“…It has been reported that the most studies on the subject were published in NEJM. [30] Similar to previous study, [30] in our study, the most cited first hundred studies in the field of infectious diseases were determined to be mostly originated from USA and centers for disease control and prevention. In another study, which analyzed the first hundred most cited studies on orthopedic infections, USA came to the fore as the country with the highest number of publications.…”

In our study, the 100 most cited publications in the field of “Infectious Diseases” in the WOS database were evaluated bibliometrically. “Web of Science” database “advanced mode” feature was used. A search was made in the field of “Infectious Diseases.” The top 100 most cited publications were determined. The total number of citations of the publications, the annual number of citations, the authors, the information of the study and the journal were analyzed. There were a total of 552,828 publications in the field of “Infectious Diseases” in the WOS between 1975 and 2023. The total citation average of the 100 most cited publications was 2246.02 ± 2165.35 and the annual citation average was 208.04 ± 215.00. The first 3 subjects in the first hundred articles were listed as antibiotic resistance (21%), coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) (17%) and gram positive agents (10%). The first 3 journals in which the studies were published the most were determined as “Clinical Infectious Diseases” (33%), “Lancet Infectious Diseases” (20%), and “Emerging Infectious Diseases” (9%). A significant relationship was found between the subject of the study, the quarter (Q) category of the journal, the continent of authors and publisher, the funding status, the year of publication, the open access status and the number of citations per year (P < .0001). Our study is the first to analyze the top 100 most cited studies in the field of “Infectious Diseases” in the literature and their citation characteristics. Most of the most cited studies on the subject were on antibiotic resistance. The study subject, author, journal, publisher and publication access features, funding status and publication year affect the number of citations per year.

“…Several methodologies exist for measuring research impact, but the most commonly used to identify influential works are still the number of citations and the journal citation rank lists, [8] as shown by a myriad of studies in areas including parasitology, tropical medicine, and infectious diseases, among others. [9][10][11][12][13][14] An analysis of the top-cited articles illustrates how knowledge accumulates over time, so this study aimed to determine which articles on cysticercosis and neurocysticercosis have been most influential in the field.…”

Background: Identifying the most highly cited papers in a given field can help researchers and professionals understand the milestones and research areas that are generating the most impact. This study aimed to identify and describe the 50 most frequently cited manuscripts on cysticercosis and neurocysticercosis. Methods: We identified the 50 most cited papers (articles and reviews) on cysticercosis and neurocysticercosis from the MEDLINE database and indexed in Web of Science-Core Collection, analyzing their bibliographic and content characteristics. Results: The most cited documents comprised 29 (58%) original articles and 21 (42%) reviews, the bulk of which were narrative reviews (n = 17), with a negligible presence of other types of reviews with high-level scientific evidence. Six journals published 42% of the articles. In addition to the USA, Mexico and Peru were prominent countries of origin among leading researchers. The main research topics were the central nervous system and epilepsy on the one hand, and diagnostic and therapeutic approaches on the other. Conclusion: Our findings shed light on the dissemination of knowledge about cysticercosis and neurocysticercosis in recent decades, identifying the most highly cited contributions that have driven research in the field.

“…There were 27 publications with citations between 115 and 150, 32 between 15 and 297, 27 between 208 and 300, 8 between 305 and 390, and 6 between 441 and 176. The most-cited article is named "Clinical Elements and Prognostic Variables in Grown-ups with Bacterial Meningitis" and was distributed in 2004 by Diederik et al [6] The Academic Medical Center in The Netherlands drove the rundown with (n = 15) distributions with 3554 references and an average of 236.93 citations per paper. The author with the most articles is Diederik van de Beek of the Medical Center Academic of The Netherlands, whose name showed up in 14 of the main 100 articles with 4321 citations, an average of 308.64 citations per paper.…”

“…There are vaccines for 4 types of bacteria that can cause meningitis: Meningococcal vaccines help protect against N. meningitidis; Pneumococcal vaccines help protect against S. pneumoniae; Haemophilus influenzae serotype b (Hib) vaccines help protect against Hib. [2][3][4][5][6][7] Bacterial meningitis is caused by bacteria entering the bloodstream and traveling to the brain and spinal cord. [4,5] Notwithstanding, bacterial meningitis can likewise happen when bacteria attack the meninges straightforwardly.…”

Background: In previous decades, large-scale research has been carried out on bacterial meningitis. In every field, citation analysis is the most significant contribution. The study’s objective was to identify and analyze the 100 articles on bacterial meningitis that received the most citations between 2000 and 2023, highlighting the most significant developments in the field. Objective: The objective of this study was to find out what makes a highly influential article by identifying and analyzing the characteristics of the 100 articles in the field of bacterial meningitis that receive the most citations. The goal of this study was to find and examine the 100 articles on bacterial meningitis that received the most citations. Methodology: We identified the top 100 most-cited papers in the field of bacterial meningitis from 55 journals using the Dimensions AI database. The results of each author’s analysis of 100 articles were then compared. We gathered fundamental data such as the journal’s title, country of publication, and study type. Descriptive counts or percentages were used to compare the various categories. Results: Between the year 2000 and the year 2023, articles were published. The total number of citations ranged from 115 to 1176, with 42 papers receiving more than 200 citations. In 2008, 14 articles were published, followed by 10 in 2000 and 2007. One thousand one hundred and seventy-six times were given to the most-cited paper, whereas 115 times were given to the least-cited article. “Clinical Features and Prognostic Factors in Adults with Bacterial Meningitis,” by Diederik van de Beek, et al. (2004) was the article that received the most citations. 1176 people have cited this article. van de Beek Diederik of the Academic Medical Center in The Netherlands is the author who has written the most articles, was mentioned in 14 of the top 100 articles. Papers were primarily published in Pediatrics (n = 9) publication with 1861 citations. The Netherlands came in second with 18 publications, followed by the United States (n = 46). Conclusion: Our study uses bibliometrics and visualization analysis of the most important articles in this field to show the current state of research in the area of bacterial meningitis, provide a history of research trends, and offer a perspective for future bacterial predicts the growth of meningitis.
