Bibliometric Analysis of the Joint Diseases and Related Surgery: Part-2: The period after the SCI-E

Aim: The first part of this article, the pre-SCI-E period, was previously published in Acta Medica Alanya as ‘Bibliometric analysis of the Journal of Joint Diseases and Related Surgery (JDRS). In this article, in the second part of the study, the factors affecting citation and the definition of bibliometric data in the post-SCI-E period were investigated by scanning Google Scholar, Scopus and WOS. Methods: This second study was designed as retrospective bibliometric. Articles were reviewed beginning from 2007 when the Journal covered by SCI-E, up to 2020 when it covered by PMC. Both authors scanned one by one the articles published in the JDRS Journal within the above stated time period, according to the Turkish-English or English titles and by using the information available on the journal's website for each article. At the end of year 2021 and in a 3 month period all articles were chronologically scanned in Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. All accessed articles were analyzed according to the characteristics and institutions of the authors, also language, type, topic, and discipline of the article. Results: Scanning for Scopus, Google, and WOS showed that the mean number of citations were 7.69 ± 11.72 for Google Scholar, 5.11 ± 6.88 for Scopus, and 4.36 ± 6.18 for WOS. In the last step of the logistic regression model analysis performed with the backward stepwise method; the article year-volume, male author, foreign author, article subtopic (6), article type (2), article type (1), and article language (1) were found to be variables effective on having a citation. In the linear regression analysis, the male sex variable was found to be significant for citations in all databases. English as the article language was a significant variable in citations, in all databases and subvariables. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that research articles and/or review articles contribute significantly to citations, and having English as the article language is important. Also, acceptance of articles that may call the attention of more than one specialty may increase the number of citations.

Virtual Surgical Planning in Craniofacial Surgery: The Top 50 Most Frequently Cited Papers.

Background: Reporting the 50 most cited manuscripts on virtual surgical planning (VSP) for craniofacial surgery, thereby providing a comprehensive review of landmark papers. Methods: The Web of Science Citation Index was used to identify the 50 most cited manuscripts on VSP in craniofacial surgery. These were classified by level of evidence, type of study, topic of interest, and anatomic site. Results: The mean number of citations was 126.3 ± SD 51.7. Twenty were clinical papers: 9 reviews, and 21 workflow or technology. The most common level of evidence (LoE) was 4 (n = 12), followed by 3 (n = 6), 2 (n = 1), and 5 (n = 1). Thirty-nine of 50 articles focused on the maxillomandibular area of the face, 5 zygomatic, 5 orbit, 2 cranial vault, and 1 nasal ethmoid bone. The majority of articles (37 of 50) were on orthognathic surgery, 11 facial reconstruction, 2 calvarium reconstruction or craniosynostosis, and 2 free flap procedures. Year of publication ranged from 2000 to 2019; 34 articles were published in craniomaxillofacial journals. Conclusion: VSP is a relatively new technology and most highly cited articles on this topic pertain to workflow, technology, and protocols, as these are necessary for its integration into clinical practice. In our list, VSP was most used in orthognathic surgery; however, due to the potential increased efficiency and accuracy, it is being explored in other areas of craniofacial surgery such as facial reconstruction and craniosynostosis. Accordingly, we expect to see increasingly widespread usage of VSP in other areas of surgery, which could potentially lead to highly cited papers.

It demonstrates key contributions made by different countries, institutions, journals, and authors, providing a valuable framework for understanding the evidence supporting the management of these aneurysms.

Scientific production on robotic metabolic and bariatric surgery: a comprehensive bibliometric analysis on its current world status.

Robotic metabolic and bariatric surgery (RMBS) has emerged as an innovative approach in the treatment of severe obesity by combining the ergonomic precision of robotic technology and instrumentation with the established benefits of weight loss surgery. This study employs a bibliometric approach to identify local research trends and worldwide patterns in RMBS. The research methodology used "robotic" and "metabolic" or "bariatric surgery" to search Web of Science. Articles that were published prior to December 31st, 2023, were included. The analyses were developed using the Rayyan and Bibliometric, in R Studio. 265 articles from 51 different journals were included. Scientific production of RMBS experienced a significant annual growth rate of 21.96% from 2003 to 2023, resulting in an average of 12.6 papers published per year. A high correlation (R2 = 0.94) was found between the year and number of articles. The mean number of citations per document was 13.25. Approximately 90% of the journals were classified as zone 3, according to the Bradford categorization. International collaboration was identified in 10.57% of cases, with the University of California and the University of Illinois being the most common organizations. The countries with the highest number of corresponding authors, in descending order, were the United States of America, China, and Switzerland. Scientific production in RMBS has experienced sustained growth since the first original publications in 2003. While it has not yet reached the volume, impact, and international collaboration seen in studies related to non-robotic metabolic and bariatric surgery, RBMS holds potential that remains to be explored.

Positive and negative correlations were found between the number of citations and citation density and age of publication. While the mean number of citations was significantly higher in the period 2001–2010 compared to the other periods (P < 0.05), values were similar between the periods 1990–2000 and 2011–2014 (P > 0.05). Articles were mainly published in the Journal of Endodontics. The most productive country, institutions, and author were the United States, the University of Showa, and Koukichi Matsumoto. Diode and Er: YAG lasers were commonly investigated. Ex vivo studies were mainly performed followed by in vitro ones. The main study field was “antimicrobial effect”. Among keywords, “photodynamic therapy” was used more frequently. Conclusion: Lasers are predominantly utilized to leverage their antimicrobial efficacy. Advancements in technology will lead to improvements in the properties of lasers, thereby enhancing the disinfection of the root canal system.

Has COVID-19 affected the publication productivity of neurosurgeons in UK and Republic of Ireland? A bibliometric analysis.

Our aim was to determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the publication productivity of neurosurgeons in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland. Using bibliometric data we quantified and analysed the academic output of neurosurgeons in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, and the Republic of Ireland, between two time periods i.e., January 2017 to December 2019 and January 2020 to March 2022, as a representative capture of the academic climate before and after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. The consultant neurosurgeons were grouped according to their departments, title, sex, subspecialities and additional research qualifications. Using data charts on Scopus author directory, the total number of publications, citations and h-indices of each neurosurgeon were obtained over the two time periods. The median and mean of these 3 parameters were computed and the median values were analysed and tested for significance using a Mann Whitney-U test according to the groups. Our analysis conveyed a statistically significant increase (2440 publications and between January 2020 and March 2022 there were 2548 publications p<0.05) in the total number of publications after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic compared to before. There was a statistically significant decrease in the mean number of citations (mean 55.24 vs 57.01, p<0.05), after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. This trend was observed in both sexes, in authors without an additional MD/PhD and in authors who sub-specialized in neuro-oncology. Overall, there was a significant decrease in H-index after the start of the pandemic compared to before (median h-index:1.00 and 2.00; mean h-index:1.8 and 3.4 respectively). There appears to be an apparent increase in total number of publications after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, most authors have registered a reduction in citations and h-indices, suggesting a lower impact and unequal distribution of the abovementioned increase.

The majority of the studies were of the cross-sectional type (39%). Conclusion: Evaluation of the 100 most cited articles in the area of enamel defects allowed better understanding of the world scenario with reference to MIH.

The 25 Most Cited Articles in Pediatric Orthopaedic Sports Medicine.

Citation analysis reflects the influence a work has on a field of research and can be used to identify "classic" works and their qualities in medical specialties. By analyzing the characteristics of these works, we intended to determine what qualities make for a highly cited work in pediatric orthopaedic sports medicine. To identify the top 25 most cited articles in the field of pediatric orthopaedic sports medicine. Cross-sectional study. The Science Citation Index Expanded feature within the Web of Science database was searched using a Boolean string, generating 2008 pediatric orthopaedic sports medicine articles arranged by number of citations. The top 25 most cited articles were reviewed for authors, year of publication, source journal, country of origin, region of origin, diagnosis or condition of focus, and level of evidence (LOE). Most of the articles were published in the 2000s (range, 1992-2016). The mean number of citations was 166 (range, 119-329), and the mean citation density was 13.25 (range, 4.25-29.57). There were 18 of 25 studies performed in the United States. A plurality of the articles were published in the American Journal of Sports Medicine. The LOE ranged from 2 to 4, with the most common being level 2 (11/25). Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury management (14/25) and epidemiological studies on the incidence of various sports injuries (6/25) were the most represented topics of study. Since the 1990s, the mean citation density for articles related to ACL injuries in young athletes and the epidemiology of sports injuries has been increasing. This evaluation demonstrated that ACL injuries and the epidemiology of sports injuries had the highest citation density of the most influential studies in pediatric orthopaedic sports medicine. We identified attributes such as country of publication, journal of publication, and LOE that make for a highly cited pediatric orthopaedic sports medicine article. Overall, citation density in pediatric sports medicine is increasing. Nonetheless, the most represented LOE in the most cited works is level 2, with no level 1 studies being represented in the top 25. In terms of both topics and LOE, this study allows surgeons to identify deficiencies in the existing literature and meaningfully design future studies to improve on these.

Top 100 most-cited scientific articles in regenerative endodontics 2019-2023: A bibliometric analysis.

Bibliometric analysis is a critical indicator of the influence and relevance of scientific papers, whilst also highlighting key contributors and gaps in knowledge in a scientific field. To update and analyse the 100 most-cited papers in regenerative endodontics from 2019 to 2023. A search of the most-cited recent papers focusing on regenerative endodontics using journals included in the category, 'Dentistry, Oral Surgery & Medicine', in the Clarivate Web of Science database from 2019 to 2023 was performed. Three researchers conducted the study selection and data extraction. Data extraction included publication title and year, authors, number and mean number of citations, institution, country and continent, study design, journal title, keywords and research topic. Citation counts were also collected in Google Scholar and Scopus databases. Graphical bibliometric networks were created using VOSviewer software. The number of citations of the 100 most-cited articles ranged from 6 to 85. Most were published in 2020 (n = 48), principally in the Journal of Endodontics (47%), followed by International Endodontic Journal (13%), Journal of Dental Research (6%) and Dental Materials (6%). Laboratory study was the most common study design amongst the included papers (n = 47), followed by narrative reviews (n = 17) and observational studies (n = 16). The most frequent first author on the top three most-cited papers was Hacer Aksel, whilst Adham A. Azim (n = 6; 89 citations) contributed most to the top 100 articles. The institution from which most articles originated was the University of Hong Kong (China) (n = 5; 81 citations), whereas the corresponding authors were predominantly from the United States of America (USA) (n = 31; 560 citations). The VOSviewer map of co-authorship demonstrated research collaborative clusters. 'Regenerative endodontics' and 'stem-cells' were the most employed keywords (37 and 36 occurrences respectively). The current study was designed not only to showcase the most influential papers in regenerative endodontics since 2019 but also to provide a better understanding of global research in this area over the last five years. This bibliometric analysis highlighted papers, authors, institutions and keywords in regenerative endodontics. The 100 most-cited papers primarily consisted of laboratory studies published in the USA, focusing on evaluating biomaterials and scaffold design strategies in contact with stem cells. Clinical studies and systematic reviews representing higher levels of scientific evidence are currently not the most influential in the regenerative endodontic field.

Predictors of citations and altmetric scores in general surgery literature.

This study aimed to determine various article characteristics influencing the citations and altmetric scores using papers published in a year in four high-ranking surgery journals. We included all papers (n= 819 articles) published between January 2015 to December 2015 in the Annals of Surgery, British Journal of Surgery, JAMA Surgery and Journal of American College of Surgeons. Article characteristics were manually extracted. We determined citation count using the Web of Science database and used univariate analysis and negative binomial regression to determine which article characteristics affect citations and altmetric scores. Mean number of citations and altmetric score received by the article were 44.6 (0-475) and 19.2 (0-665) respectively. Majority of the articles contained at least one citation (98.3%) and altmetric score (98.2%). In regression analysis, citation count was significantly associated with the journal [Annals of Surgery (IRR= 1.93), JAMA surgery (IRR= 1.76)] and non-funded research (IRR= 0.83). The altmetric score was significantly associated with the country of the corresponding author (US) (IRR= 1.3), study subtopic, journal [JAMA surgery (IRR= 2.33)], non-funded (IRR= 0.74) and non-open-access publication (IRR= 0.44). Article metrics were found to be associated with specific study subtopics, country of the corresponding author, funding, open-access publication and the journal. These results might help editors, reviewers and authors to produce, review and publish more impactful studies. A similar study in the future may help to better understand the changing dynamics of academic publishing.

Top 50 most cited articles about female sexual dysfunction: a bibliometric analysis.

Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) consists of low libido, sexual arousal problems, anorgasmia, and dyspareunia. Sexual function is an important aspect of life for many women and is closely correlated with overall well-being. FSD is often underrepresented in the academic space when compared with male sexual disorders, such as erectile dysfunction. As FSD spans many fields (eg, urology, gynecology, psychology), bibliometric analyses are an important resource to highlight landmark articles. To identify key articles about FSD by citation number and bibliometric analysis to facilitate future scholarly efforts into more FSD research. We searched for articles in the Web of Science Core Collection between 1900 and 2023 using terms specific to FSD. We identified relevant FSD articles and selected the top 50 most cited. A bibliometric analysis was performed to collect and analyze data about title, authorship, publication year, citation number, journal and impact factor, country and institution, study type, citation index, specialty, and conflict of interest. An overall 6858 results were identified. The top 50 most cited articles were published between 1997 and 2014 in 12 countries, across 32 institutions, and in 20 journals. The United States produced the most articles. The Journal of Sexual Medicine published the most articles. The mean number of citations per article was 351.64. Observational studies were most common. More than half were sponsored. Of all the specialties, most articles were categorized as urology and nephrology. Research about FSD has been much less impactful than research about male sexual dysfunction, possibly owing to stigma and decreased clinical training. As FSD covers many fields, bibliometric analyses are invaluable to understand the vast body of knowledge. We hope that this research emphasizes the lack of attention that FSD has had and that it provides health care professionals with a valuable tool to understand the trajectory of FSD to guide future education efforts.

The articles written in English and other languages were included in the analysis. Total number of articles found was 1,449. The mean number of citations per article was 177. The citation count ranged from 24 to 1,191. The articles with citations >30 were included in the study. The majority of articles (n = 175) were published between 2016 and 2023. Among the highly cited articles, the most prevalent topic of interest was biomarker discovery. Most of the articles were original articles. The continent of origin for most of the articles was the United States of America (n = 163), Europe (n = 145), United Kingdom (n = 23), Asia (n = 23), Australia (n = 14), etc. Conclusion: The analysis of articles on biomarker discovery for IBS will help in understanding the requirement for unmet need for the discovery of biomarker for IBS. The current bibliometric study has highlighted the work of authors with advanced knowledge about discovery of the biomarker for IBS. This study will help to identify the current trends in the biomarker discovery for IBS and help for the further evolution of the field.

(001) Top 50 Most Cited Articles About Female Sexual Dysfunction: A Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract Introduction Female sexual dysfunction (FSD), as recognized by the American Foundation for Urologic Disease, consists of low libido, problems with sexual arousal, inability to achieve orgasm, and dyspareunia. Sexual function is an important aspect of life for many women and is closely correlated with overall well-being. This dysfunction is often underrepresented in the academic space when compared to male sexual disorders, such as erectile dysfunction (ED). As FSD spans the fields of Urology, Gynecology, Psychology, and Endocrinology, bibliometric analyses are an important resource to understand the vast body of knowledge by highlighting landmark papers. Objective The objective of this study was to identify key articles about FSD using citation number and bibliometric analysis to facilitate future scholarly efforts into more research on FSD through a multidisciplinary perspective. Methods We searched for articles in the Web of Science Core Collection between 1900 to 2023 using terms specific to FSD. We identified relevant FSD articles and selected the top 50 most cited (T50). A bibliometric analysis was performed to collect and analyze data about title, authorship, publication year, citation number, journal and impact factor, country and institution, study type, citation index, specialty, and conflict of interest. Citation index was calculated as citations/years since publication to determine citations per year. Results 6,858 results were identified and T50 articles were published between 1997-2014 in 12 countries, across 32 different institutions, and in 20 journals. Most articles were published in 2007 while most citations occurred in articles published in 1999. The most cited article (4020 citations), The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI): A multidimensional self-report instrument for the assessment of female sexual function by R. Rosen, also had the most citations per year (174.78 citation/year). The USA produced the most articles, specifically through University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. Journal of Sexual Medicine published the most articles. The mean number of citations per article was 351.64. Observational studies were most common while reviews were least common. Less than half were sponsored. Of all the specialties that FSD spans, most articles were published in Urology &amp; Nephrology, then Psychology, then Obstetrics and Gynecology. Research about FSD has been less impactful and influential than research about male sexual dysfunction, which is evidenced in the lower median citation number (209.00 vs. 364.00 citations, respectively) and total number of articles in WoS (6,858 vs 24,941 articles, respectively) for FSD compared to ED. Since FSD and male sexual dysfunction have about equal prevalence, this disparity may be due to the reluctance of female patients to discuss sexual issues due to shame. Conclusions This is the first bibliometric analysis to identify the characteristics of T50 articles in FSD. This list emphasizes the lack of attention that FSD has had in medical research and underscores the obvious discrepancy between research into FSD and male sexual dysfunction. We hope to provide healthcare professionals with a valuable resource to understand the vast body of knowledge and trajectory of FSD to guide future research and education. Disclosure No.

Impact analysis of primary and secondary research in radiology journals

Primary and secondary studies are considered the two major research categories. In this study, we examined the scientific and social media impact of primary and secondary publication types in papers published radiological journals during 2010-2020. PubMed publication type tags were used to filter original articles and systematic review and meta-analysis (SR/MA) articles. Clarivate Web of Science was utilized to obtain a list of all radiology journals from the category "Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging" in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE). Automated approach was developed for programmatic extraction of bibliometric and Altmetric yearly citations of each included article using Dimensions API and Altmetric API with Python. Statistical analysis was performed to compare the citation rates between primary and secondary research articles. A total of 96,684 published articles from 2010 to 2020 were identified and their meta-data collected. The mean 2-year citation count following publication year was 5.8 for primary research and 10.2 for SR/MA articles (p<0.001). Between 2010 and 2020, the mean number of citations per SR/MA article was 51.3 compared to 30.5 per primary research article (p<0.001). Mean Altmetric score was 8.2 in SR/MA compared to 3.7 for primary research articles (p<0.001). Secondary research studies have been increasing in impact in both academia and social media compared to primary research. Our results highlight the importance and impact of systematic reviews and meta-analysis articles as a scientifically influential study type in radiology.

A search of the most cited papers on DM using journals included in the category "Dentistry, Oral Surgery and Medicine" in the Web of Science database up to January 2023 was performed. The complete bibliographic records of the selected papers were exported in plain text or Research Information Systems (RIS) file format. The following bibliometric indicators were collected: title, year, authors, number of citations, mean number of citations, institution, country, continent, study design, journal, impact factor, and keywords. Graphical bibliometric networks were created using the VOSviewer software. The number of citations for the 100 most-cited papers in DM research ranged from 111 to 566. Six papers each had more than 400 citations. Most were observational studies (n = 50) from the United States (USA) (n = 23) and were published in the Journal of Periodontology (30%; n=30). Robert Genco was the most cited author and contributed the most to the top 100 articles (3,653 citations; n = 13). The VOSviewer map of co-authorship showed the existence of clusters in research collaboration. The most prolific institutions were the Universities of Buffalo and Michigan (n = 6 each). "Diabetes mellitus" was the most frequent keyword, with 31 occurrences. In conclusion, the most cited studies that investigated the relationship between dentistry and DM were in periodontology. Observational studies, primarily from the USA, have been the most cited thus far.

Perioperative geriatrics: A bibliometric analysis of the top 100 cited articles in an emerging specialty.

The success of modern medicine has led to surgery being performed on an increasingly older, frailer and more comorbid population. As a result, perioperative geriatrics has emerged as an important specialty, relevant to both medical and surgical disciplines. Only a small number of papers have been published on the topic. A bibliometric analysis is used to identify themes and trends in current research and practice. To identify and describe research topics relating to perioperative geriatrics; to find themes and gaps in the current literature. Thompson Reuters Web of Science indexing database was searched for all manuscripts relating to perioperative geriatrics. Of these, the top 100 were subcategorised into manuscript type, age, theme, specialty, journal and citation rate. The highest cited article was by Bhandari et al with 294 citations. The highest citation rate was achieved by Partridge et al, with 23.75 citations/year. Across the series, the mean number of citations was 50.41 (range 294-12). The highest number of manuscripts were published between 2010 and 2019 (n = 55), with 70% of manuscripts published in journals with impact factor <5. The specialty with the highest number of publications was orthopaedics (n = 36). Most articles focussed on surgical management of geriatrics patients, followed by anaesthetic management. This is the first bibliometric analysis of the top 100 most cited papers in perioperative geriatrics. Only 395 papers were returned, indicating that this needs to be further researched as a topic. Key themes identified were surgical management of hip fractures and anaesthetic preoperative assessment. Emerging themes from this study highlight the need for perioperative publications in the fields of geriatric vascular, general, plastic and gynaecology.

Metadata were collected and analysed using bibliometrix and R package. The 100 most-cited articles (83 articles and 17 reviews) were published between 1971 and 2018. Those articles were cited 28 550 times, with a mean number of citations of 285.5 and a range of 189 - 812. A statistically significant positive correlation was observed in the number of the articles and citations score per year (r=0.635, p&lt;0.001). Fifty-eight of the articles originated from the USA, with 52 in single-country publications and 6 in multiple-country publications. These articles were published in 58 journals, and the American Journal of Epidemiology published the most significant number of articles (n=8). Analysis through source clustering using Bradford’s Law indicated that the top 7 journals are in zone 1 (core journal) for the fields. The most prolific author is Gilliland, with h_index 5. The highest frequency keywords are pregnancy, smoking, maternal smoking, asthma, prenatal, environmental tobacco smoke, infant, abruptio placentae, birthweight and child. Our study offers researchers a thorough examination of the traits of the 100 articles on maternal smoking during pregnancy that have received the most citations, and a way to pinpoint any remaining research gaps.

Acanthamoeba keratiti ile ilgili bilimsel literatürün bibliyometrik analiz

İntroduction: Our research aimed to assess Acanthamoeba keratitis research trends and compare contributions from various nations, institutions, journals, and authors. &#x0D; &#x0D; Methodology: A bibliometric design was used. We used the Web of Science database to extract all Acanthamoeba keratitis articles from 1970 to 2021. To collect publishing data, analyze publication trends, and visualize relevant data, Microsoft Excel and VOSviewer were used. &#x0D; &#x0D; Results: 171 (31.784 %) of them were published as open Access. 92.751% of them were published in Science Citation Index Expanded indexed journals. The mean number of citations was 13733, with a median of 25.53, and the H index was 63. 77.32 % of the articles were published since 2000. University of Texas in the United States had the highest number of publications (78, 14.499%), followed by the University of London in the UK (63,11.71%). The United States (USA) ranked first in the number of publications (151, 28.067%), followed by the United Kingdom (49, 9.108%) and Germany (31, 5.762%). Publications from the USA were cited 6,344 times (42.01/median per publication), while publications from the UK were cited 2,949 times (60.18/median per publication). Acanthamoeba keratitis research has increased significantly in the last 15 years. &#x0D; &#x0D; Conclusions: With the use of information visualization analysis, we were able to gain a wide understanding of the state of affairs, recognize trends, and identify hotspots. It is a more effective way to learn the literature and could give future researchers summarized data

Evaluation of Publications from the American Academy of Ophthalmology: A 5-Year Analysis of Ophthalmology Literature

To analyze recent publications in Ophthalmology, the journal of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. Retrospective review of published articles. No human participants were involved in the study. Articles published in Ophthalmology from January 2018 to December 2022 were reviewed and analyzed. Research and review articles were included and analyzed per the following: total number of published articles based on related subspecialty area, level of evidence using the modified Oxford level of evidence, number of citations, number of listed authors, gender of the corresponding author, country of affiliation of the corresponding and contributing author(s), and involvement of consortium(s), group(s), or committee(s). A total of 965 articles were included. The mean (standard deviation) number of authors per article was 8.6 (5.7) and the majority of corresponding authors were male (665, 70.7%). The greatest number of published articles were related to retina (296, 30.7%) followed by glaucoma (172, 17.8%). The greatest number of Preferred Practice Pattern guidelines were also related to retina (7/24, 29.1%), followed by cornea/dry eye syndrome/external disease (6/24, 25%). Retina (77) had the most level 1 evidence, glaucoma (30) for level 2 evidence, and retina for levels 3 (69) and 4 (65). There were 223 articles contributed by consortia/groups/committees, with most from retina (73, 32.7%) followed by glaucoma (40, 17.9%). The mean number of citations per subspecialty article was highest in retina (45.8/article), followed by uveitis (31.7/article). The United States had the greatest number of affiliated corresponding authors (544, 56.4%), followed by the United Kingdom (68, 7.0%). There were 357 (37.0%) articles with coauthors affiliated outside the corresponding author's country of affiliation, although with a downward trend over the most recent 5-year period. There has been an increasing trend in the number of authors and consortia/group/committee involvement in publications. Although team science and collaborations have increased recently, ongoing efforts to diversify individuals, groups, and subspecialties may be needed.
