Although sodium channels have been a hot multidisciplinary focus for decades and most of nerve system drugs worked on alerting sodium channel function, the trends and future directions of sodium channel studies have not been comprehensive analyzed bibliometrically. Herein, we collected the scientific publications of sodium channels research and constructed a model to evaluate the current trend systematically. Publications were selected from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database from 2013 to 2017. Microsoft Excel 2016, Prism 6, and CiteSpace V software were used to analyze publication outputs, journal sources, countries, territories, institutions, authors, and research areas. A total of 4,275 publications on sodium channel research were identified. PLoS ONE ranked top for publishing 170 papers. The United States of America had the largest number of publications (1,595), citation frequency (19,490), and H-index (53). S. G. Waxman (62 publications) and W. A. Catterall (585 citations) were the most productive authors and had the greatest co-citation counts. This is the first report that shows the trends and future development in sodium channel publications, and our study provides a clear profile for the contribution to this field by countries, authors, keywords, and institutions.
虽然钠离子通道已经成为一个热门的多学科研究焦点,并且大多数神经系统药物都通过调节钠离子通道功能来发挥作用,但钠离子通道研究的趋势和未来方向尚未得到全面的文献计量学分析。在此,我们收集了钠离子通道研究的科学出版物,并构建了一个模型来系统地评估当前的趋势。出版物从 2013 年至 2017 年从 Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) 数据库中选取。使用 Microsoft Excel 2016、Prism 6 和 CiteSpace V 软件来分析出版物的输出、期刊来源、国家、地区、机构、作者和研究领域。共确定了 4275 篇关于钠离子通道研究的出版物。PLoS ONE 在发表 170 篇论文方面排名第一。美国拥有最多的出版物(1595 篇)、引用频率(19490 次)和 H-指数(53 次)。S.G. Waxman(62 篇出版物)和 W.A. Catterall(585 次引用)是最有成果的作者,并且具有最大的共被引次数。这是第一篇展示钠离子通道出版物趋势和未来发展的报告,我们的研究为各国、作者、关键词和机构对该领域的贡献提供了清晰的概况。
