The Recent Trends and Metric Study on Autoimmune Disorder Across the Globe

Abstract

The study intends to analyse the scholarly productions on Autoimmune disorders (one of the diseases affecting the immune system) from 2017 to 2021. The required data for the study has been retrieved from the Web of Science database. (The keyword “Autoimmune disorder” was applied as a topic phrase to extract the required data.) The retrieved data were analysed using the Microsoft-excel package, bibexcel and VOSviewer software. The study has been designed to assess the scientometrics parameters such as collaborative co-efficient index, collaborative index, degree of collaboration, relative growth rate, doubling time, authorship pattern, co-authorship index, and cluster analysis of authors’ keyword publications at the international level. The maximum number of articles was published in 2021 with 1918(23.77%) records. The USA has published 1920(28.6%) articles compared to other countries. The degree of collaboration has observed an upward trend in the year 2021(0.96). The uppermost value of the collaborative co-efficient index and the collaborative index was observed in the year 2021 i.e. 0.73 and 4.69 respectively. (The most productive author is “Zhang Y” with 40(0.49) records.)
