“…Although some previously published studies used a bibliometric approach to examine psycho-oncology-related specific domains ( Fox et al, 2021 ). However, to the best of our knowledge, there is a lack of a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of psycho-oncology-related publications indexed in the Scopus ® database from inception up to 31 December 2021.…”

Background and AimPsycho-oncology is a cross-disciplinary and collaborative sub-specialty of oncology that focuses on the psychological, behavioral, ethical, and social aspects of cancer in clinical settings. The aim of this bibliometric study was to analyze and characterize the research productivity and trends in psycho-oncology between 1980 and 2021.MethodologyIn May 2022, the Scopus® database was searched for psycho-oncology-related publications using predetermined search keywords with specific restrictions. Lotka’s law was applied to check the authors’ productivity, while Bradford’s law was used to assess the core journals in this field. The data was analyzed for different bibliometric indicators in the Biblioshiny package, an RStudio tool for bibliometric analysis.ResultsThe initial search resulted in a total of 2,906 publications. Of which, 1,832 publications were included in the final analysis, published between 1980 and 2021. The analyzed publications were written by 7,363 authors from 74 countries and published in 490 journals. There has been a significant increase in psycho-oncology-related publications after 2010. The most productive year was 2021 (n = 365). The annual scientific growth rate was found to be 13.9%. The most relevant leading author in terms of publications was Luigi Grassi from the University of Ferrara, Italy (n = 42). Lotka’s law found that the number of authors declined as the number of papers written increased. The core journals were Psycho-Oncology, Supportive Care in Cancer, and Journal of Psychosocial Oncology. The most frequently used author’s keywords other than searching keywords were cancer, oncology, quality of life, depression, and anxiety. Recent psycho-oncology-related topics included mental health, COVID-19 infection in humans, people, pandemic, and tumor. The University of Sydney was the top-ranked institution. The leading country in terms of publications, citations, corresponding author country, and international collaboration was the United States of America (United States). The United States had the strongest collaboration with Australia and Canada.ConclusionThe research hotspots include mental health conditions and interventions in cancer patients. We identified international collaboration and research expenditure to be strongly associated with psycho-oncology research productivity. Researchers’ collaboration, which is visible among developed countries, should be extended to low-income countries in order to expand psycho-oncology-related research and understanding.

“…The leading WOS categories focused on "Clinical Neurology" and "Neurosciences, " with few interdisciplinary studies. Resulting from its interdisciplinary nature, Psycho-Oncology has been subject to extensive interdisciplinary research, which has provided great help for the development of the discipline (Fox et al, 2021). Therefore, we look forward to more interdisciplinary research.…”

“…Despite citation analysis across a broad range of neurosciences (Yeung et al, 2017), there is limited information in the field of AD and epilepsy, with few published studies. Citation counting is an important metric to understand the significance of the contribution of research to a research field (Fox et al, 2021). Previous reviews only relied on individuals to study the research through literature summary and extraction, and thus cannot fully reflect the temporal and spatial distribution of researchers, institutions, and journals.…”

BackgroundAlzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the common neurodegenerative diseases, which often coexists with epilepsy. It is very significant to study the treatment options and the relationship between AD and epilepsy.AimsThe purpose of this study was to analyze the top 100 cited papers about AD and epilepsy using bibliometrics, and to describe the current situation and predict research hot spots.MethodsTop 100 papers were obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). The WoSCC was used to analyze the author, institution, country, title, keywords, abstract, citation, subject category, publication year, impact factor (IF), and other functions. SPSS25 software was used for statistical analysis and CiteSpace V.5.7.R2 was used to visualize the information through collaborative networks.ResultsThe number of publications gradually increased from 2000 to 2021. The total citation count for the top 100 papers ranged from 15 to 433(mean = 67.43). The largest number of papers were published in 2016 (n = 11). Meanwhile, USA (centrality: 0.93) and Columbia University (centrality: 0.06) were the most influential research country and institutions, respectively. The top contributing journals was Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease (8%). The IF for journals ranged from 1.819 to 53.44. A network analysis of the author’s keywords showed that “beta” (centrality: 0.39), “amyloid beta” (centrality: 0.29), “hyperexcitability” (centrality: 0.29) and “disease” (centrality: 0.29) had a high degree of centrality.ConclusionAD and epilepsy have been intensively studied in the past few years. The relationships, mechanisms and treatment of AD and epilepsy will be subjects of active research hotpots in future. These findings provide valuable information for clinicians and scientists to identify new perspectives with potential collaborators and cooperative countries.

“…Bibliometric analysis of Inquiry research trends provides an appropriate method to analyze the development of Inquiry research (Aparicio et al, 2023;Fox et al, 2021). Bibliometric indicators, including number of citations, source documents, country distribution, top authors of inquiry type and publication type have been frequently used to analyze trends (Kamarrudin, 2022;Mainwaring et al, 2020;Rejeb et al, 2022).…”

This article aims to analyze the trend of Inquiry research through bibliometrics in the Google schoolar database from 2020 to 2023. The article consists of a total of 993 articles, then sorted into 788 suitable articles and analyzed. The method used in this research is article analysis using bibliometrics with the following stages: keyword search, initial search results, refining search results, compiling initial data, and data analysis. The results show that publications in scientific articles regarding Inquiry vary every year. Then, the description in Education research trends produces seven clusters, namely science process skills, science teacher, argument driven inquiry, framework, experience, critical thinking skills, and senior high school. The findings of this study are expected to help other researchers who are interested in studying and researching related to Inquiry research trends and recommend directions for further research
