Abstract
Single Cases Promote Knowledge Transfer in the Field of DBS
Highlights
The complexity of deep brain stimulation (DBS) research is illustrated by the various issues that are discussed in the DBS literature
Our metaanalysis revealed a broad range of issues that can be grouped into four classes: 1. Understanding therapeutic effects: motor effects of DBS, effects on medication, and comparison with medication-based therapy, research about the physiological mechanisms of DBS
If 50% of the publications of a specified literature body are attributed to one cluster, whereas only 10% of all citations generated by this literature body are attributed to the same cluster, a publication–citation-transfer between this cluster and other clusters has happened
Summary
The complexity of DBS research is illustrated by the various issues that are discussed in the DBS literature. For investigating how and when the discussion in the scientific communication about those issues has developed, the analysis of conference posters is preferable to the analysis of journal papers, since posters are published faster, have a lower publication threshold, and are more thematically focused.
