This article reviews the development of research in the field of craniosynostosis from a bibliometric standpoint. Craniosynostosis is a malformation occurring during the early development of the skull, when one or more of the sutures close too early, causing problems with normal brain and skull growth. Research in this field has developed from early clinical case descriptions, to genetic discoveries responsible for the occurring malformations and onwards to developing sophisticated surgical treatment. In this article we describe these developments, zoom in on publication trends and characteristics and visualize developing networks and topic shifts in this research field.
本文从文献计量学的角度回顾了颅缝早闭领域的研究进展。颅缝早闭是颅骨早期发育过程中发生的一种畸形，当一条或多条骨缝过早闭合时，会导致正常大脑和颅骨生长出现问题。该领域的研究从早期的临床病例描述发展到了导致畸形发生的遗传发现，并进一步发展到了复杂的手术治疗。本文描述了这些发展，聚焦于出版物趋势和特征，并可视化了该研究领域的发展网络和主题转变。
