“…The number of citations for the 10 top‐cited articles in lithium toxicity varied from 211 to 79, which was less than those in other subspecialties in non‐toxicological fields and within the range of citations in other subspecialties in toxicological fields . Citations fluctuate in different subspecialties and depend on the research activity in certain field.…”

Lithium salts have been used to treat psychiatric disorders since the 1940s and are currently used in prophylaxis and treatment of depression and bipolar disorder. Therefore, we conducted this study to assess lithium toxicity-related publications using bibliometric approaches from a health point of view to assess global research trends in the lithium toxicity field to offer guidance to future research in this field. The data were retrieved from the online version of Scopus database on 6 August 2016. All records with the term 'lithium' in the title were retrieved, and those related to lithium toxicity were evaluated. There were a total of 1241 publications related to lithium toxicity published from 1913 to 2016. Articles (971 or 78.2%) were the most common type, followed by letters (179 or 14.4%) and reviews (61 or 4.9%). The annual publication of articles increased slightly after 1950 and the total number of publications related to lithium toxicity fluctuated with three peaks occurred in 1978, 1985 and 2014. The USA was the predominant country (25.38%), followed by the UK (7.82%), France (6.85%) and Canada (3.55%). Denmark had the highest productivity of publication after standardization by gross domestic product and population size. The average number of citations per article was 9.24, and the h-index for all publications in the field of lithium toxicity was 46. The highest h-index value was achieved by the USA (31) followed by the UK (21) and Canada (13). The Lancet was the highest ranked journal with 27 articles, followed by American Journal of Psychiatry with 23 articles. This study provides a bibliometric analysis on the global research trends in lithium toxicity studies during 1913-2015. There has been a progressive increase in the number of publications related to lithium toxicity published in the last decade, and most of the studies related to lithium toxicity arose from the USA and the UK.

“…As presented above, the US contributed more than half of the articles from this list of top 100 cited articles. This phenomenon is also seen in previous citation analyses . In a bibliometric analysis on emergency abdominal surgery, Ellul et al attributed the cause of this phenomenon to US institutions’ preference to cite “local research,” and their research culture in medical training which encourages the integration of research with their clinical practice .…”

“…This phenomenon is also seen in previous citation analyses. 9,29,30 In a bibliometric analysis on emergency abdominal surgery, Ellul et al 30 attributed the cause of this phenomenon to US institutions' preference to cite "local research," and their research culture in medical training which encourages the integration of research with their clinical practice. 30 Nonetheless, this effect might have been due to limiting results to English language publications during the article search process.…”

The 100 most cited manuscripts in coronary artery bypass grafting

et al. 2019

Introduction To gain a better understanding of the progression of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and its impact on clinical practice, bibliometric citation analysis can be performed. Bibliometric citation analysis is a method of determining the most influential papers on a topic based on several citations and impact factor. Method A search of the Thomson Reuters Web of Science citation indexing database and research platform was completed using the terms “CABG,” “Coronary artery bypass graft,” “Coronary artery,” “bypass,” and/or “bypass grafting.” The returned dataset was sorted by the number of citations. Results The search yielded a total of 11 560 papers which were ranked in order of citations. New England Journal of Medicine published the most papers in the top 100 and generated the most significant number of citations with 20 papers in total followed by Journal of the American College of Cardiology. It also has the highest impact factor and 5‐year impact fact in 2007 of 79.26 and 67.513, respectively. Conclusion The most cited manuscripts by Serruys et al described a randomised trial comparing percutaneous coronary intervention and CABG for treating severe coronary artery disease. This work provides the most influential references related to CABG and serves as a guide as to the area of focus in CABG.
