Bibliometric analyses are widely used to gauge the scholarly impact of any scientific publication. We conducted a bibliometric analysis of the 100 most influential articles on glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). We searched Scopus using the keywords "Glioblastoma multiforme," "GBM," Glioblastoma," and "Grade IV glioma." A list of the top 100 articles was prepared. The articles were sorted according to the number of citations. A detailed analysis was carried out to identify the characteristics of the most influential studies. The 100 most cited articles in the field were published over 38 years between 1978 and 2018, with the maximum number of articles published in the 10-year period from 2001 to 2010. The total number of citations for 100 articles was 148,594 and 4.8% were self-citations. Citations ranged from 9624 to 617, with a median of 935 (interquartile range, 906). The top cited articles originated from 22 countries, with the greatest contributions from the United States. Nature made the greatest contribution to the research on GBM, with a total of 14 articles, and Cancer Cell and New England Journal of Medicine were the second biggest contributors. Fifty-seven studies focused on the pathogenesis of GBM. There were 12 authors who had ≥5 articles in the top 100 citation list. Only 31% of the articles were funded by public and private sector organizations. Our analysis highlights the characteristics of the most influential articles on GBM and provides valuable insight into the research that has been conducted in this field.
文献计量分析被广泛用于衡量任何科学出版物的学术影响力。我们对关于多形性胶质母细胞瘤（GBM）的100篇最具影响力的文章进行了文献计量分析。我们在Scopus数据库中使用关键词“多形性胶质母细胞瘤”“GBM”“胶质母细胞瘤”和“四级胶质瘤”进行检索。编制了一份前100篇文章的列表。这些文章根据被引次数进行排序。进行了详细分析以确定最具影响力研究的特征。该领域被引用次数最多的100篇文章发表于1978年至2018年的38年间，其中发表文章数量最多的是2001年至2010年这十年。100篇文章的总被引次数为148594次，其中4.8%为自引。被引次数从9624次到617次不等，中位数为935次（四分位间距为906次）。被引用次数最多的文章来自22个国家，美国的贡献最大。《自然》杂志对GBM研究的贡献最大，共有14篇文章，《癌细胞》和《新英格兰医学杂志》是第二大贡献者。57项研究聚焦于GBM的发病机制。有12位作者在被引次数排名前100的列表中有≥5篇文章。只有31%的文章由公共和私营部门组织资助。我们的分析突出了关于GBM的最具影响力文章的特征，并为该领域已开展的研究提供了有价值的见解。
