Determine the bibliometric characteristics of scientific articles that address the subject of neurosurgery in Latin America and the Caribbean.
A bibliographic search of original articles published in the Web of Science database up to 2021 was performed, without language restrictions. The terms included in the search strategy were Neurosurgery, neurosurgical procedures, and neurological surgical procedure. Articles according to the inclusion criteria in the Rayyan application were included. Subsequently, a quantitative bibliometric analysis was carried out with the bibliometrix package in R and VOSviewer.
We identified 882 articles published in 271 journals. The first publication was in 2006, the highest number of publications was in 2021, the annual percentage growth rate was 25.9, and the average number of citations per document was 11.2. The author with the highest number of publications was Teixeira MJ (41 articles), and the University of Sao Paulo had the highest number of articles on this topic. WORLD NEUROSURGERY was the journal with the most publications (120 articles), and the study by Carney et al (2017) was the most cited (1175 citations). The country of corresponding authors with the most publications and the greatest number of total citations was Brazil. Surgery, and Management were the most used keywords plus; however, in the most recent articles Simulation and Guidelines were used.
In the past decade, there has been an increase in articles on neurosurgery in Latin America and the Caribbean. Scientific production in neurosurgery must continue to increase in order to promote evidence-based medicine.
确定涉及拉丁美洲和加勒比地区神经外科学科的科学文章的文献计量学特征。
在 Web of Science 数据库中进行了原始文章的书目检索，截至 2021 年，无语言限制。搜索策略中包含的术语包括神经外科、神经外科手术和神经外科手术。根据 Rayyan 应用程序的纳入标准纳入文章。随后，使用 R 中的 bibliometrix 包和 Vosviewer 进行了定量文献计量学分析。
我们确定了 882 篇发表在 271 种期刊上的文章。第一篇出版物是在 2006 年，发表数量最多的是在 2021 年，年增长率为 25.9%，每篇文献的平均引用次数为 11.2。发表文章最多的作者是 Teixeira MJ（41 篇），发表该主题文章最多的是圣保罗大学。WORLD NEUROSURGERY 是发表文章最多的期刊（120 篇），Carney 等人的研究（2017 年）被引用次数最多（1175 次）。通讯作者发表文章和总引用次数最多的国家是巴西。手术和管理是使用最多的关键词，但在最近的文章中使用了模拟和指南。
在过去十年中，拉丁美洲和加勒比地区神经外科学科的文章数量有所增加。为了促进循证医学，神经外科学的科学研究必须继续增加。
