Abstract
Aim: The basic aim of this analysis was to evaluate the 100 most cited publications in aging research. Methods: On January 17, 2021 Web of Science Core Collection database was searched for aging research publications. The studied parameter includes; publication year, authorship, publication type, keywords, journal name, institution, country, and visualization mapping. HistCiteTM application for citation analysis and VOSviewer software was used for visualization mapping. Results: The top 100 most cited papers were published in 52 journals, authored by 537 authors. The most cited paper was “The diagnosis of dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease: Recommendations from the National Institute on Aging-Alzheimer’s Association workgroups on diagnostic guidelines for Alzheimer’s disease,” which received 6039 citations (2013 average citations per year). Nature was the most attractive journal (n=13). Aging was the most dominant used keyword. The maximum number of papers were published in 2005 (n=8). Harvard University was the leading institute (n=13), while the United States of America (USA) was the most productive country (n=76). Conclusion: The highly cited papers were published in developed countries, and no study was published in low-income countries.
Highlights
Biological aging involves a broad range of life changes that negatively impact all fundamental biological processes and lead to loss of organismal homeostasis and eventually death [1,2]
The top 100 most cited papers were published in 52 journals with 6716 cited references, 407 keywords, and 537 authors
Based on TLS, aging and dementia were the most widely used author keywords (TLS=49), and (TLS=16) respectively as shown in Bibliometric type studies are of great interest, providing an overview of the scientific published literature and other important parameters [22]
Summary
Biological aging (evry living organism) involves a broad range of life changes that negatively impact all fundamental biological processes and lead to loss of organismal homeostasis and eventually death [1,2]. Human aging (related to human lives) annexes the macroscopic changes, including grinding of the skin, wrinkling, loss of muscle, and physical weakness. They are more vulnerable to a wide range of diseases when individuals get older. Age-dependent molecular damage accumulates lower DNA or protein stability, energy production, utilization failure, and homeostasis disruption leading to structural and functional decline
