Tuberculosis belongs to the lung infectious diseases with the highest impact on global burden of disease. Yet there is no concise scientometric study about tuberculosis research. Therefore, the NewQiS project elected this subject as focus of an in depth analysis to perform density equalizing mapping in combination with scientometrics.
In this retrospective study all publications related to tuberculosis research listed in the Web of Science database between 1900 and 2012 were identified, analyzed and submitted to density equalizing mapping procedures.
In total 58,319 entries on TBC were identified with the USA being the most productive country with 11,788 publications, followed by the United Kingdom (4202), India (3456), France (2541), South Africa (1840), Germany (1747) and China (1427). Concerning the citations rate Denmark leads with 43.7 citations per article, followed by Latvia (39.1), Gambia (38.3), Senegal (34.9), and the Netherlands (31.4). Chart techniques demonstrates a widely ramified international network with a focus the joint work of USA, the UK and South Africa.
This is the first density equalizing and scientometric study that addresses tuberculosis research over a period of 112 years. It illustrates global tuberculosis research architecture and stresses the need for strengthening global research efforts and funding program.
结核病是对全球疾病负担影响最大的肺部传染病。然而，目前尚无关于结核病研究的简明科学计量学研究。因此，新启思项目选择该主题作为深入分析的重点，结合科学计量学进行密度均衡映射。
在这项回顾性研究中，我们识别、分析了1900年至2012年间科学引文索引数据库中列出的所有与结核病研究相关的出版物，并将其提交至密度均衡映射程序。
共识别出58319条关于结核病的记录，美国是产出最多的国家，有11788篇出版物，其次是英国（4202篇）、印度（3456篇）、法国（2541篇）、南非（1840篇）、德国（1747篇）和中国（1427篇）。在被引率方面，丹麦领先，每篇文章被引43.7次，其次是拉脱维亚（39.1次）、冈比亚（38.3次）、塞内加尔（34.9次）和荷兰（31.4次）。图表技术展示了一个广泛分支的国际网络，重点是美国、英国和南非的合作。
这是第一项对112年间结核病研究进行密度均衡和科学计量学研究。它展示了全球结核病研究架构，并强调了加强全球研究努力和资助项目的必要性。
