“…Such studies have been conducted in many different surgical and non-surgical domains; however, none have been performed on COVID-19 related publications. 5 - 8 With respect to the COVID-19 pandemic, previous bibliometric analyses have been conducted to investigate research activity in different counties. 9 - 12 However, none were conducted with the goal of highlighting the most highly cited COVID-19 early research publications.…”

Bibliometric Analysis of Early COVID-19 Research: The Top 50 Cited Papers

et al. 2020

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic is rapidly evolving with the number of cases exponentially rising. The research scientific community has reacted promptly as evidenced by an outstanding number of COVID-19 related publications. As the number of scientific publications rapidly rises, there is a need to dissect the factors that lead to highly impactful publications. To that end, the present paper summarizes the characteristics of the top 50 cited COVID-19-related publications that emerged early during the pandemic. Methods: A systematic search of the Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar was performed, using keywords related to COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-19. Two independent authors reviewed all the search results, screening for the top 50 cited COVID-19-related articles. Inclusion criteria comprised any publication on COVID-19 or the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Data extracted included the type of study, journal, number of citations, number of authors, country of publication, and study content. Results: As of May 29th, the top 50 cited articles were cited 63849 times during the last 4 months. On average, 14 authors contributed to each publication. Over half of the identified articles were published in only 3 journals. Furthermore, 42% and 26% of the identified articles were retrospective case series and correspondence/viewpoints, respectively, while only 1 article was a randomized controlled trial. In terms of content, almost half (48%) of the identified publications reported clinical/radiological findings while only 7 out of the 50 articles investigated potential treatments. Conclusion: By highlighting the characteristics of the top 50 cited COVID-19-related articles, the authors hope to disseminate information that could assist researchers to identify the important topics, study characteristics, and gaps in the literature.

“…The publication and citation counts can be influenced by the selection of databases, search strategy, and personal bias. A previous bibliometric analysis found that the Web of Science and Scopus exported very similar articles but different citations ( 18 ). Besides, the number of citations can be influenced by literature age, some newly published articles had low citations despite their high scientific values.…”

BackgroundEnhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol has been implemented in surgeries for more than 20 years, this study investigated the global states and hotspots of ERAS research.MethodsBased on the Web of Science database, a bibliometric and visualized study of original ERAS research from 2000 to 2020 was performed, including the trends of publications and citations; distribution of countries, authors, institutions, sources; study design, level of evidence, served surgeries and surgical disciplines. Hotspots were revealed by research interests and keywords.ResultsWithin the field of original ERAS research, there was a rising trend in annual publications and citations. The USA was the greatest contributor. Kehlet, H, University of Copenhagen were the most influential author and institution, respectively. British Journal of Surgery and Annals of Surgery were the most cited journals. Though there were more prospective designs, more than half of the studies presented level IV evidence and had fewer citations and citation densities compared to that of level II and level III. ERAS protocol was overwhelmingly implemented in colorectal surgeries. Most studies focused on elements of ERAS, the top three research interests were “length of stay,” “pain management,” and “complications.” In recent years, bariatric surgery, compliance with ERAS, and feasibility in the elderly were new hotspots.ConclusionRevealing the global states and hotspots can help researchers better understand the trends in ERAS research. The USA was the greatest contributor to ERAS research. Kehlet, H, was the most influential author in the field. Bariatric surgery, compliance with ERAS, and feasibility in the elderly represent the new trend of ERAS research. Most of the ERAS research had a low evidence levels, studies with high-level evidence are still required in this field.

“…This article describes a citation analysis of journal articles in the field of psychooncology pertaining to the guidance of clinical practice and research. A review of the 100 most-cited papers is consistent with the methodological approach to bibliometric reviews in health research [13,14,16,17,[30][31][32][33]. A review protocol was developed to support the study's objectives, search strategy, inclusion/exclusion criteria and risk of bias assessment.…”

“…Furthermore, several key psychosocial-oncology journals are indexed within Scopus. Inclusion of one electronic database is standard practice in bibliometric analyses [14,16,17,30,31,33]. Results retrieved from Scopus were sorted using the sorting option "times cited-highest to lowest."…”

“…Finally, the search was limited to the Scopus electronic database. While the inclusion of one electronic database is standard practice in bibliometric analyses [14,16,17,30,31,33], it is important to critique any outcome metric provider. Key to database selection, Scopus provides tools for citation overview including self-citation analysis.…”

(1) Background: A bibliometric review of psycho-oncology research is overdue. (2) Methods: The 100 most-cited journal articles were compiled and ranked according to Scopus. (3) Results: The total citation count for the results ranged from 488–8509 (Mean = 940.27; SD = 1015.69). A significant correlation was found between years since publication and number of citations (p = 0.039). The majority of research originated from the United States (66%). The vast majority of research publications were original articles (80%). Observational research study designs represented the majority of studies (37%). Mixed cancer population research studies represented the largest cancer research population (36%). Positive psychology topics represented the most prolific proportion of studies (30%). Findings were reported in line with PRISMA-ScR guidelines. (4) Conclusions: This analysis offers a comprehensive account of seminal journal articles in psycho-oncology, identifying landmark contributions and areas for future research developments within the field, namely highlighting a need for more RCT studies. This analysis serves as an educational tool for interdisciplinary researchers and clinicians to support compassionate cancer care.
