Sterotactic radiosurgery is becoming an integral modality in the management of intracranial meningiomas, both as the primary treatment or as adjuvant therapy. This study analyzes the scholarly impact of the top 100 cited articles on the stereotactic radiosurgical management of intracranial meningiomas.
A ranked list of the 100 most-cited articles was generated using the Scopus database by searching the keywords 'intracranial meningioma' and 'stereotactic radiosurgery'. All articles were then evaluated on multiple criteria regarding both the publication of the articles (year of publication, journal, country of origin, and authors) as well as their methods and foci (type of study, location of studied meningiomas, and type of radiosurgical modality). Quantitaitve and qualitative analyses were then performed from the collected data.
The most frequently cited articles on stereotactic radiosurgical management of intracranial meningiomas were published between 1990 and 2016. The average citation-per-year across all papers in the list was 6.1. The most studied anatomic area of intracranial meningiomas was the skull base, with the cavernous sinus being the most well-studied specific site. The most utilized stereotactic radiosurgical modality was Gamma Knife radiosurgery. The country with the highest number of publications was the United States. Twenty-six percent of the articles were published in the journal Neurosurgery; Lunsford, Kondziolka, Flickinger, Sheehan, and Pollock were respectively the most frequent listed authors among this list. The most active academic institute publishing on this topic was the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
Stereotactic radiosurgery is an integral modality in the management of intracranial meningiomas. This bibliometric analysis sheds the light on the ways in which intracranial meningiomas have been studied in the past two decades in order to identify trends among neurosurgeons and radiation oncologists and to reveal areas of rising and declining focus.
立体定向放射外科正成为颅内脑膜瘤治疗中不可或缺的一种方式，既作为主要治疗手段，也作为辅助治疗。本研究分析了关于颅内脑膜瘤立体定向放射外科治疗的被引频次最高的100篇文章的学术影响力。
通过在Scopus数据库中搜索关键词“颅内脑膜瘤”和“立体定向放射外科”，生成了100篇被引频次最高的文章的排名列表。然后，根据文章的发表情况（发表年份、期刊、原产国和作者）以及它们的方法和重点（研究类型、所研究脑膜瘤的位置和放射外科方式类型）等多个标准对所有文章进行评估。随后对收集到的数据进行定量和定性分析。
关于颅内脑膜瘤立体定向放射外科治疗的被引频次最高的文章发表于1990年至2016年之间。列表中所有论文的年均被引频次为6.1次。颅内脑膜瘤研究最多的解剖区域是颅底，海绵窦是研究最多的具体部位。使用最多的立体定向放射外科方式是伽玛刀放射外科。发表文章数量最多的国家是美国。26%的文章发表在《神经外科》杂志上；伦斯福德（Lunsford）、孔齐奥尔卡（Kondziolka）、弗利金格（Flickinger）、希恩（Sheehan）和波洛克（Pollock）分别是该列表中最常被提及的作者。发表关于该主题文章最活跃的学术机构是匹兹堡大学医学中心。
立体定向放射外科是颅内脑膜瘤治疗中不可或缺的一种方式。这项文献计量分析揭示了过去二十年中颅内脑膜瘤的研究方式，以便确定神经外科医生和放射肿瘤学家的研究趋势，并揭示关注度上升和下降的领域。
