“…Keyword co-occurrence analysis can yield a wealth of useful information, allowing the identification of hot spots and trends and directing researchers to similar topics in their field (35). Three distinct MARV research topics can be identified, which mostly involve issues of epidemiology and public health, pathogenicity and vaccine development, and immunology and molecular biology, and commensurate effort by research scientists is compulsory for effective MVD prevention and control.…”

Marburg virus (MARV) is a pathogenic zoonotic RNA virus etiologic for Marburg virus disease (MVD), a severe hemorrhagic fever. This is a rare disease, with a high fatality rate, that spreads via infected blood or body fluids or indirectly via fomites (contaminated objects and substances such as clothed, beds, personal protective equipment, or medical equipments). A few vaccines to protect against MARV are undergoing clinical trials, but there is not yet an approved vaccine against this disease. Eventually, prevention and control guidelines should be adhered to rigorously to alleviate this infection. This bibliometric analysis aimed to harness narrative evaluation, emphasizing the significance of quantitative approaches and delineating the most thought-provoking concerns for researchers using VOSviewer software (Centre for Science and Technology Studies, Leiden University, the Netherlands). “Marburg Virus” OR “MARV” AND “Diseases” search criteria were used for the analysis of articles published between 1962 and 2022. Co-occurrence analysis was carried out, which characterized different thematic clusters. From this analysis, we found that 1688 published articles, and the number of publications increased across that period annually, with a growth rate of 8.78%. It is also conspicuous that the number of publications in the United States reached its acme during this period (i.e., 714 publications, accounting for 42.29% of the total), and the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases published the most literature (i.e., 146 papers). Our study found that the three pre-eminent authors of Marburg virus papers were “FELDMANN, HEINZ“ of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, United States, “BECKER, STEPHAN” of the Philipps University of Marburg, Germany, and “GEISBERT, THOMAS W” of the University of Texas Medical Branch, United States. In this study we found that “JOURNAL OF VIROLOGY” has published the most pertinent literature, totaling 88 articles, followed by “The journal of Infectious Diseases”, which published 76 relevant papers, and “VIRUSES”, which published 52 corresponding papers. The most cited paper on the Marburg virus was published in Nature Medicine, with 522 total citations and 29 citations/year. Studies of the changing epidemiology and evolving nature of the virus and its ecological niche are required; breakthrough and implementation of the efficacious vaccine candidate(s), prophylaxis and therapeutic alternatives and supervision strategies, unveiling awareness-raising programs, and developing apposite and timely preparedness, prevention, and proactive control strategies are of utmost importance.

“…The strongest authorship collaboration networks were formed by the US-CDC, the University of Kinshasa, and the National Institute of Biomedical Research, with moderate links formed by the other organizations. Rodriguez-Morales, Ortiz-Martinez, and Bonilla-Aldana [6] assessed monkeypox-related research using four databases up to December 31, 2021. Cheng, Zhou, and Wu [7] analyzed 566 global publications on MPXV-related research until May 21, 2022, identifying key countries, organizations, and authors, and the collaborative linkages between them.…”

Introduction and Methodology: The authors used bibliometric analysis and visualization tools to analyze 950 documents on monkeypox with a focus on annual publication productivity, most productive and impactful source titles, countries, most productive institutions, and authors, and their contribution to the subject areas. Results and Conclusion: The findings reveal that the most productive year of publication was 2003 which included 62 publications with the majority published in Emerging Infectious Diseases (35 papers) and Journal of Virology (32 papers) and Science (60.6), and Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Reports (60.44) achieved the highest citation impact per paper. USA (55.37% share), UK (6.63% share), and Germany (6.11% share) are the most productive countries, and Switzerland (47.93 and 1.84), Canada (46.57 and 1.79), and Belgium (37.32 and 1.43) are the most impactful countries. The Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, USA (145 papers) and National Institutes of Health, USA (64 papers) emerged as the most productive, and the University of California, Los Angeles, USA (84.15 and 3.23) and Viral and Rickettsial Zoonoses Br., USA (66.9 and 2.57) as the most impactful organizations. I.K. Damon (68 papers) and M.G. Reynolds (51 papers) emerged as the most prolific authors, and Esposito, J.J. (60.0 and 2.30) and Jezek, Z. (56.89 and 2.18) as the most impactful authors. In the subject category type, the most prominent subject fields were Medicine (60.95% share) and Immunology & Microbiology (39.16% share). The prominent keywords in the papers were “monkeypox” (570 times), “monkeypox virus” (411 times), “poxviridae infections” (332 times), “small pox” (266 times), “orthopox virus” (248 times), “vaccinia virus” (203 times), and “disease outbreaks” (179 times).

“…The database is one of the most comprehensive for bibliometric and patentometric analysis. It contains millions of publications cited over 1.6 billion times linked with patents,clinical trials,policy documents, datasets and grants [15,17]. This database is completely inclusive of PubMed, making it highly reliable.…”

“…Cite space, and visualization of similarities (VOS) are the most popular bibliometric analysis tool for knowledge mapping via bibliometrics [14]. Knowledge mapping has been applied in many research fields [13,15,16]. To date, a knowledge mapping analysis of AMR research contributions and inclinations in Nigeria has remained hidden.…”

To identify the contribution and impact of Nigerian authors, institutions, and journal sources, assess the knowledge base, detect the trends regarding antimicrobial resistance research through bibliometric analysis. Methods: Data from a query of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) articles in the dimensions database (PubMed included) were subjected to bibliometric analysis . Bibliometric indicators, topic networks were established, and topic trends were analysed by frequency, relevance scores, and trends over time. Results and conclusion: A total of 0.2% of the papers on AMR published worldwide were written by authors or institutions from Nigeria. In 2021, publications grew by 13.6%, The vast majority of publications (57.18%) were in the field of medical and health sciences, with 2428 papers. The top journal for AMR papers with at least one Nigerian institution affiliation was African Journal of Clinical and Experimental Microbiology, which published 1.8% of these papers. Antimicrobial stewardship, clinical and laboratory practices on AMR, public health implications, traditional and molecular methods, and phytomedicine and drug discovery were prominent areas of focus for Nigerian researchers. This study provided a comprehensive overview of the AMR research output, highlighting the need of increased research capacity to address the burden of AMR in Nigeria. Because Nigeria is overly reliant on conventional methods of discovery and development, innovation is essential for the future of antibiotics.
