Study on dysphagia from 2012 to 2021: A bibliometric analysis via CiteSpace

Abstract

ObjectivesThis study aims to review the documents on dysphagia, summarize the research direction, analyze the research hot spots and frontiers, report the research trends, and provide new ideas for future development in the field via CiteSpace.MethodsWe retrieved articles on dysphagia published between 2012 and 2021 from the Web of Science Core Collection database. We downloaded the entire data and utilized CiteSpace version 5.8.R3 (64-bit) to analyze the number of publications annually, cited journals, countries, institutions, authors, cited authors, cited references, and keywords. We visualized the data with a knowledge map, collaborative network analysis, cluster analysis, and strongest citation burst analysis.ResultsWe obtained 14,007 papers with a continually increasing trend over time. The most productive country and institute in this field were the United States (4,308) and Northwestern University (236), respectively. Dysphagia (5,062) and Laryngoscope (2,812) were the most productive journals, Elizabeth Ward had the highest number of publications (84), and Logeman et al.'s article (centrality: 0.02) was the most referenced. The most common keywords were dysphagia, management, quality of life, deglutition disorder, diagnosis, aspiration, prevalence, children, outcome, and oropharyngeal dysphagia.ConclusionThis study analyzed the current literature on dysphagia via CiteSpace and identified its research hot spots and frontiers. The prevalent global trends in dysphagia research and the growing public awareness about healthcare and quality of life suggest that research on dysphagia will gain popularity with further breakthroughs.

Visual trends and hot research on the relationship between intestinal microbiota and major lipids: a bibliometric analysis

“…It encompasses a vast range of scholarly resources, such as journals, patents, books, conference proceedings, and online materials. Being universally recognized, this database serves as a pivotal tool for researchers worldwide, providing extensively indexed publications that form an integral component of the research process (Sun et al, 2022 ). Considering its reliability and wide-ranging coverage, we selected the WoSCC database as our data source for this study.…”

Mapping research trends regarding the mechanism of dysphagia from 1993 to 2023: a bibliometrics study and visualization analysis

“…With the in-depth research and increasing interest in the field of swallowing disorders, studies focused on the current situation and trends in this field are needed. After reviewing the literature, we found four related visualization studies that payed attention to the dysphagia ( 20 ), post-stoke dysphagia (PSD) ( 21 , 22 ) or rehabilitation of PSD ( 23 ). Those studies analyzed the current literature or the rehabilitation on dysphagia or PSD to identify the research hotspots and frontiers using bibliometrics.…”
