Article Abstract
Objective: A bibliometric analysis was completed of highly cited occupational therapy literature and authors published from 1991 to 2014 and accessible in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-Expanded) and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) databases.
Method: Data were obtained from the SCI-Expanded and SSCI. Articles referenced >100 times were categorized as highly cited articles (HCA).
Results: Of 6,486 articles found, 31 were categorized as HCA. The American Journal of Occupational Therapy published the largest number of HCA (n = 8; 26%). The 31 HCA were distributed across seven countries: United States (20 articles), Canada (3), United Kingdom (3), Australia (2), the Netherlands (1), New Zealand (1), and Sweden (1). The three authors with the highest Y-index were S. J. Page, F. Clark, and W. Dunn.
Conclusion: A latency period of 4 to 5 yr post-publication appears to be needed for a journal article to gain citations.

Background: Bibliometric analysis of highly cited papers in a particular discipline brings forward the impactful papers published, the significant journals and the researchers in the field. These studies help in identifying research trends and research lacunae in the field, thus guiding the future research works. Oral proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (OPVL) is a challenging lesion with no uniform diagnostic criteria.
Background: Chemotherapy is crucial in the management of tumors, but challenges such as chemoresistance and adverse reactions frequently lead to therapeutic delays or even premature cessation. A growing body of research underscores a profound connection between the gut microbiota (GM) and cancer chemotherapy (CC). This paper aims to pinpoint highly influential publications and monitor the current landscape and evolving trends within the realm of GM/CC research.
Reporting the 50 most cited manuscripts on virtual surgical planning (VSP) for craniofacial surgery, thereby providing a comprehensive review of landmark papers. The Web of Science Citation Index was used to identify the 50 most cited manuscripts on VSP in craniofacial surgery. These were classified by level of evidence, type of study, topic of interest, and anatomic site.
Background: Surgery and chemoradiotherapy are the main clinical treatment methods for colorectal cancer (CRC), but the prognosis is poor. The emergence of nanomedicine brings bright light to the treatment of CRC. However, there has not been a comprehensive and systematic analysis of CRC and nanomedicine by bibliometrics.
Background: Contingency management (CM), an incentive-based intervention to encourage target behaviors, effectively promotes medication adherence. However, efforts to extend CM to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) have been lacking. As part of a randomized clinical trial to promote HIV Prevention among people who inject drugs (PWID), we examined the readiness of staff in community-based organizations serving PWID to implement CM for PrEP uptake and adherence in this population.
