Bibliometric comparison of Nobel Prize laureates: a few suggestions.

This study offers insights into a paper by the esteemed editor-in-chief, who conducted a bibliometric comparison of Nobel laureates in physiology, medicine, and chemistry to examine the substantial influence these scientists have had on their respective fields (Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Arch Pharmacol, 397, 2024, 7169-7185). Analyzing metrics such as laureates' nationalities, ages at productivity peaks, H-index, and age-adjusted H-index, the research highlights distinct career patterns among these distinguished scientists. The present study addresses the limitations of traditional metrics, like the H-index, which may undervalue early-career contributions or multidisciplinary impacts due to its focus on cumulative citations.

From Data to Recommendations: A Comprehensive Review of Ten Bibliometric Papers in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of ten papers published in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, focusing on the identification of critical gaps and the integration of diverse analytical approaches. Through a detailed review, we observed missing indicators such as comprehensive bibliometric metrics and qualitative assessments of research impact. The findings underscore the need for a more balanced approach in future studies, combining quantitative bibliometric data with qualitative evaluations to provide a fuller understanding of the research landscape.

A total of 499 papers published between 1951 and October 2024, containing the term Prurigo Nodularis in their abstracts, were analyzed. Keyword analysis was conducted to determine the main themes across these publications.

Bibliometric analysis of ST elevation myocardial infarction research from 1933 to 2023: Focus on top 100 most-cited articles.

The primary objective of this study was to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the most influential papers on ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI). Using the Scopus database (October 2024), a targeted search was performed to identify relevant publications. Three retrieval options were considered based on the appearance of search terms.

Forty years of Clinics in Dermatology.

In 2023, Clinics in Dermatology marked its 40th anniversary, celebrating a remarkable journey of excellence since its inception in 1983. Led by its founding editor, Dr Lawrence Charles Parish, the journal has consistently delivered cutting-edge research and clinical insights, becoming a cornerstone resource in dermatology. The journal has published 3,667 documents.

Top 1000 Most Cited Papers in World Neurosurgery.

Background: Over the past 15 years, WORLD NEUROSURGERY (WN) has emerged as a pivotal source in the neurosurgery field, reflecting remarkable growth and development. Originally published as Surgical Neurology from 1973 to 2009, the journal transitioned to its current title in 2010, significantly expanding its reach and influence.

Methods: A comprehensive bibliometric analysis of WN's publications from 1973 to 2023 was performed.

Robotic surgery: bibliometric analysis, continental distribution, and co-words analysis from 2001 to 2023.

The project aimed to conduct an up-to-date and comprehensive bibliometric analysis of robotic surgery to provide a detailed and holistic understanding of the field. Three strategies were employed in the data analysis i.e.

Bibliometric Analysis of Meningiomas from 2001 to 2023: Focus on the Top 100 Most Cited Papers.

Objective: The aim was to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of meningioma research, focusing on publication trends, top authors, universities, countries, and thematic analysis of keywords.

Methods: From Scopus databases, first we analyzed 23,180 papers (or 19,824 articles and 3356 reviews) published between 2001 and 2023. Second, we selected the top 100 most cited papers and descriptively analyzed on Vosviewer and R Studio (bibliometrix/biblioshiny).

Occurrence and characterization of plasmid-encoded genes in quinolone-resistant bacteria across diverse aquatic environments in southern Ontario.

Antimicrobial resistance is an ever-increasing threat. The widespread usage of ciprofloxacin has led to the manifestation of resistance due to chromosomal mutations or the acquisition of plasmid-mediated quinolone resistance (PMQR) traits. Some particular PMQR traits, genes, have been identified globally in clinical and environmental isolates.

Bibliometric Analysis of Machine Learning Applications in Ischemia Research.

Objective: The objective of this study is to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis to elucidate the landscape of machine learning applications in ischemia research.

Methods: The analysis can be divided in three sections: part 1 scrutinizes articles and reviews with "ischemia" in their titles, while part 2 further narrows the focus to publications containing both "ischemia" and "machine learning" in their titles. Additionally, part 3 delves into the examination of the top 50 most cited papers, exploring their thematic focus and co-word dynamics.

Supplemental Sodium Nitroprusside and Spermidine Regulate Water Balance and Chlorophyll Pigments to Improve Sunflower Yield under Terminal Drought.

Drought is an inevitable environmental stress that drastically hampers the growth, productivity, and quality of food crops. Exogenous sodium nitroprusside and spermidine have decisive functions in the growth enhancement of plants; nevertheless, their specific role in mediating stress responses to improve drought tolerance in sunflowers at the reproductive stage (terminal drought) remains largely unknown. In the present study, we explored the positive effects of sodium nitroprusside and spermidine on physiological responses to increase in sunflower yield during periods of terminal drought.

Exploring the therapeutic potential of the oxygenated monoterpene linalool in alleviating saline stress effects on Allium cepa L.

Sodium chloride (NaCl) can cause oxidative stress in plants, which represents a potential obstacle to the development of monocultures worldwide. Onion (Allium cepa L.) is a famous vegetable consumed and used in world cuisine.

The Neurosurgical Research Progress of 98 Low and Lower Middle-Income Countries from 1928 to 2024.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to analyze the trends of neurosurgical research in low and lower middle-income countries (LLMICs).

Methods: The data was retrieved from Scopus database and 82 neurosurgical journals were analyzed.

Results: Initially the global research scholarly output (n = 195,658) was explored and later papers originating solely from LLMICs, without international collaboration with advance countries (n = 8408) were analyzed.

Bibliometric analysis: A few suggestions.

In an era marked by the exponential growth of scientific production, bibliometric analysis (BA) has emerged as indispensable tool for understanding the dynamics of research fields. In this review, we tried to provide a few tips which can be incorporated in BA. For instance; (a) solely presenting the number of publications per year is not an ideal approach.
