Over the last few decades, gut microbiota research has been the focus of intense research and this field has become particularly important. This research aimed to provide a quantitative evaluation of the 100 most-cited articles on gut microbiota and IBS and highlight the most important advances in this field.
The database Web of Science Core Collection was used to download the bibliometric information the top 100 most-cited papers. Microsoft Excel 2021, CiteSpace, VOSviewer, R software, and an online analytical platform ( https://bibliometric.com/ ) were was applied to perform bibliometric analysis of these papers.
The total citation frequency in the top 100 article ranged from 274 to 2324, with an average citation of 556.57. A total of 24 countries/regions made contributions to the top 100 cited papers, and USA, Ireland, and China were the most top three productive countries. Cryan JF was the most frequently nominated author, and of the top 100 articles, 20 listed his name. Top-cited papers mainly came from the Gastroenterology (n = 13, citations = 6373) and Gut (n = 9, citations = 3903). There was a significant citation path, indicating publications in molecular/biology/immunology primarily cited journals in molecular/biology/genetics fields. Keywords analysis suggested that the main topics on gut microbiota and IBS were mechanisms of microbiome in brain-gut axis." Behavior" was the keyword with the strongest burst strength (2.36), followed by "anxiety like behavior" (2.24), "intestinal microbiota" (2.19), and "chain fatty acid" (1.99), and "maternal separation" (1.95).
This study identified and provided the bibliometric information of the top 100 cited publications related to gut microbiota and IBS. The results provided a general overview of this topic and might help researchers to better understand the evolution, Influential findings and hotspots in researching gut microbiota and IBS, thus providing new perspectives and novel research ideas in this specific area.
在过去的几十年里，肠道微生物组的研究一直是研究的焦点，这个领域变得尤为重要。本研究旨在对肠道微生物组和 IBS 的 100 篇最具引用价值的文章进行定量评估，并强调该领域的重要进展。
使用数据库 Web of Science 核心合集下载前 100 篇高引用论文的计量信息。使用 Microsoft Excel 2021、CiteSpace、VOSviewer、R 软件和在线分析平台（https://bibliometric.com/）对这些论文进行计量分析。
前 100 篇文章的总被引频次范围为 274 至 2324，平均被引频次为 556.57。共有 24 个国家/地区对前 100 篇高引论文做出了贡献，美国、爱尔兰和中国是最具生产力的前三个国家。Cryan JF 是被提名最多的作者，在 100 篇文章中，有 20 篇提到了他的名字。高被引论文主要来自胃肠病学（n=13，引用次数=6373）和 Gut（n=9，引用次数=3903）。存在显著的引文路径，表明分子/生物学/免疫学的出版物主要引用分子/生物学/遗传学领域的期刊。关键词分析表明，肠道微生物组和 IBS 的主要主题是微生物组在脑-肠轴中的作用机制。“行为”是具有最强爆发强度的关键词（2.36），其次是“类似焦虑的行为”（2.24）、“肠道微生物群”（2.19）、“链脂肪酸”（1.99）和“母婴分离”（1.95）。
本研究确定并提供了与肠道微生物组和 IBS 相关的 100 篇最具引用价值的出版物的文献计量信息。结果提供了对该主题的总体概述，可能有助于研究人员更好地了解肠道微生物组和 IBS 的演变、有影响力的发现和热点，从而为该特定领域提供新的视角和新的研究思路。
