The quality of life of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a bibliometric analysis.

The quality of life (QOL) of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is garnering increasing attention. However, faced with thousands of relevant clinical literature, it is becoming increasingly difficult for researchers and institutions to identify impactful research. Bibliometrics can help researchers quickly and methodically analyze the impact and hot trends of clinical research, strengthen teamwork, and solve related challenges. Therefore, we used bibliometrics to analyze and visualize data on the QOL of patients with COPD over the past 31 years to understand the key authors, research areas, and future trends. We searched the Web of Science Core Collection for literature published since the establishment of the database. The main subject terms used were "chronic obstructive pulmonary disease", "quality of life" and their different combinations. Articles were selected and exported in plain text format along with citation information. Bibliometric analysis and data visualization were performed using the R package "bibliometrix" and by incorporating statistical indicators such as the number of publications, citations and outputs of core authors, author collaborations, major journals, major research countries and collaborations, and key research themes. The bibliometric analysis included 9,219 articles. Document type is unlimited. All publications were published between 1992 and 2022, and the number of published articles increased consistently each year over the past decade, with periodic fluctuations. The European Respiratory Journal and the International Journal of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease emerged as the most frequently cited journals within this domain. Key authors contributing to this field include Wedzicha JA, Jones PW, Singh D, Holland AE, and Wouters EFM. The United States and the United Kingdom exhibited a high volume of publications, high citation rates, and relatively intense international collaboration in related areas, followed by China, Spain, Canada, and Australia in these metrics. Notably, prominent topics within this field included emphysema, pulmonary rehabilitation, dyspnea, acute exacerbation, living status, and mortality, among others.

Comparison of open comments and check-all-that-apply to collect reasons for liking and disliking chocolates in preference mapping

Collecting Open Comments (OC) is a common way to learn about the product features that consumers like and dislike in internal preference mapping studies. OC has the advantage to provide a direct answer to the question “What do you like/dislike about this product?” without consumers. However, because OC does not suggest any sensory terms, consumers sometimes struggle to properly verbalize their perceptions leading to data and information that are difficult to interpret and translate into product improvement recommendations. In addition, the encoding of OC is a cumbersome, time-consuming, and possibly expensive task depending on the context of study. In this context, we explored the use of the Check-All-That-Apply (CATA) method as an alternative to OC to collect reasons for like and dislike reported by consumers. We conducted two parallel studies in which respondents evaluated 6 out of 8 milk chocolates using an incomplete block design. The only noticeable difference between the two studies was that respondents reported reasons for liking and disliking using either OC (n = 204) or CATA (n = 157). Results did not show any striking difference between mean overall liking scores and taste clusters in both studies. The drivers of liking and disliking associated with each product were also largely consistent, although some differences in citation rates and attitudes were noted. For instance, respondents tended to disregard appearance and texture in favor of flavor with OC as compared to CATA. In addition, the drivers of disliking provided by OC were less diverse and less frequently cited than in CATA. Overall, our results suggest that CATA is a promising alternative to OC for liking-oriented product description provided that special care is taken to build a relevant list of CATA terms.

Controlled experiment finds no detectable citation bump from Twitter promotion.

Multiple studies across a variety of scientific disciplines have shown that the number of times that a paper is shared on Twitter (now called X) is correlated with the number of citations that paper receives. However, these studies were not designed to answer whether tweeting about scientific papers causes an increase in citations, or whether they were simply highlighting that some papers have higher relevance, importance or quality and are therefore both tweeted about more and cited more. The authors of this study are leading science communicators on Twitter from several life science disciplines, with substantially higher follower counts than the average scientist, making us uniquely placed to address this question. We conducted a three-year-long controlled experiment, randomly selecting five articles published in the same month and journal, and randomly tweeting one while retaining the others as controls. This process was repeated for 10 articles from each of 11 journals, recording Altmetric scores, number of tweets, and citation counts before and after tweeting. Randomization tests revealed that tweeted articles were downloaded 2.6-3.9 times more often than controls immediately after tweeting, and retained significantly higher Altmetric scores (+81%) and number of tweets (+105%) three years after tweeting. However, while some tweeted papers were cited more than their respective control papers published in the same journal and month, the overall increase in citation counts after three years (+7% for Web of Science and +12% for Google Scholar) was not statistically significant (p > 0.15). Therefore while discussing science on social media has many professional and societal benefits (and has been a lot of fun), increasing the citation rate of a scientist's papers is likely not among them.

Identifying Corridor-Level Safety Improvements for Urban and Suburban Arterials in Florida Within a Safe System Framework

Many agencies have adopted a Safe System approach to improving roadway safety. The Highway Safety Manual (HSM) provides methods for assessing safety, but these models are site-specific and require extensive data, making them difficult to use at large scales. This paper develops a corridor-level methodology for holistically looking at corridors made of consecutive intersections and roadway segments to identify safety improvements which align with the Safe System approach while requiring less data than HSM methods. Using a standardized definition, a total of 549 corridors on urban and suburban arterials across Florida were identified which experienced over 10,000 fatal and serious injury (FSI) crashes from 2017 through 2021. A negative binomial regression model was developed to predict mean FSI (MFSI) crashes at the corridor level (using corridor length as exposure), with the predicted values adjusted using the Empirical Bayes method to provide more accurate results. The significant factors in the model were traffic volume, intersection densities and sizing, area type, bus stop presence, citation rate, and corridor lighting presence. Increasing citation rates (citations/year/mile) for unsafe driving behaviors by one unit was predicted to reduce MFSI crash frequency in corridors by 2%, and corridors without lighting were predicted to experience 2.79 times more MFSI crashes compared with corridors with lighting. Two sister corridors in South Florida with similar roadway characteristics but different crash frequencies were also analyzed. Improvements to lighting and access control in the identified high-risk corridor could help reduce FSI crashes. Overall, this corridor approach can help agencies proactively improve roadway safety.

Temporal precision and resolution of TDS and TCATA used with consumers

Temporal Dominance of Sensations (TDS) and Temporal Check-All-That-Apply (TCATA) make it possible to capture temporal changes in the perception of sensory attributes within a product. However, temporal measurements bring new sources of uncontrolled variability that can make them imprecise, particularly with consumer panels. This article aims to demonstrate the importance of considering this imprecision when interpreting temporal data. First, the levels of imprecision due to non-repeatability or disagreement were assessed. The precision of TDS and TCATA was shown to be low, mainly due to disagreement caused by high heterogeneity in total durations of perception. Then, a new framework of analysis has been introduced. It allowed testing of differences in the median times of selection or unselection of attributes. A new representation of TDS and TCATA data has been proposed to visualize and objectify uncertainty in periods of perception. The conclusions obtained with the new framework were compared to those obtained with the usual analyses based on the evolution of citation rates over time. It was shown that the interpretation of TDS/TCATA curves and difference curves can be tricky without guidelines regarding the minimum size of differences that can be considered significant and interpretable. Finally, it was shown that the temporal resolution of the methods was about 10% of the total duration of the perception. These findings question the ability of TDS and TCATA to capture subtle temporal differences. Therefore, recommendations were made for interpreting temporal data in a way that robust conclusions can be drawn.

This study aimed to demonstrate collaboration in the field of HE and explore key topics and future directions. Bibliometric analyses were conducted using CiteSpace, Bibliometrix package of R, and VOSviewer software on HE-related studies from the Web of Science Core Collection published before August 1, 2023. This study identified 2,605 records published in 196 journals by 9,860 authors from 2,607 institutes in 90 countries. Publications significantly notably increased in 2021. Developing countries like Turkey and China made notable contributions, while developed countries like the USA had higher average citation rates. The largest nodes in every cluster of the collaboration network were Hacettepe University, Tehran University, Xinjiang Medical University, Salford University, and the University of Pavia, and the top-producing authors were Wen H, Vuitton DA, Gottstein B, and Craig PS. Keyword co-occurrence analysis suggested that surgical techniques and novel drugs targeting combined immune checkpoints are the main therapeutic approaches in the future. Although developing countries had significantly contributed to publications on HE, the citation rate for individual articles from developed countries was significantly higher. Additionally, advancements in surgical techniques and novel drugs targeting combined immune checkpoints may emerge as the next research focus and developmental direction.

Extracellular vesicles as a new frontier of diagnostic biomarkers in osteosarcoma diseases: a bibliometric and visualized study.

The use of liquid biopsy in cancer research has grown exponentially, offering potential for early detection, treatment stratification, and monitoring residual disease and recurrence. Exosomes, released by cancer cells, contain tumor-derived materials and are stable in biofluids, making them valuable biomarkers for clinical evaluation. Bibliometric research on osteosarcoma (OS) and exosome-derived diagnostic biomarkers is scarce. Therefore, we aimed to conduct a bibliometric evaluation of studies on OS and exosome-derived biomarkers. Using the Web of Science Core Collection database, Microsoft Excel, the R "Bibliometrix" package, CiteSpace, and VOSviewer software, quantitative analyses of the country, author, annual publications, journals, institutions, and keywords of studies on exosome-derived biomarkers for OS from 1995 to 2023 were performed. High-quality records (average citation rate ≥ 10/year) were filtered. The corresponding authors were mainly from China, the USA, Australia, and Canada. The University of Kansas Medical Center, National Cancer Center, Japan, and University of Kansas were major institutions, with limited cooperation reported by the University of Kansas Medical Center. Keyword analysis revealed a shift from cancer progression to mesenchymal stem cells, exosome expression, biogenesis, and prognostic biomarkers. Qualitative analysis highlighted exosome cargo, including miRNAs, circRNAs, lncRNAs, and proteins, as potential diagnostic OS biomarkers. This research emphasizes the rapid enhancement of exosomes as a diagnostic frontier, offering guidance for the clinical application of exosome-based liquid biopsy in OS, contributing to the evolving landscape of cancer diagnosis.

Analysis on open data as a foundation for data-driven research

AbstractOpen Data, one of the key elements of Open Science, serves as a foundation for “data-driven research” and has been promoted in many countries. However, the current status of the use of publicly available data consisting of Open Data in new research styles and the impact of such use remains unclear. Following a comparative analysis in terms of the coverage with the OpenAIRE Graph, we analyzed the Data Citation Index, a comprehensive collection of research datasets and repositories with information of citation from articles. The results reveal that different countries and disciplines tend to show different trends in Open Data. In recent years, the number of data sets in repositories where researchers publish their data, regardless of the discipline, has increased dramatically, and researchers are publishing more data. Furthermore, there are some disciplines where data citation rates are not high, but the databases used are diverse.

Does Reader Engagement with Neurosurgery Journal Websites Correlate with the Number of Citations Received by Articles?

Medicine has begun adapting to new information-sharing paradigms in the hyper-connected social media era. In this milieu, the role of journal websites in the dissemination of clinical and research information needs to be reevaluated. We sought to explore whether reader engagement with neurosurgical journal websites, reflected by the number of article views and downloads, correlated with the eventual number of citations received by the articles. The websites of all Medline indexed neurosurgical journals were screened to identify those that provided information regarding the number of abstract and full text views and downloads. Articles published in these journals between July 2010 and June 2011 were included in this analysis. Various article attributes were identified and the number of citations per article was obtained from Google Scholar. The impact factors of the selected journals for the year 2010 were obtained from the Journal Citation Reports. Twenty-two journals that had published 2527 articles were finally included in this analysis. The number of abstract views, full-text views, and downloads all correlated strongly with the journal impact factors in 2010 as well as the eventual citations per article. The number of article downloads independently predicted the citations per article on multivariate analysis. Neurology India had significantly higher article views and downloads but lower citations per article than the other journals. Readers were found to engage significantly with neurosurgical journal websites and therefore, open access to articles would lead to increased visibility of articles, resulting in higher citation rates.
