The oral leukoplakia and erythroplakia is one of the most common epithelial precursor lesions of the oral squamous cell carcinoma. Transformation rates are approximately 0.9-17% in 10 years for leukoplakia and in 14-50% for the erythroplakia. Despite the clinical relevance of these lesions, currently exists no detailed bibliometric analysis.
The present study combines classical bibliometric tools with novel scientometric and visualizing techniques in order to analyse and categorize research in the field of leukoplakia and erythroplakia.
All studies related to leukoplakia and erythroplakia and listed in the ISI database since 1900 were identified by the use of defined search terms. The bibliometric analysis of the collected data shows a continuous increase in quantitative marker such as the number of publications and cooperation and qualitative markers, such as citations and H-index. The combination with density equalizing mapping revealed a distinct global structure of research and citing activity. Radar chart techniques were used to illustrate bi- and multilateral cooperations and institution research collaborations.
The present study demonstrates the first scientometric approach that visualizes research activities in the area of leukoplakia and erythroplakia. It provides data that can be used for geografical context and research networks.
口腔白斑和红斑是口腔鳞状细胞癌最常见的上皮前驱病变之一。白斑的10年转化率约为0.9 - 17%，红斑为14 - 50%。尽管这些病变具有临床相关性，但目前尚无详细的文献计量分析。
本研究将经典的文献计量工具与新颖的科学计量和可视化技术相结合，以分析和分类白斑和红斑领域的研究。
通过使用定义的检索词，识别出1900年以来ISI数据库中所有与白斑和红斑相关的研究。对收集数据的文献计量分析显示，诸如出版物数量、合作数量等定量指标以及诸如被引频次和H指数等定性指标持续增长。与密度均衡映射相结合揭示了研究和引用活动的独特全球结构。雷达图技术用于说明双边和多边合作以及机构研究合作。
本研究展示了第一种可视化白斑和红斑领域研究活动的科学计量方法。它提供了可用于地理背景和研究网络的数据。
