Bibliometric studies provide a quantitative statistical analysis of the published literature within a field of interest and allow for easy identification of the major contributing authors, funding sources, and publication trends within the field. To date, no bibliometric studies have been performed pertaining to Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC).
To identify the 100 most frequently cited articles in MCC through a bibliometric analysis of the literature.
Web of science was queried to determine the 100 most frequently cited MCC publications published between the years 1970 and 2019. Articles were listed by title, authors and their affiliated institutions, journal title and type, year of publication, country of origin, funding sources, and citation frequency.
Among the 100 most frequently cited MCC publications, articles were cited between 67 and 589 times with a mean of 136.3 times. Articles were cited between 2.0 and 98.2 times per year since publication with a mean of 11.3 times per year. 67% of the articles were published in oncology journals; 33% and 10% of the articles in dermatology and surgery journals, respectively. The most represented journal was Cancer (12%). Paul Nghiem was the most frequently identified author (18%). 36% of the top 100 articles were published out of the University of Washington. The most frequent funding agency was the National Institutes of Health (77%).
Through this bibliometric analysis, researchers can easily identify key publications pertaining to MCC, which may in turn enhance their approach to understanding and practicing evidence-based medicine regarding MCC.
文献计量学研究对某一领域内的已发表文献进行定量统计分析,便于识别该领域内的主要贡献作者、资助来源和出版趋势。迄今为止,尚未有关于默克尔细胞癌(MCC)的文献计量学研究。
通过对 MCC 文献进行文献计量学分析,确定 100 篇最常被引的文章。
通过 Web of Science 检索,确定了 1970 年至 2019 年间发表的 MCC 文献中被引用次数最多的 100 篇文章。文章按标题、作者及其所属机构、期刊名称和类型、出版年份、来源国、资助来源和引用频率进行列表。
在 100 篇最常被引的 MCC 文献中,文章的引用次数在 67 到 589 次之间,平均引用次数为 136.3 次。自出版以来,文章每年的引用次数在 2.0 到 98.2 次之间,平均每年引用 11.3 次。67%的文章发表在肿瘤学杂志上;33%和 10%的文章分别发表在皮肤科和外科杂志上。被引用最多的期刊是《Cancer》(12%)。Paul Nghiem 是被引用最多的作者(18%)。100 篇顶级文章中有 36%出自华盛顿大学。最常见的资助机构是美国国立卫生研究院(77%)。
通过这项文献计量学分析,研究人员可以轻松识别与 MCC 相关的关键文献,从而有助于他们更深入地理解和实践 MCC 的循证医学。
