应用文献计量学分析关于男性包皮的出版物发文量和研究趋势

A bibliometric analysis of publication volume and research trends in male foreskin studies

目的对有关男性包皮的出版物进行了文献计量学分析,以辨别在过去20年中出现的主要研究领域和发展趋势。方法检索2003年1月-2022年12月发表的与男性包皮相关的出版物。随后,使用各种工具进行了文献计量分析和可视化,包括在线文献计量分析平台bibliometrix R包、text2vec R包、Citespace软件和VOSviewer软件。结果在男性包皮领域筛选并确定了2627篇合格的文章,每年出版物数量呈现增长趋势。美国和中国在男性包皮研究领域中占据主导地位。PLOS one是发文量最高的期刊。作者Wang X发表论文数量最多。在所有机构中,加州大学旧金山分校发表的论文数量最多。使用双地图来显示主要的引用路径,显示期刊的主题分布。主题地图是通过将作者关键词分为五个主题并将它们映射到四个象限而创建的。这些主题包括利基(位于左上象限)、运动(位于右上象限)、崛起或衰落(位于左下象限)、基本主题(位于右下象限)。结论这是文献中第一次将关于男性包皮研究的作者、国家、机构、期刊和关键词收集在一起并进行分析。在许多社会中,包皮环切术的盛行可能使许多研究人员无法看到男性包皮的学术价值,因为成人和儿童包皮病变非常罕见。这项文献计量研究调查了男性包皮的研究趋势,并确定了当前的热点。这项研究还确定了作者、国家、机构和期刊的影响,以加强合作和学习。

Objective Bibliometric analysis of publications on male foreskin was performed,to identify the major research areas and trends that have emerged over the past two decades.Methods Publications related to male foreskin published between January 2003 and December 2022 were researched.Subsequently,bibliometric analysis and visualization were carried out using various tools,including the bibliometrix R package,the text2vec R package,Citespace and VOSviewer software.Results In total,2,627 eligible publications in the field of the male prepuce(foreskin)were identified,with an increasing trend in the annual number of publications.The United States and China were dominant in the male prepuce(foreskin)field.The PLOS ONE was the most productive journal.Wang X published the largest number of papers.Of all institutions,The University of California,San Francisco,published the highest number of papers.We used a dual map to display the main citation paths and show the topic distribution of journals.The thematic map was created by categorizing author keywords into five themes and mapping them onto the four quadrants.These themes include niche(located in the top left quadrant),motor(located in the top right quadrant),emerging or declining(located in the bottom left quadrant),and basic themes(located in the bottom right quadrant).Conclusions It is the first time in the literature that the authors,country,institutions,journals,and keywords of the male prepuce(foreskin)have been collected together in one place and reviewed.The prevalence of circumcision in many societies might have prevented many researchers from seeing the academic value of the male prepuce(foreskin),as adult and child prepuce pathologies are very rare.This bibliometric study examines trends in research on the male prepuce(foreskin)and identifies current hotspots.The study also identifies the impact of authors,countries,institutions,and journals to enhance collaboration and learning.
