Bibliometric studies, which involve the use of statistical methods, are increasingly being used for research assessment. A bibliometric analysis was conducted to evaluate the publication pattern of methaemoglobinaemia research output at the global level based on the Scopus database. We analysed selected documents with "methemoglobinemia", or "methaemoglobinaemia" as a part of the title and reported the following parameters: trends of publication output, country of publication, journal pattern, collaborative measures, citations pattern, and institute productivity. A total of 1770 articles were published worldwide. The time trend for the number of articles showed an increase after 2000. The highest number of articles related to methaemoglobinaemia was from the USA (24.8 %), followed distantly by the UK (4.5 %), India (3.7 %), and France (3.7 %). No data related to methaemoglobinaemia were published from 152 countries. The total number of citations at the date of data collection was 10,080, with an average of 5.7 citations per document. The USA and UK had the highest h-index of 31 and 14, respectively, and six countries had an h-index of 9-14. It is notable that Canada was ranked eighth in the number of publications but fourth in h-index and India was ranked third in the number of publications but eighth in h-index. Furthermore, Canada produced the most internationally collaborated papers out of the total number of publications for each country (16.1 %), followed by the UK (13.9 %). This bibliometric analysis provides data contributing to a better understanding of the methaemoglobinaemia research field. The number of publications on methaemoglobinaemia increased significantly after 2000. The USA was the most productive country as measured by total publications. The USA and UK achieved the highest h-index in the field of methaemoglobinaemia research, signifying a higher quality of research than other countries.
文献计量学研究涉及统计方法的运用，正越来越多地用于研究评估。基于Scopus数据库进行了一项文献计量分析，以评估全球范围内高铁血红蛋白血症研究产出的发表模式。我们分析了标题中包含“高铁血红蛋白血症”或“methaemoglobinaemia”的选定文献，并报告了以下参数：发表产出趋势、发表国家、期刊模式、合作情况、被引模式和机构生产力。全球共发表了1770篇文章。文章数量的时间趋势显示，2000年后呈上升趋势。与高铁血红蛋白血症相关文章数量最多的是美国（24.8%），其次是英国（4.5%）、印度（3.7%）和法国（3.7%）。有152个国家未发表与高铁血红蛋白血症相关的数据。数据收集时的总被引次数为10080次，平均每篇文献被引5.7次。美国和英国的h指数最高，分别为31和14，有六个国家的h指数为9至14。值得注意的是，加拿大在发表数量上排名第八，但在h指数上排名第四；印度在发表数量上排名第三，但在h指数上排名第八。此外，在各国发表的文献总数中，加拿大的国际合作论文数量最多（16.1%），其次是英国（13.9%）。这项文献计量分析提供的数据有助于更好地了解高铁血红蛋白血症研究领域。2000年后，高铁血红蛋白血症的发表数量显著增加。以总发表量衡量，美国是最具生产力的国家。美国和英国在高铁血红蛋白血症研究领域的h指数最高，表明其研究质量高于其他国家。
