“…The analysis of collaborative network of authors among different countries and regions can contribute to the understanding of the structure and dynamics of research networks. Previous research indicated that academic research has become increasingly collaborative [ 15 ], and international collaboration can generally produce publications with higher citation rates and therefore a greater research impact, than purely domestic production [ 16 ]. In this study, we observed clear patterns of international collaborative activities that focalized mainly among the United States of America, Switzerland, France, and Canada.…”

Objective: Trabecular bone score (TBS) is a novel index for assessing bone microarchitecture quality. No bibliometric reviews to date have yet explored the literature of TBS. Therefore, this study aimed to provide a bibliometric review on the trends of research publications on TBS indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded and the Social Sciences Citation Index from 2008 to 2019. Materials and Methods: Using the Science Citation Index Expanded and the Social Sciences Citation Index, articles designated as original articles or review articles were searched using the keyword “trabecular bone score.” The retrieved articles were analyzed using Histcite 12.03.17 and VOSviewer v. 1.6.15 to identify top authors, journals, countries, and occurrence of keywords. Results: A total of 430 original and review articles on TBS published between 2008 and 2019 were identified. The number of articles increased steadily from 2008 to 2019, reaching 80 articles in 2019 alone. The United States of America, Switzerland, and France were the countries with the highest output of publications. The journal Osteoporosis International published the largest number of articles on TBS. Analysis of co-occurrence of author-supplied keywords revealed four clusters, with TBS, bone mineral density, and osteoporosis as the most prominent keywords. Conclusion: This bibliometric study on TBS published between 2008 and 2019 revealed the collaborative network of countries and the highly published journals and authors. Co-occurrence of keywords also revealed clusters of research hotspots, which could contribute to the understanding of the current state of TBS research and the identification of research gap.

“…The analysis included authors' addresses, productivity parameters (authors, institutions, year of publication, article type, language, journal) and citation. Recent studies in the field of bibliometric analysis especially in social sciences and humanities have pointed out to high share of publishing articles primarily oriented to local or regional topics (Makkonen and Mitze 2016;Abrizah, Xu and Nicholas 2017;Jurajda et al 2017;Tang, Zhang and Naumann 2017). These topics are mostly published in journals and monographs with local or regional impact for limited number of readers.…”
