AbstractBibliometric analysis is a statistical method that attempts to assess articles by their citations, analyzing their frequency and citation pattern, which subsequently gleans direction and guidance for future research. Over the past few years, articles focused on intrauterine adhesions have been published with increasing frequency. Nevertheless, little is known about the properties and qualities of this research, and no current analysis exists that has examined the progress in intrauterine adhesion research. Web of Science Core Collection, BIOSIS Citation Index, and MEDLINE database were searched to identify articles on intrauterine adhesion published from 1950 to October 2020. The 100 most cited articles were chosen to analyze citation count, citation density, authorship, theme, geographic distribution, time-related flux, level of evidence, and network analysis. An overwhelming majority of these 100 articles were published in the 2010s (35%). Citations per article ranged from 30 to 253. Chinese authors published the most papers in the top 100, followed by the USA, France, Israel, and Italy. The most salient study themes included operative hysteroscopy and adjunctive treatments for improving reproductive outcomes. The most common level of evidence was level II, and there was no statistical difference in the number of citations between the levels. The network analysis indicated that hysteroscopy, hysteroscopic adhesiolysis, infertility, and the reproductive outcome had a great degree of centrality in the 2000s and 2010s. In comparison, placental implantation had a great degree of centrality in the 2000s, and stem cell and fibrosis had a great degree of centrality in the 2010s. The value of IUA investigation has been gradually appreciated recently. Hysteroscopic adhesiolysis was continuously explored to achieve better reproductive outcome. Over time, the main focus of research has gradually shifted from complications to postoperative adjuvant treatment. Moreover, breakthrough progress is needed in underlying mechanism and early prevention of IUA.

Abstract Background: Bibliometric analysis is a statistical method which attempts to assess articles by their citations, analyzing their frequency and pattern of citing phenomenon. Through the analysis, some guidance can be extracted for future research directions. Over the past few years, there have been articles published in mounting numbers focused on intrauterine adhesions. Nevertheless, little is known about the properties and qualities of these researches. No existed analysis commits to reflecting the progress of researches in intrauterine adhesion.Methods: Web of Science Core Collection, BIOSIS Citation Index and MEDLINE were searched for the identifying articles released from 1950 to October 2020. Articles concerning about Intrauterine adhesion were determined. Subsequently, the 100 most cited articles were chosen for analysis of citation count, citation density (citations/article age), authorship, theme, geographic distribution, time-related flux, level of evidence, and network analysis.Results: An overwhelming majority of the certain 100 articles were put out in the 2010s (35%). Citations per article ranged from 30 to 253. China possesses the most papers among the top 100 papers, followed by the USA, France, Israel and Italy. The study theme that most highlighted were operative hysteroscopy and adjunctive treatments for improving reproductive outcome. Level II is the most common level of evidence, and there is no statistical difference in the number of citations between the levels. The network analysis connoted that hysteroscopy, hysteroscopic adhesiolysis, infertility, and reproductive outcome had a great degree of centrality in the 2000s and 2010s, while placental implantation had a great degree of centrality in the 2000s and stem cell and fibrosis had a great degree of centrality in the 2010s. Conclusions: We conducted a bibliometric analysis of the top 100 most cited articles in the literature on intrauterine adhesions. It is worth noting that hysteroscopy and hysteroscopic adhesiolysis were long-term concern in the field of intrauterine adhesion researches. As the elapse of time, postoperative adjuvant treatment has gradually become the hot spot of researches. However, there are only 9 experimental articles among these 100 articles, showing the lack of breakthrough progress in the field of intrauterine adhesions at the mechanism level.

Abstract Background Over the past few decades, more and more articles about total hip arthroplasty have been published. We noticed, however, little is known about the characteristics and qualities of these studies. Methods The databases of Web of Science Core Collection, BIOSIS Citation Index, MEDLINE, etc. were utilized for the identification of articles published from 1990 to May 2019. Total hip arthroplasty–related articles were identified, and the 100 most cited articles were selected for subsequent analysis of citation count, citation density (citations/article age), authorship, theme, geographic distribution, time-related flux, level of evidence, and network analysis. Results The selected 100 articles were published mainly in the 1990s (46%) and 2000s (47%) with almost equal amount. Citations per article ranged from 994 to 191. Leading countries were the USA followed by Canada, England, and Sweden, all located in North America and Western Europe. The most highlighted study themes were postoperative thrombosis and surgical methods and materials. The most common level of evidence was level III (35%). The network analysis connoted that radiography, acetabulum, reoperation, and bone cement had a high degree of centrality in the 1990s, while cement had a high degree of centrality in the 2000s and 2010s. Conclusions The time, area, and theme distribution of the top 100 most cited articles in the total hip arthroplasty have been thoroughly analyzed. It is noticeable that postoperative thromboembolism currently plays a major role in the field of total hip arthroplasty researches. However, most of them focus on the effectiveness of different treatments and drugs; little is known about its underlying mechanisms and influencing factors.

Background: Whether the international author collaboration and keywords on the topic of transportation management has been changed in the last several decades remains unclear. Along with the big data and API(allocation programming interface) emerged as a field of research with increasing attention being paid to it by scientific researchers and a rapid increase in related literature being reported using the bibliometric analysis, the international author collaboration and keywords should be explored to analyze the current state of research, including publication outputs, in-depth collaboration characteristics and keyword topics of transportation management research.Methods: The authors collected two published papers in Medline library and downloaded their 206 similar articles without duplication since 1977. Various statistical techniques and bibliometric measures were employed, including publication growth analysis; journal distribution; and collaboration network analysis at the author country/area collaboration level. The visualization maps of international author collaboration and burst terms were drawn on Google maps using social network analysis(SNA) and cluster analysis. Gini coefficient(GC) was applied to measure inequality of density indices among clusters.Results: A total of 208 bibliographic records on transportation management were collected. The earliest paper was published in 1977, with the number of papers sharply rising at the inflection point of the year 2014. We found that (1) the most number of papers on the topic of transportation management are from the U.S.( 43,27.04%), Spain(21,13.21%), and China(18, 11.32%); (2) the most linked keywords are organization & administration, analysis, education, and statistics & numerical data, and trends; (3) keyword networks presents lower GC that author collaborations among their respective clusters.   Conclusions: The collaboration of international authors on transportation management is not tight and stable. The focus of research topics on transportation management is centralized(Gini=0.48) more than that of author collaboration(Gini=0.33). Our study might provide a potential guide for future research on the topic of transportation management.

Mangroves are one the most productive ecosystems on Earth, and they are geographically located in the tropics and sub-tropics. Notwithstanding their critical role in providing a large number of environmental services and benefits as well as livelihood provisions, mangrove forests are being lost globally at an alarming rate. At the same time, they are increasingly recognized as a cost-effective nature-based climate solution for their carbon sequestration and storage capacity. Despite their enormous importance to people’s lives and the ecosystem, no bibliometric study on this topic has been published to our knowledge. Here, we provide a bibliometric analysis of the research on mangroves with research trends, most influential research based on citation count, and the origins (country and institution) of major research. Using the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED) database of the Web of Science Core Collection (Clarivate Analytics), we identified 13,918 documents published between 1990 and 2019. Nevertheless, 12,955 articles met our final criteria and were analyzed in detail. Six publications and their citations per publication (CPP2019) were applied to evaluate the publication performance of countries and institutes. When considering the top ten Web of Science subject categories, articles published on the ecology of mangroves had the highest CPP2019 of 28. Environmental sciences have been the major category since 2013. The USA dominated the total articles and single-author articles. The USA was also the most frequent partner of international collaborative publications. China published the most single-country articles, first-author articles, and corresponding-author articles. However, articles by the USA and Australia had a higher CPP2019. Sun Yat Sen University in China was the most active university. The Australian Institute of Marine Science dominated all kinds of publications with the top CPP2019. Together with the USA, Australia, China, India, Brazil, and Japan ranked both the top six on total publications and total publications in 2019. Our bibliometric study provides useful visualization of the past and current landscape of research on mangroves and emerging fields, to facilitate future research collaboration and knowledge exchange.

Category: Ankle; Ankle Arthritis; Arthroscopy; Basic Sciences/Biologics; Bunion; Diabetes; Hindfoot; Lesser Toes; Midfoot/Forefoot; Sports; Trauma; Other Introduction/Purpose: The topics, articles and discussions that arise within Foot and Ankle Orthopaedic literature are increasingly determined by their presence on social media outlets. The influence of social media mentions on Foot and Ankle Orthopaedic literature has not yet been investigated. The primary purpose of this study is to identify the social media outlets that were most associated with the Altmetric attention score (AAS). The secondary aim is to characterize the top 100 most highly cited articles within Foot and Ankle literature with the top 100 scoring Altmetric articles. Methods: We conducted a query of the Altmetric database for all journal titles containing the words ‘Foot’ and ‘Ankle.’ In accordance with other investigations, articles were only included after 2010, since this was beginning of academic social media participation. We assessed the frequency and percent of articles by journal, collecting variables including impact factor, AAS, along with average mentions within news, blogs, policy, patents, Twitter, peer review, Weibo, Facebook, Wikipedia, Google+, LinkedIn, Reddit, Pinterest, F1000, Q&A, online video, Syllabi, and traditional metrics such as number of Mendeley readers and citations (Table 1). We used a Spearman, semi-partial, and partial correlation test to detect the association between AAS and media outlet mentions, Mendeley readers or Dimensions citations. Finally, we ranked one article list with the 100 most popular articles on social media and one with the 100 most cited articles. Articles were examined for overlap, topic, article type, and level of evidence. Results: Our search returned 4,365 articles. Foot and Ankle International had the highest frequency of articles, though the Journal of Foot and Ankle Research had the highest AAS (Table 1). News and Twitter mentions had the greatest association with AAS. The top study designs for the AAS articles were prospective (n=35), retrospective (n=25), and systematic reviews (n=17), compared to the most highly cited articles which had retrospective (n=32), review (n=31), and observational studies (n=26) (p<0.001). When examining the top 100 highest AAS scoring articles with the 100 most cited, there was only one article in both groups. Compared to the most highly cited articles, the highest ranked AAS articles had a better average level of evidence (Cited: 3.4 vs. AAS: 2.9, p=0.001). Conclusion: Twitter and mentions within news are the most correlated with AAS. Although traditional metrics for article influence often reference an article’s citation count, attaining social media relevance is becoming more important than before. There is currently very little overlap among the most highly cited and the most mentioned articles on social media. Future research is needed to address whether citation counts or social media presence have more influence on actual clinical practice. [Table: see text]

Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to use citation analysis to identify the top 100 papers in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) and report the qualities and characteristics of the most influential articles in UKA research.Methods: UKA–related articles published from 1950 to June 2020 were identified using multiple databases. The 100 most cited articles were selected for further analysis of citation count, citation density, current citation rate, authorship, theme, geographic distribution, level of evidence, and network analysis.Results: The top 100 articles' publication dates ranged from 1980 to 2015, with the largest number in the 2000s. Total citations per article ranged from 65 to 473. The USA was the most productive country, but England led the race in terms of citations. The Bone & Joint Journal was the most prolific journal with 25 articles. Price AJ was the most productive first author and corresponding author. The most popular study theme was therapeutic research, followed by prognostic research. The most common level of evidence was level IV. The network analysis connoted that follow-up study had the highest degree of centrality.Conclusions: The study of UKA is steadily evolving. It could be predicted that there will be an increasing number of publications on UKA research in the following years according to the current global trends, the United States and England will likely maintain leadership in this area. Meanwhile, further prospective studies are required to better recognize the prognosis of UKA procedures.
