Mapping Knowledge Structure and Research Frontiers of Ultrasound-Induced Blood-Brain Barrier Opening: A Scientometric Study

Abstract: 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 emerg… Show more

“…The larger the value is, the better the clustering result of the network. Another indicator was the silhouette value, which was used to measure the network homogeneity ( 47 , 48 ). As shown in Figure 5B , the modular Q value was 0.7218, and the mean silhouette S value was also as high as 0.9248, indicating that the clustering effect and network homogeneity were satisfactory.…”

“…The results of correlation analysis indicated that part of the discrepancy in the quantity of publications across different countries can be explained by factors of economy or population. The H-index is a bibliometric indicator that simultaneously measures the quality (mainly depends on citations) and quantity (number of documents) of publications in a journal, author, or country [ 19 , 26 ]. In this study, the USA, China, and Japan were the top three countries with the highest H-index.…”

“…Nevertheless, inter-institutional cooperation levels were relatively low and primarily conducted in Asian research institutions. Furthermore, none of the institutions had BC value greater than 0.1, indicating that there was no one institution occupied the absolutely central position in the collaboration network [ 17 , 19 ]. In view of this, strengthening cooperative networks in different research institutions or teams will be important for future studies whether for basic scientific researches or clinical trials.…”
