Bibliometric analysis is an approach to evaluate the circumstances and trends in specific research field over time and to provide inspiration in future research and policy. Researches have a tremendous increase focus on the role of the microbiota in the development of diabetes in recent years; however, there is no published literature conducting a bibliometric analysis to explore the tendency. The aim of this study was to provide a detailed evaluation of the hundred most cited articles in microbiota of diabetes research.
The database of the Web of Science was utilized for identification of articles. The top 100 were selected for further analysis of authorship, number of citations, article type, source journal, geographic origin, and interactions.
The articles selected were published from 2007 to 2015. The total citations ranged from 1289 to 35, citation density ranged from 163.75 to 6.5. The article type included basic science (n = 32), review (n = 29), expert opinion (n = 19), cross-sectional study (n = 12), RCT (n = 3), and others (n = 5). The study content included pathogenesis (n = 58), risk factor (n = 11), modifying of intestinal microbiota (n = 10), prebiotic treatment (n = 8), antibiotic treatment (n = 4), diet control (n = 4), and others (n = 5). The 100 most cited articles were published in 59 journals. Among them, Diabetes (n = 7), Diabetologia (n = 7), and Plos one (n = 7) published the most T100 articles. In total, 24 countries and 174 scientific research institutions participated in those researches. USA (n = 32) and Belgium (n = 22) were the leading countries in this field, followed by France (n = 18) and Finland (n = 16). Patrice D. Cani contributed the most top cited articles (n = 15).
This bibliometric study is likely to include a list of intellectual milestones focused on microbiota of diabetes research in the past decade, which provides insights into the circumstances and trends in preventing and treating diabetes from a new perspective.
文献计量分析是一种评估特定研究领域随时间变化的情况和趋势，并为未来研究和政策提供启示的方法。近年来，关于微生物群在糖尿病发生发展中的作用的研究关注度大幅增加；然而，尚无已发表的文献进行文献计量分析以探究其趋势。本研究旨在对糖尿病研究中微生物群领域被引用次数最多的100篇文章进行详细评估。
利用科学网数据库识别文章。选取排名前100的文章进一步分析作者、引用次数、文章类型、来源期刊、地理来源和合作情况。
所选文章发表于2007年至2015年。总引用次数从1289次到35次不等，引用密度从163.75到6.5不等。文章类型包括基础科学（n = 32）、综述（n = 29）、专家意见（n = 19）、横断面研究（n = 12）、随机对照试验（n = 3）及其他（n = 5）。研究内容包括发病机制（n = 58）、危险因素（n = 11）、肠道微生物群的调节（n = 10）、益生元治疗（n = 8）、抗生素治疗（n = 4）、饮食控制（n = 4）及其他（n = 5）。被引用次数最多的100篇文章发表在59种期刊上。其中，《糖尿病》（n = 7）、《糖尿病学》（n = 7）和《公共科学图书馆·综合》（n = 7）发表的T100文章最多。共有24个国家和174个科研机构参与了这些研究。美国（n = 32）和比利时（n = 22）是该领域的领先国家，其次是法国（n = 18）和芬兰（n = 16）。帕特里斯·D·卡尼贡献的被引用次数最多的文章数量最多（n = 15）。
这项文献计量研究可能包含了过去十年中糖尿病研究微生物群领域的一系列知识里程碑，从新的角度为糖尿病防治的情况和趋势提供了见解。
