Recent interest in multiple sclerosis research warrants literature analysis to evaluate the current state of the discipline and new research domains. This bibliometric review summarised the research trends and analysed research areas in multiple sclerosis over the last decade. The documents containing the term 'multiple sclerosis' in the article title were retrieved from the Scopus database. We used Harzing's Publish or Perish and VOSviewer for citation analysis and data visualisation, respectively. We found a total of 18,003 articles published in journals in the English language between 2012 and 2021. The emerging keywords identified utilising the enhanced strategic diagram were 'covid-19', 'teriflunomide', 'clinical trial', 'microglia', 'b cells', 'myelin', 'brain', 'white matter', 'functional connectivity', 'pain', 'employment', 'health-related quality of life', 'meta-analysis' and 'comorbidity'. This study demonstrates the tremendous growth of multiple sclerosis literature worldwide, which is expected to grow more than double during the next decade especially in the identified emerging topics.
近年来，多发性硬化症的研究引起了人们的兴趣，有必要对文献进行分析，以评估该学科的现状和新的研究领域。本计量学研究综述总结了过去十年多发性硬化症的研究趋势和研究领域。从 Scopus 数据库中检索到文章标题中包含“多发性硬化症”一词的文献。我们分别使用 Harzing 的 Publish or Perish 和 Vosviewer 进行引文分析和数据可视化。我们发现，2012 年至 2021 年期间，以英文在期刊上发表的文章共有 18003 篇。利用增强型战略图确定的新兴关键词为“covid-19”、“teriflunomide”、“临床试验”、“小胶质细胞”、“B 细胞”、“髓鞘”、“大脑”、“白质”、“功能连接”、“疼痛”、“就业”、“健康相关生活质量”、“荟萃分析”和“合并症”。这项研究表明，全球多发性硬化症文献的数量呈指数级增长，预计在未来十年内将增长一倍以上，特别是在确定的新兴主题方面。
