Assessment of hearing impairment research outcomes in top 10 countries

Abstract

There are five types of publications such as all open access, in which the maximum research published their research publications, followed by green, gold, bronze, and hybrid gold respectively. A total of 17923 publications received 263785 citations and the overall publications trends have been shown in an increasing pattern while citations were shown in decreasing pattern. The overall relative growth rate was shown in decreasing trend while doubling time has been shown in an increasing trend. Medicine was the most famous area in which the maximum records were published i.e. 12973, followed by Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology with 3520 records while Hearing Impairment was the most using keyword, followed by Human. The most popular source in the research was ‘The International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology, followed by Hearing Research, while Harvard Medical School contributed a large number of publications and the National Institutes of Health was the most popular funding agency in Hearing Impairment research. Researchers preferred to publish their research results in article type's document with 76% of records, followed by a review with 12% of records. Lin, F. R. from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, United States has contributed the maximum number of 114 publications in Hearing Impairment research with 48 h-index and their total citations were 10063. The maximum research papers were contributed by three authors, followed by four authors’ while the overall collaboration coefficient and modified collaboration coefficient have been shown in increasing trends. However, the collaborative index lies between 4.72 (beginning year) to 4.88 (ending year) and the trend of the collaborative index is shown the increasing year by year except for only one year i.e. 2018. In the globe, the most productive country is the United States in Hearing Impairment research, followed by the United Kingdom.
