Current State and Future Directions of Intranasal Delivery Route for Central Nervous System Disorders: A Scientometric and Visualization Analysis

“…Scientometric analysis was conducted using the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) database of Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC, Clarivate Analytics, 1998-present, http://lib.tmu.edu.cn/ ), which contains more than 12,000 of the highest impact international journals, and is considered as the most prominent bibliographic databases of peer-reviewed scientific publications on many research topics ( Merigó and Yang, 2017 ; Li et al, 2021 ; Zhang et al, 2021 ). The search terms and retrieval strategies were developed as follows: # 1, topic: (intranasal administra* OR intranasal deliver* OR nasal administra* OR nasal deliver* OR “nose to brain”); # 2, topic: (brain OR “central nervous system” OR CNS); # 3, “# 1” AND “# 2.” Wildcard “*” indicates any group of characters or no character, for instance, “deliver*” would also return “delivery” or “deliveries” ( Willem et al, 2017 ).…”

“…The node size is determined by the number of publications, citations or occurrences. The links between the nodes represent the correlation between parameters, and the strength of links is assessed quantitatively by the indicator of total link strength (TLS) ( Li et al, 2021 ; Zhang et al, 2021 ). Detailed explanations of these visualization maps are provided in the figure legends and also available at https://www.vosviewer.com/documentation/Manual_VOSviewer_1.6.16.pdf .…”

“…An academic journal distribution analysis is helpful for scholars to determine the dominant journals in a certain field, and to select the most appropriate scientific journals for publication of their research results (Li et al, 2021;Wu et al, 2021a). Thus, we have listed the 10 journals with the most publications related to intranasal administration research in Table 3.…”

“…Citation counts is a commonly used evaluation metric of scientometric analysis to quantify the relative impact of scientific papers in a subject area, as the influence and recognition of a paper is usually proportional to number of citations that the paper received (Li et al, 2021;Wu et al, 2021a). It is often assumed that highly-cited publication refers to high-quality studies with great influence and innovation in a certain field, which is also regarded as the knowledge base and essential readings for scholars wishing to engage in this field.…”

“…However, due to limitation of scientometric software, direct merging of two databases is difficult. Consequently, previous studies usually chose one of the databases as the main searching database, and of these, WoSCC is the most commonly used reference database for scientometric studies (Merigó and Yang, 2017;Li et al, 2021;Wu et al, 2021a;Wu et al, 2021b). Second, as this is a rapidly developing area of research, the importance of the contribution of recently published studies might have been underestimated due to their low citation frequency, although some of the latest high-quality studies were published in top grade journals.…”
