Aims: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stromal cells that are differentiated due to their differentiation potential and immunomodulatory activities, which is highly relevant to regenerative medicine and hematological therapies. MSCs remain one of the most actively pursued research areas in bioengineering, however, their bibliometric structure in the context of hematology is MSCs has not been thoroughly investigated. In this particular case, we set out to assess MSCs in the field of hematology by evaluating scientific output, its thematic evolution, as well as patterns of global collaboration using bibliometric techniques. Methods: With the keyword “MSCs” in the title and restricted to the “hematology” category, a total of 1.656 publications from the years 2005 to 2024 were retrieved using Web of Science Core Collection. The data was analyzed using VOSviewer (v1.6.11) and SPSS (v25.0). Trends in annual publication activities, journal output per publication, citation rates of the most cited works, co authored keyword networks, institutional and author cooperation networks, and and citation activity by country was examined. Results: As noted, there was a significant increase in the publication rate from 2011-2015, followed by a decrease after this period. Over 65% of publications were contributed by two journals–Stem Cells and Development and Stem Cells. Studies that received the most citations concentrated on the immunomodulatory mechanisms of MSCs and the specific properties of tissues. University of Genoa claimed the highest citation count per article, whereas Chinese higher education institutions published the most on the topic. Core themes such as ‘differentiation,’ ‘bone marrow,’ ‘transplantation,’ and ‘exosomes’ emerged from the analysis on keyword clustering. The most noteworthy research backbone on the topic was developed collaboratively between the US and China, who both possessed strong global network intercontinental links. Conclusion: Research on MSCs in the context of hematology showcases mature thematic development, intensive institutional collaboration, and regional collaboration clustering. The area of MSCs in hematology indicates foundational research exhaustion, but an expanding focus on exosomes and therapies that do not involve cells signals prospective, shift aimed at clinical. The work can strategically direct funding, policy, and interdisciplinary collaboration MSCs in policymaking guidance MSCs in hematology applications mean interdisciplinary MSCs guide policy.

PurposeUnderstanding trends in female researcher representation can inform strategies to improve equity in academic ophthalmology. This study evaluates authorship and citation trends over 25 years amongst the highest-cited articles in leading ophthalmology journals to assess female co-authorship and differences in authors' degrees in publications at a highly visible research level.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 443 authors who published the most highly cited articles in high-impact journals from 2000 to 2024. Articles were chosen as the three most cited articles per year from the three highest-impact ophthalmology journals per h5-index. Identities were confirmed via institutional websites, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Gender and degrees were determined using professional profiles. Outcomes included authorship position, first-last author pairings, citation impact, and differences in authors' degrees by gender.ResultsFrom 2000 to 2024, female first authorship rose 38.11%, and overall authorship 43.73%. Female last authorship, though lowest, increased the most (53.63%). Female co-authorship and overall representation peaked in 2010-2014. Male first-authored papers had more citations (p = 0.011) and were 9.36 times more likely to involve same-gender mentors (CI [4.56, 19.23], p < 0.00001). Men were more often ophthalmologists; women more frequently held PhDs, PharmDs, or ODs (p = 0.0036).ConclusionsFemale authorship is rising, but citation gaps and underrepresentation persist. Non-physician female research and female co-authorship success suggest mentorship and interdisciplinary work may enhance women's visibility in ophthalmology research. Continued interventions to promote female ophthalmic career networks are essential in closing the gender gap in research and fostering equitable professional advancement.

This study aims to conduct a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the scientific literature on 'AI Anxiety' published between 2011 and 2024. A total of 80 articles indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection database were analysed. The study evaluated parameters including the most cited publications, annual distribution of research, contributing countries, leading publishers, main research domains, and keyword trends. Network analyses involving coauthorship, author citations, institutional citations, and country-level citations were conducted using VOSviewer software. The findings indicate a notable increase in AI Anxiety-related studies, particularly between 2021 and 2024. Highly cited articles include works by Youn (2021) and Wang (2022). The United States emerged as the leading contributor, followed by China and Türkiye. Prominent publishers were Elsevier, Springer Nature, and Taylor & Francis. In the coauthorship network, authors such as Merlo and Johnson occupied central positions. Frequently used keywords included 'Artificial Intelligence', 'AI Anxiety', 'Technology Acceptance Model', and 'Trust'. Country citation analysis revealed that the United States and China occupied central roles with strong citation linkages to other countries. The study highlights the growing scholarly interest in the psychological and societal implications of artificial intelligence. It also provides a roadmap for future research directions by identifying key contributors, collaborative patterns, and thematic trends within the field of AI Anxiety.

Abstract Background The promotion of the academic development of nurses and midwives in Bulgaria already has serious traditions, which place high demands on their scientific activity. The issue of violations of publication ethics is relevant for all fields of science, which directed our attention to studying the awareness of nurses and midwives about them. Methods As part of a larger scientific study, we conducted an anonymous survey among a total of 746 individuals (7.8% lecturers, 73.6% practicing nurses, and 18.7% interns) from higher education institutions and hospitals in the country. Regarding publication ethics, we surveyed the respondents about which violations they were familiar with and which of them they had encountered in publications by Bulgarian nurses and midwives. Results According to the lecturers, who are also the most involved in scientific work and have more publications, the most common violations are “incorrect citation of other authors” (31.7%) “inclusion in the authorship of persons who do not meet the criteria” (28.6%); and “multiple publication of the same scientific material” (22.2%). According to the practicing nurses, the most common are “plagiarism” (28.8%); “fabrication (compilation) of results” (25.6%), and “falsification (adjustment) of results” (23.7%). According to the students, the most common, are “compilation of results” (33.0%) and “plagiarism” (22.3%). However, we do not have information about the source of the shared opinions and how objective they are. There is also a significant share of respondents who have never encountered any of the mentioned violations (30.2% lecturers, 35.2% interns, and 41.7% practicing nurses). Conclusions There is a need for more popularity of the principles of publication ethics among nurses and midwives in Bulgaria, which will contribute to preventing violations and rejection of manuscripts for publication. Key messages • It is necessary to include in the education of nurses and midwives the study of the principles of publication ethics in order to prevent violations. • Knowledge of violations of publication ethics by Bulgarian nurses and midwives will increase the scientific value of their publications.

Azonal communities of ravine forests are often confined to pristine sites, and represent habitats with species-rich biota. Despite their significance for conservation biology, little attention has been paid to this vegetation in the Caucasus, one of the global biodiversity hotspots. Aims: (a) to describe the variability, ecology, and distribution patterns of ravine forests at lower elevations of Colchis in Georgia; (b) to examine the syntaxonomic position of Colchic and Caucasian ravine forests; and (c) to outline the relationships between the identified vegetation types and environmental as well as biogeographic factors. Study area: Georgia, Türkiye. Methods: Two classification analyses (beta-flexible clustering) were performed; the first on vegetation plots of ravine forests (n = 45) from Georgian Colchis, the second on an extended dataset (n = 134) that included additional plots of Caucasian ravine forests and the alliance Alnion barbatae.NMDS was applied to visualize patterns of similarity among the communities. Results: Three associations of Colchic ravine forests were distinguished, mainly reflecting the climate and bedrock: Polysticho woronowii-Ulmetum glabrae (wet climate, volcanics), Pterido creticae-Tilietum begoniifoliae (wet climate, limestones), and Polysticho aculeati-Tilietum begoniifoliae (drier climate, limestones). The classification of the extended dataset resulted in two main clusters, Colchic alluvial forests (Populetalia albae) and scree and ravine forests (Aceretalia pseudoplatani). A further partitioning distinguished between Caucasian and Colchic ravine forests. The latter represent a newly established alliance Pterido creticae-Tilion begoniifoliae, characterised by a wealth of Colchic endemic and relict species. These forests are of particular importance for safeguarding the Colchic forest biota. Conclusions: The variability of the Colchic ravine forests primarily reflects site-specific and climatic conditions, which allow their classification into three distinct associations. These stands constitute a novel alliance which complements the so-far known vegetation diversity of the prominent Colchic forests, a hotspot of Tertiary relict flora in the Northern Hemisphere.

Introduction Bibliometric analysis serves as a valuable method to evaluate the scientific impact of published literature, highlight influential authors and institutions, and uncover gaps in knowledge within a specific field. This study aimed to update and assess the 100 most-cited articles on guided endodontics published between 2018 and 2024. Methods A thorough search was conducted in the Web of Science (WoS) database using keywords related to guided endodontics. Relevant articles were selected based on predefined inclusion criteria. Data were extracted on citation counts, publication year, journal, authorship, country of origin, study design, and research focus. The top 100 most-cited articles were analyzed using bibliometric methods to evaluate author productivity, geographic distribution, study designs, and citation impact. Results The 100 most-cited articles received between 1 and 100 citations in the (WoS) (All Databases). Most were published in first quartile (Q1) journals (n = 60), with 2021 being the most productive year (n = 27). Journal of Endodontics (JOE) had the highest number of publications (28%), followed by the International Endodontic Journal (8%), Australian Endodontic Journal (8%), and Clinical Oral Investigations (5%). Discussion Brazil led in the number of publications (n = 17), followed by Germany and the United States. The predominance of Q1 journal publications and the increase in recent years reflect growing interest in guided endodontics. The most active authors and countries represent research hubs in the field. However, the relatively modest citation numbers suggest that this area of study is still developing. Conclusion Thomas Connert emerged as the most prolific author, with ten publications that have played a significant role in advancing guided endodontics. This bibliometric analysis may serve as a foundation for setting future research priorities and fostering international collaborations in the field.

Professionalism is one of the core competencies required by the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA). The purpose of this study was to determine if publication inaccuracies exist among applicants OMS residency programs. Retrospective cohort observational study of OMS applications to the Emory University oral and maxillofacial surgery program from 2017 to 2020. Information was obtained from the ADEA PASS application portal. The primary predictor variable was the sum of peer-reviewed publications reported by each applicant. The primary outcome variable was the presence of an inaccuracy in an application and the secondary outcome variable was the severity of inaccuracy (major or minor) according to previously reported method. Major inaccuracies consist of misrepresentation of publication authorship, verifiability, peer-review status, or journal citation. Minor inaccuracies are incorrect author order or citation errors (e.g. title misspellings). Of the applications sent, 578 applications met the inclusion criteria. One in twelve applicants was found to have at least one inaccuracy in their application. Applicants who reported more than two peer-reviewed publications or included at least one non-peer-reviewed publication were more likely to have a publication inaccuracy (p < 0.001 and p = 0.011, respectively). Our preliminary data demonstrates publication inaccuracies occur among OMS applicants. There may be an increased association between applicants who report more than one peer-reviewed article and inaccuracies. With this data, OMS programs may consider checking details of applicants who report more publications than their peers.

Scientific productivity in the field of rhinoplasty: A bibliometric analysis on global trends and regional contributions.

In the digital age, smartphone use among university students has become problematic, with implications for education and personal well-being. This study aimed to investigate research directions on problematic smartphone use among students, gaps in the field, and emerging research directions, along with validating the data among some Romanian students, as a preliminary perspective. The first part of the study included a bibliometric investigation using the Web of Science Core Collection database and version 1.6.20 of the VOSviewer software; 593 papers were validated for the period 2007–2025 (5 February), which allowed us to analyze author networks, citations, keywords, and collaborations. The second part of the research was based on a cross-sectional study to capture the particularities of this phenomenon among some Romanian students. Smartphone use also appears to be problematic among the Romanian surveyed students, as is the international trend; the responses of the surveyed students show the existence of compulsive behavior towards smartphone use, which suggests a self-control conflict. This comprehensive investigation allows for the prediction of trends and provides relevant information for future research, as well as serving as a basis for political and academic decisions, for sustainable digital transformation within universities and to the achievement of sustainable education.
