BackgroundTranslational medical research literature has increased rapidly in the last few decades and played a more and more important role during the development of medicine science. The main aim of this study is to evaluate the global performance of translational medical research during the past few decades.MethodsBibliometric, social network analysis, and visualization technologies were used for analyzing translational medical research performance from the aspects of subject categories, journals, countries, institutes, keywords, and MeSH terms. Meanwhile, the co-author, co-words and cluster analysis methods were also used to trace popular topics in translational medical research related work.ResultsResearch output suggested a solid development in translational medical research, in terms of increasing scientific production and research collaboration. We identified the core journals, mainstream subject categories, leading countries, and institutions in translational medical research. There was an uneven distribution of publications at authorial, institutional, and national levels. The most commonly used keywords that appeared in the articles were “translational research”, “translational medicine”, “biomarkers”, “stroke”, “inflammation”, “cancer”, and “breast cancer”.ConclusionsThe subject categories of “Research & Experimental Medicine”, “Medical Laboratory Technology”, and “General & Internal Medicine” play a key role in translational medical research both in production and in its networks. Translational medical research and CTS, etc. are core journals of translational research. G7 countries are the leading nations for translational medical research. Some developing countries, such as P.R China, also play an important role in the communication of translational research. The USA and its institutions play a dominant role in the production, collaboration, citations and high quality articles. The research trends in translational medical research involve drug design and development, pathogenesis and treatment of disease, disease model research, evidence-based research, and stem and progenitor cells.

“…Previous studies of family studies literature primarily provided reviews on the specific themes or trends in the field, such as sex and sex research (Jones, Johnson, Wenglein, & Elshershaby, 2019), stepparent-child relationship quality (Jensen & Howard, 2015), work and family (Perry-Jenkins & Gerstel, 2020), or an evaluation of a particular journal such as Journal of Family and Economic Issues (Dew, 2008). Although there were some bibliometric studies of the family studies literature, they focused on global research trends on child maltreatment (Tran et al, 2018), global research trends and performance in family therapy (Lou & Lin, 2012) or a bibliometric analysis of a single journal (Bayer, 1982). Thus, comprehensive assessments of family studies journals are lacking.…”

Although there are bibliometric studies of journals in various fields, the field of family studies remains unexplored. Using the bibliometric metrics of the two-year and five-year Journal Impact Factors, the H-index, and the newly revised CiteScore, this paper examines the relationships among these metrics in a bibliometric study of forty-four representative family studies journals. The citation data were drawn from Journal Citation Reports, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The correlation analysis found strong positive relationships on the metrics. Despite the strong correlations, discrepancies in rank orders of the journals were found. A possible explanation of noticeable discrepancy in rankings was provided, and the implications of the study for stakeholders were discussed.

Research in Integrated Health Care and Publication Trends from the Perspective of Global Informatics

Background Integrated care has gained popularity in recent decades and is advocated by the World Health Organization. This study examined the global progress, current foci, and the future of integrated care. Methods We conducted a scientometric analysis of data exported from the Web of Science database. Publication number and citations, co-authorship between countries and institutions and cluster analysis were calculated and clustered using Histcite12.03.07 and VOS viewer1.6.4. Results We retrieved 6127 articles from 1997 to 2016. We found the following. (1) The United States, United Kingdom, and Canada had the most publications, citations, and productive institutions. (2) The top 10 cited papers and journals were crucial for knowledge distribution. (3) The 50 author keywords were clustered into 6 groups: digital medicine and e-health, community health and chronic disease management, primary health care and mental health, healthcare system for infectious diseases, healthcare reform and qualitative research, and social care and health policy services. Conclusions This paper confirmed that integrated care is undergoing rapid development: more categories are involved and collaborative networks are being established. Various research foci have formed, such as economic incentive mechanisms for integration, e-health data mining, and quantitative studies. There is an urgent need to develop performance measurements for policies and models.
