Abstract
Background To explore the development status and trends of glaucoma study from 2009 to 2018 based on SCIE.Methods Searching for glaucoma-related articles published in SCIE in the last decade and describing the distribution of the time, region, author, author institution, journal and influence of articles. Meanwhile, we compared the publication of articles, the research hotspots among five years before and after 2009-2013, 2014-2018.Results A total of 19,609 glaucoma-related articles were retrieved during 2009-2018 and the global SCIE articles have increased year by year from 2009 to 2017. The top five countries for articles were the United States, China, Japan, Germany and the England. The top three authors are Weinreb, R N, Aung, T and Jonas, J B. The journal with the largest number of published articles is INVESTIGATIVE OPHTHALMOLOGY VISUAL SCIENCE. It can be seen that glaucoma-related pathogenesis research, OCT and other imaging examinations in the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma and glaucoma surgery have attracted much attention.Conclusions In the past ten years, global glaucoma research has developed in a balanced manner, and the cooperation between various institutions and teams has become increasingly close. The research hotspots are still concentrated in the pathogenesis and diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma.
