This study aimed to analyze the top 100 most cited papers and research trends on endometrial carcinoma bibliometric methods.
On the 1 of March 2022, the top 100 most cited papers regarding endometrial carcinoma published from 1971 to 2021 were identified through searching Web of Science Core Collection database and the following data: title, author, journal, publication year, country and institution were extracted. Microsoft Office Excel (2019) was used for descriptive statistical analysis. VOSviewer (1.6.18) was used to perform and visualize co-authorship analysis and co-occurrence analysis.
These 100 papers were cited a total of 45, 685 times, and the mean number of citations was 456.85 (range, 228 to 2487). Most papers were published between 1996 and 2000, and between 2006 and 2010. published the largest number of papers (n=12), followed by (n=11). Most of the papers were from the United States (n=58), followed by Italy (n=8) and Netherlands (n=7). Duke University, Johns Hopkins University, University of California San Francisco and University of Southern California (all in United States) contributed the most papers (n=4, respectively). Nicoletta Colombo contributed the most papers (n=3) as the corresponding author. The co-occurrence keywords were classified into three clusters: cluster 1 (epidemiology study), cluster 2 (molecular biology study) and cluster 3 (clinical treatment study). Early research that was published prior to 2005 in this field was mainly focused on epidemiology and molecular biology; the mean publication year for keywords in cluster 3 was later than other clusters. The keywords "external-beam radiotherapy," "uterine serous carcinoma," and "intermediate-risk" showed relatively later mean publication year and lower mean frequency of occurrence.
This study provides medical researchers with bibliometric information relating to endometrial carcinoma. Our results show that the United States is a clear leader in this field. The clinical treatment of endometrial carcinoma has received increasing levels of attention over recent years and is likely to remain a major area of research in the future. Meanwhile, it is recommended to pay attention to potential research hotspots, such as external-beam radiotherapy, uterine serous carcinoma and intermediate-risk.
本研究旨在通过文献计量学方法分析子宫内膜癌被引用次数最多的前100篇论文及研究趋势。
2022年3月1日，通过检索Web of Science核心合集数据库，确定了1971年至2021年发表的关于子宫内膜癌的被引用次数最多的前100篇论文，并提取了以下数据：标题、作者、期刊、发表年份、国家和机构。使用Microsoft Office Excel（2019）进行描述性统计分析。使用VOSviewer（1.6.18）进行并可视化合著分析和共现分析。
这100篇论文共被引用45685次，平均被引用次数为456.85次（范围为228至2487次）。大多数论文发表于1996年至2000年以及2006年至2010年之间。发表论文数量最多的是[具体国家1]（n = 12），其次是[具体国家2]（n = 11）。大多数论文来自美国（n = 58），其次是意大利（n = 8）和荷兰（n = 7）。杜克大学、约翰霍普金斯大学、加利福尼亚大学旧金山分校和南加利福尼亚大学（均在美国）贡献的论文最多（均为n = 4）。尼科letta·科伦坡作为通讯作者贡献的论文最多（n = 3）。共现关键词被分为三个聚类：聚类1（流行病学研究）、聚类2（分子生物学研究）和聚类3（临床治疗研究）。该领域2005年之前发表的早期研究主要集中在流行病学和分子生物学；聚类3中关键词的平均发表年份晚于其他聚类。关键词“外照射放疗”“子宫浆液性癌”和“中危”的平均发表年份相对较晚且平均出现频率较低。
本研究为医学研究人员提供了与子宫内膜癌相关的文献计量学信息。我们的结果表明，美国在该领域处于明显领先地位。近年来，子宫内膜癌的临床治疗受到越来越多的关注，并且未来可能仍将是一个主要的研究领域。同时，建议关注潜在的研究热点，如外照射放疗、子宫浆液性癌和中危。
