Research hotspot and trend of chronic wounds: A bibliometric analysis from 2013 to 2022

Abstract

Chronic wounds have been confirmed as a vital health problem facing people in the global population aging process. While significant progress has been achieved in the study of chronic wounds, the treatment effect should be further improved. The number of publications regarding chronic wounds has been rising rapidly. In this study, bibliometric analysis was conducted to explore the hotspots and trends in the research on chronic wounds. All relevant studies on chronic wounds between 2013 and 2022 were collected from the PubMed database of the Web of Science (WOS) and the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). The data were processed and visualized using a series of software. On that basis, more insights can be gained into hotspots and trends of this research field. Wound Repair and Regeneration has the highest academic achievement in the field of chronic wound research. The United States has been confirmed as the most productive country, and the University of California System ranks high among other institutions. Augustin, M. is the author of the most published study, and Frykberg, RG et al. published the most cited study. Furthermore, the hotspots of wound research over the last decade were identified (e.g., bandages, infection and biofilms, pathophysiology and therapy). This study will help researchers gain insights into chronic wound research's hotspots and trends accurately and quickly. Moreover, the exploration of bacterial biofilm and the pathophysiological mechanism of the chronic wound will lay a solid foundation and clear direction for treating chronic wounds.This article is protected by copyright.

Bibliometric analysis and visualization of quorum sensing research over the last two decade

“…This methodology is instrumental in identifying research focal points and emerging trends within a given field, offering valuable insights into its current status and providing direction for future research initiatives. As an illustration, researchers have effectively employed bibliometric analysis to explore the evolving research landscape concerning subjects like microneedles, chronic wounds and transdermal drug delivery (Chen et al, 2022(Chen et al, , 2023a. Providing an impartial portrayal of research trends, bibliometrics analysis plays a crucial role in guiding and molding the course of future research endeavors.…”
