The main purpose of this bibliometric analysis is to conduct a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the publications on dental caries. Research productivity can be measured with the use of bibliometric analysis. In this study, we conducted a bibliometric analysis using the Scopus database to identify dental caries research trends and patterns over the years. The search yielded 1630 scientific articles. The data was analysed using bibliometric indicators such as the h-index, the total number of citations and the number of publications. An analysis of the data highlighted that the United States of America (USA) and Brazil have the highest number of single-country publications. Top authors were listed based on the h-index and the total number of citations. Top cited countries, institutions etc. were also analysed using this bibliometric study. This bibliometric evaluation provides a wide area of literature carried out to date. The existing knowledge can be used to direct future research.
这项文献计量分析的主要目的是对龋齿相关出版物进行定量和定性分析。研究生产力可以通过文献计量分析来衡量。在本研究中,我们使用Scopus数据库进行文献计量分析,以确定多年来龋齿的研究趋势和模式。搜索结果共得到1630篇科学文章。使用诸如h指数、总被引次数和出版物数量等文献计量指标对数据进行了分析。数据分析突出显示,美国和巴西的单国出版物数量最多。根据h指数和总被引次数列出了顶尖作者。还使用这项文献计量研究分析了被引次数最多的国家、机构等。这项文献计量评估提供了迄今为止开展的广泛文献领域。现有知识可用于指导未来的研究。
