Research progress of early brain Injury in subarachnoid hemorrhage from 2004 to 2024: a bibliometric analysis.

Early brain injury (EBI) after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a clear correlation with poor prognosis. In the past 20 years, the research on EBI has increased rapidly. However, there is a lack of bibliometric analysis related to EBI. The purpose of this study was to identify emerging targets for the treatment of EBI and analyze the current situation and trend of EBI post-SAH in the past 20 years through bibliometric analysis. EBI related literature was retrieved from Web of Science Core Collection during 2004-2024, and analyzed by Microsoft Office Excel 2023, CiteSpace, and VOSviewer. 1364 articles were retrieved, and finally 1271 articles were involved in the analysis. The number of EBI-related articles has grown steadily over the past 20 years. China cooperated most closely with other countries. Loma Linda University was the most productive institution and John H Zhang was the most prolific author. The most productive and co-cited journals were Translational Stroke Research and Stroke, respectively. The burst keywords suggested that EBI research was focusing on cell inflammation and multiple mechanisms of cell damage. This is the first bibliometric analysis of EBI-related studies after SAH. As a critical period for the treatment of SAH, our study will provide a good direction for future investigators.

Bibliometric analysis of the scientific production of rheumatology departments in Spain during the 2013-2022 period.

Bibliometric studies of scientific production in Spanish Rheumatology are scarce. The aim of this study was to analyze the bibliographic production of Rheumatology Services in Spain over the period 2013-2022. Original articles and reviews with the affiliation of the first or corresponding author to a Spanish rheumatology Service/Department/Section/Unit were identified in the Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus databases. Keywords and titles were used to classify articles by field (clinical, epidemiological or basic) and pathology. International collaborations and collaborations between Autonomous Communities (AC) were identified. Quantitative bibliometric indicators were obtained (number of articles published per year, pathology and AC) and impact indicators were obtained (based on the number of citations per article). The H-index was also calculated. The total number of publications was 2321, with an annual growth rate of 4.1% in the period analyzed. In 14.1% of the articles there were international collaborations, mainly with the United States and the United Kingdom, while between ACs the most numerous were between Madrid and Catalonia. The pathologies with the highest H-index were rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthropathies (SpA), osteoarthritis and vasculitis (34, 32, 28 and 26, respectively). The H-index for the Spanish rheumatology services as a whole was 69. The scientific production of rheumatology services/departments/sections/units in our country increased between 2013 and 2022. By pathology, the scientific production in RA and SpA stands out.

Emerging Trends on the Growing Rods in Scoliosis in the Last 20 Years: A Bibliometric Analysis from 2003 to 2024.

Growing rods is a distraction-based, growth-friendly method that is commonly used in the treatment of scoliosis. Studies on growing rods in scoliosis published from 2003 to 2024 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. VOSviewer, Microsoft Excel, and CiteSpace were applied for data analysis. We identified 742 publications on growing rods in scoliosis. The annual number of publications grew steadily. The United States was the most prolific country. University of California, San Diego was the most productive institution. Behrooz A. Akbarnia ranked first among authors regarding the number of articles and citations. The Journal of Pediatric Orthopedics was the most prolific journal. The research topics can be divided into 3 clusters as follows. 1) Complications of growing rods and magnetically controlled rods in early onset scoliosis; 2) growing rods in congenital scoliosis, focusing on pulmonary function and thoracic insufficiency syndrome; and 3) scoliosis management. The frontier directions of current research included magnetically controlled growing rods and growing rods fusion. This study drew a knowledge map of growing rods in scoliosis over the past 2 decades. The changes in research hotspots and current research directions have been summarized. The high costs and limited access to growing rods methodology in less-developed regions highlight the economic and technical challenges of globalizing these advanced treatments.

A brief examination of literature on adult cystic fibrosis: An emerging topic.

Cystic fibrosis (CF), a historically fatal childhood disease, now became a manageable adulthood disease. The transition of the disease to adulthood and the patients to adult physicians raised a new question: What is the extent of adult physicians' contributions to CF literature? We examined the data of all CF publications from Web of Sciences between 1945 and 2023. We determined the adult CF articles by searching for the term "adult" in titles. We analyzed the data in terms of publication years, study types, countries, and languages. A total of 30,944 articles examined. From 1945 to 2023, both the number of published articles (88-10,460), and the number of publishing journals (31-1770) on CF have increased. The number of articles on adult CF has also increased, from only 3 in the first 3 decades up to 716 between 2010 and 2019. While pediatrics was initially the leading journal with the highest number of articles published on CF, general medicine journals, and finally the Journal of Cystic Fibrosis became the leading publisher. The USA were the most productive country on behalf of publication on CF. The increasing number of annual publications clearly shows the growing interest in CF. The increase in the number of articles on adult CF along with the increase in publishing journals provide evidence that the disease is now acknowledged as a disease concerning adults.

A comprehensive analysis of R's application in ecological research from 2008 to 2023

Abstract The field of ecology has been greatly enhanced by the integration of computational tools and statistical methods, with the programming language R emerging as a pivotal and flexible tool for ecological inquiry. As ecological research accelerates, understanding the prevalent trends and specific usage patterns of R in recent studies is crucial. Our investigation explored the use of R and its packages in 125,494 scholarly articles across 40 ecology journals from 2008 to 2023. A considerable number of articles, 52,658 (41.96%), designated R as their principal analytical tool, demonstrating a steady linear growth in its utilization from 10.31% in 2008 to 66.88% in 2023. Twelve R packages, including "lme4," "vegan," "nlme," "MuMIn," "ape," "ggplot2," "car," "mgcv," "MASS," "raster," "multcomp," and "lmerTest," each played a pivotal role in contributing to more than 1,000 scholarly articles. The highest usage rate of the lme4 package indicates that mixed-effect models have a particularly important role in ecological research, and the application of these models has helped ecologists solve many important scientific problems. Journal-specific package preferences aligned with their scientific domains, while the rise in the average number of R packages per article signals a trend towards more complex analytical methods in ecology. Our findings indicate a reciprocal relationship between the development of R and ecological research, underscoring the need for collaboration among quantitative ecologists, R developers, and ecologists to further advance both the language and the field.

Virtual reality and augmented reality-supported K-12 STEM learning: trends, advantages and challenges

Abstract As virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) continue to become popular, there remains a noticeable gap in understanding their potential for enriching science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning among K-12 students. To address this knowledge gap, this study systematically reviewed 117 articles published from 2010 to 2022 on the basis of the technology-based learning model. Following the PRISMA systematic review method, research methods, research participants, learning devices, learning strategies, advantages and challenges of each article were coded and analyzed. In the last six years (i.e., 2017–2022), the overall number of studies experienced rapid growth. The largest number of articles focused on VR/AR-supported K-12 science learning, followed by mathematics and integrated STEM learning. Smartphone/tablet-based AR was the most widely used technology, while very few studies used dedicated immersive AR devices. Most studies focused on the elementary school stage, while VR/AR-supported STEM learning at senior high schools was underexplored. Studies tended to measure the effectiveness of VR/AR by quantitative methods. Situated learning, task-based learning, and game-based learning were the most widely used learning strategies in VR/AR-supported K-12 STEM learning. The advantages of VR/AR in K-12 STEM learning include a positive impact on individual learners and on learning and teaching processes. In contrast, VR/AR also poses a series of challenges to learners, teachers, and schools. The challenges learners face include distractions, decreased efficiency and effectiveness, diminished inquiry and imagination, operational issues, and discomfort. Teachers encounter difficulties maintaining classroom control, designing activities, acquiring technical competence, and adapting to the new role of facilitating student-centered learning. Schools grapple with high costs, inadequate infrastructure, a lack of private virtual spaces, and privacy concerns. Based on our findings, we propose six research agendas to enrich studies on VR/AR-supported K-12 STEM learning, along with a series of significant implications for practitioners to effectively address the intricate challenges of VR/AR implementation and fully harness its potential.

Global research trends in biological therapy for ankylosing spondylitis: A comprehensive visualization and bibliometric study (2004–2023)

ABSTRACT Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease primarily affecting the spine and pelvic bones. Recently, many researchers have confirmed that biological therapy is effective for AS patients, which provides a new perspective for the treatment of AS. This study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of scientific research on AS and biological therapy worldwide and investigate research hotspots and the direction of future trends. Global literature on AS and biological therapy published from 2004 to 2023 was searched in the Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed databases. Visualization and bibliometric analysis were carried out using the VOSviewer and CiteSpace software with the retrieved data regarding countries, institutions, journals, authors, and keywords. A total of 2,243 related articles were included, showing that the number of articles in this field has increased annually. The highest number of articles were from the USA (24.39%), followed by Italy (14.36%), England (12.19%), Germany (10.66%), and Spain (7.86%). Braun J was the most prolific author, with a h-index of 16. The institution with the most articles was Charite Universitatsmedizin Berlin, and the Rheumatology journal had the highest number of publications. “janus kinase inhibitor” and “secukinumab” displayed a notable citation burst in recent years, indicating IL-17i and JAKi are research hotspots. More and more attention has been paid to the association between AS and biological therapy in the past two decades. The USA plays a leading role, and China has made remarkable progress. This study has provided a valuable reference for future research in this field.

Is There a Role for Daratumumab Retreatment in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma?

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematologic disease characterized by the clonal expansion of malignant plasma cells that accumulate in the bone marrow, leading to osteolytic bone disease, hypercalcemia, anemia, and renal dysfunction. Daratumumab was the first monoclonal anti-CD38 antibody approved for the treatment of MM, initially in relapse/refractory settings and, more recently, for newly diagnosed patients. Increased first-line usage of daratumumab will also substantially change treatment approaches for patients with relapsed/refractory disease. Due to the cost and availability of bispecific T cell redirecting antibodies (BsAbs) and chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy (CAR-T) in real-life settings in many countries, retreatment with daratumumab in subsequent lines of therapy might be a reasonable choice. Data regarding efficacy and optimal combinations of daratumumab retreatment are lacking, and here we provide a short literature review of available data. We identified only a small number of articles based on retrospective analysis of medical records in real-life settings. A strong consistency in results regarding response rates and treatment duration was noticed among mainly heavily pre-treated MM patients, with approximately half of patients achieving at least partial remission (PR) after retreatment with daratumumab-based protocol. The duration of treatment and time to the next treatment for retreatment episodes were considerable and consistent with clinical expectations for later lines of therapy. The analysis of data in this literature review indicates that daratumumab retreatment may provide meaningful clinical benefit to some patients with relapsed/refractory MM despite having prior exposure. However, further research is needed to identify clinical and biological parameters that may predict favorable responses to daratumumab retreatment.

A Review on the Impact of a Blended Process-oriented Approach on the English Writing Skills

This study examines the application and efficacy of the blended process-oriented learning method in improving English writing skills among ESL/EFL learners. Data were gathered via an extensive literature analysis employing the key search phrases "blended," "process approach," and "English writing" across three academic databases: Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar. After evaluating 34 preliminary records and implementing rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria, 10 articles were chosen for an in-depth bibliometric analysis. The results indicate that this pedagogical method has been adopted in diverse educational environments throughout Asia and Africa, markedly enhancing students' writing abilities. The paper delineates several technologies employed in these implementations, such as Schoology, MOOCs, Google Classroom, and WeChat. The integrated process-oriented approach enhances writing performance, boosts student enthusiasm, fosters interaction, and solves writing anxiety. Despite the positive outcomes, the study acknowledges limitations, such as the restricted number of articles reviewed and the focus on students' perspectives. Future research should broaden the scope to include more articles and explore teachers' perspectives. The study concludes with recommendations for seamlessly integrating technology into traditional classrooms and emphasizing the indispensable role of instructors in blended learning environments. These insights aim to guide ESL/EFL educators in effectively incorporating blended process-oriented learning into their teaching practices.

Decoupling in Sustainability Reporting: A Systematic Literature Review

ABSTRACTDecoupling in sustainability reporting raises concerns about the credibility of sustainability disclosures. This study conducts a bibliometric review of 74 articles from 44 journals indexed in the Web of Science up to 2023, tracking key trends. The findings reveal two phases in research: an erratic growth from 2012 to 2017, followed by a surge from 2018 to 2023, with almost half of the publications in the last two years. Regulatory frameworks, particularly Directive 2014/95/EU, have notably influenced decoupling practises. Researchers use different proxies to measure decoupling, diverse theoretical lenses and empirical approaches, with China emerging as the most studied country. This study identifies five main research streams: characterisation, drivers, mitigating factors, impacts, and alternative views. Complementary analysis of recent publications confirms this trend, with the largest number of articles being published in 2024. The study contributes to the debate on the implications of decoupling for corporate transparency and accountability.

Resilience and family farming: overview and insights in scientific research

ABSTRACT The significance of family farming in the design of agricultural systems that are more sustainable and resilient to shocks and stresses is becoming increasingly recognized. In this study, we employed a biometric approach to analyze scientific production on family farming and resilience between 2009 and 2023, using the Web of Science database. We found 138 papers, authored by researchers from 64 countries, with a particular emphasis on European and American countries. The publications were mainly concentrated in research areas such as Environmental Sciences and Ecology, Agriculture and Science and Technology, and there was a significant increase in publications over the twenty-year period. Brazil stands out as a leader in publications (n = 25) among the 10 countries with the highest number of articles. The studies conducted by Brazilian researchers focused mostly on the “governance and institutions” dimension. The main topics identified in the articles were “strategies,” “climate change,” “agroecology,” “food security,” and COVID-19. Factors contributing to the resilience of family farming included mainly diversification of agricultural activities, property management, farmers’ traditional knowledge, and agricultural public policies. The increasing number of publications indicates a shift in the approach to family farming, prompted by the need to tackle challenges such as economic shocks and climate change.

Oral health articles in primary care journals: A bibliometric review.

Primary care lacks emphasis on oral health (OH) despite its major effects on one's overall health. This mixed-methods bibliometric study was conducted to assess the content of OH in primary care journals. Sixty-seven of the most influential journals were identified from primary care specialties and disciplines using Scopus CiteScore metrics and expert opinion. For each specialty, one journal was chosen as the "core journal." A search string was then developed to extract OH related articles found within a ten-year time frame (2012-2021) which were subsequently analyzed for OH content, trends, and article type. Of the 1784 articles extracted, 1068 met inclusion criteria. When compared with the total number of articles published by journals in any category, OH articles comprised less than 1% of total articles published between 2012 and 2021. Family medicine showed a borderline significant increase in OH articles over this time period while pediatrics showed a significant decline. Among the core journals, there was a statistically significant decline in OH articles published in geriatrics and pediatrics. Case reports and review articles were the most common type of OH article published. General oral lesions and population-specific OH delivery were the most common topics published. This review highlights the relatively low prevalence of OH articles in primary care journals and defines the most prevalent types of OH articles. Further studies are needed to understand the reasons for the lack of OH articles in primary care journals and the implications for primary care providers and learners.
