口腔扁平苔藓研究热点前沿的可视化分析

Hotspots and frontiers of oral lichen planus research: a visual analysis

目的通过文献计量学方法分析口腔扁平苔藓研究的热点与前沿。方法在Web of Science核心合集中搜索口腔扁平苔藓相关文献,检索时限均从建库至2020年1月1日,提取数据,采用Excel 2016软件和CiteSpace软件对数据进行可视化分析。结果共纳入3 105篇文献,文献年发表量呈现稳定增长的趋势。口腔扁平苔藓相关研究热点包括癌症、病变和疾病管理;研究前沿包括发病机理、潜在的恶性疾病、分类和诊断。结论文献可视化分析直观地展现了口腔扁平苔藓研究的热点与前沿,为今后研究提供了参考。

Objective To analyze the hotspots and frontiers of oral lichen planus research by bibliometric methods. Methods We searched Web of Science Core Collection database to obtain studies on oral lichen planus from inception to January 1st, 2020. After data extraction, Excel 2016 and CiteSpace software were used to carry out descriptive and visual analysis. Results A total of 3 105 articles and reviews were included, and the annual publication volume showed a steady growth trend. The research hotspot terms of oral lichen planus were cancer, lesion, and management of the disease. Moreover, pathogenesis, potentially malignant disorder, classification, and diagnosis were defined as novel research frontiers. Conclusions Through the bibliometric method, the research hotspots and frontiers of oral lichen planus are displayed intuitively, which provides references for future research.
