diseases and COVID-19.…”

Analysis of research hotspots in COVID-19 genomics based on citespace software: Bibliometric analysis

“…found through visual analysis of bibliometrics that the research cluster in China was “quantitative testing” and the United States was “biological assessment” ( Okhovati and Arshadi, 2021 ). There are also the bibliometric statistics of COVID-19 from the perspectives of the eyes ( Sánchez-Tena et al., 2021 ) and ENT department ( Wang et al., 2022 ). We performed statistical and visual analysis of COVID-19 genomics by searching the 2019-2022, countries, institutions, authors, journals, coreferences and keywords.…”

A bibliometric study of the nasopharyngeal cancer immunotherapy knowledge map

“…Bibliometric analysis employs citation counts as an assessment metric to evaluate research quality, and can analyze trends in research outputs through statistical and qualitative assessment. [10] It provides a way to understand trends in each field and rank academic groups and individuals by objectively assessing their contributions through a comprehensive analysis of citations to countries and other aspects. [11][12][13] To date, bibliometric studies on NPC immunotherapy knowledge maps have not Xie et al • Medicine (2024) 103: 16 Medicine been published.…”
