Highly cited papers are expected to have high-quality data that significantly contribute to the body of knowledge. The study aimed to evaluate the characters of the 100 most-cited articles on corneal cross-linking (CXL) through a bibliometric analysis.
The Web of Science database was searched to identify papers published from 1950 to 2020. A bibliometric analysis of the top 100-cited articles was conducted in the current study. The citation differences between basic research, clinical research, and reviews were compared by Kruskal-Wallis test. The association between citations and publication year was evaluated by Spearman correlation analysis. The VOSviewer software was used to create networks of co-authorship and keywords map.
The median values of the number of citations, citations/year since publication, and citations since 2013 were 101, 9.5, and 11.92, respectively. A total of 61% of articles were clinical research. The citations since 2013 of clinical research were lower than basic research and the reviews (all < 0.001). The publication year was positively correlated with the number of publications ( = 0.665, = 0.013), and the total number of citations decreased for basic research ( = -0.447, = 0.017), and clinical research ( = -0.433, < 0.001). The publishes the highest number of articles. The corresponding authors were predominantly from the Italy ( = 17), Germany ( = 16), and United States ( = 15). Spoerl Eberhard has the highest number of citations and total link strength with 15 articles. Extensive collaboration existed among the main core nodes containing "cross-linking ( = 45)," "riboflavin ( = 44)," and "ultraviolet A (UVA) ( = 42)."
The present study focused on the comprehensive analysis of the top 100-cited articles on the CXL research, providing insight into research developments over the past decades.
高被引论文预计具有高质量的数据，能对知识体系做出重大贡献。本研究旨在通过文献计量分析评估角膜交联（CXL）领域被引次数最多的100篇文章的特征。
检索科学网数据库以识别1950年至2020年发表的论文。本研究对被引次数排名前100的文章进行了文献计量分析。采用Kruskal-Wallis检验比较基础研究、临床研究和综述之间的被引差异。通过Spearman相关分析评估被引次数与发表年份之间的关联。使用VOSviewer软件创建共同作者网络和关键词图谱。
被引次数、自发表以来每年的被引次数以及自2013年以来的被引次数的中位数分别为101、9.5和11.92。共有61%的文章为临床研究。2013年以来临床研究的被引次数低于基础研究和综述（均P<0.001）。发表年份与发表数量呈正相关（r = 0.665，P = 0.013），基础研究（r = -0.447，P = 0.017）和临床研究（r = -0.433，P<0.001）的总被引次数减少。《[期刊名称未给出]》发表的文章数量最多。通讯作者主要来自意大利（n = 17）、德国（n = 16）和美国（n = 15）。Spoerl Eberhard的被引次数和总链接强度最高，有15篇文章。在包含“交联（n = 45）”、“核黄素（n = 44）”和“紫外线A（UVA）（n = 42）”的主要核心节点之间存在广泛合作。
本研究聚焦于对角膜交联研究中被引次数最多的100篇文章进行综合分析，深入了解了过去几十年的研究进展。
