Human skin microbiome is the first barrier against exogenous attack and is associated with various skin disease pathogenesis and progression. Advancements in high-throughput sequencing technologies have paved the way for a deeper understanding of this field. Based on the bibliometric analysis, this investigation aimed to identify the hotspots and future research trends associated with human skin microbiomes studied over the past decade.
The published research on skin microbiome from January 2013 to January 2023 was retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection. Data cleaning processes to ensure robust data and the bibliometrix packages R, CiteSpace, VOSviewer, Origin, and Scimago Graphica for bibliometric and visual analyses were utilized.
A total of 1629 published documents were analyzed. The overall publication trend steadily increased, with relatively fast growth in 2017 and 2020. The United States of America has the highest number of publications and citations and shows close collaborations with China and Germany. The University of California, San Diego, indicated a higher number of publications than other institutions and the fastest growth rate. The top three most publishing journals on this topic are Microorganisms, Frontiers in Microbiology, and Experimental dermatology. Gallo RL is the most influential author with the highest h- and g-index and most publications in skin microecology, followed by Grice EA and Kong HH. The top 10 most frequently used keywords in recent years included skin microbiome, microbiome, staphylococcus aureus, diversity, atopic dermatitis, skin, bacteria, infections, gut microbiota, and disease.
The skin microbiome is an area of research that requires continuous analysis, and even with much-achieved progress, future research will further be aided as technology develops.
人类皮肤微生物群是抵御外源攻击的第一道防线，与多种皮肤病的发病机制和进展相关。高通量测序技术的进步为深入了解该领域铺平了道路。基于文献计量分析，本研究旨在确定过去十年中与人类皮肤微生物群相关的研究热点和未来研究趋势。
从科学网核心合集检索2013年1月至2023年1月发表的关于皮肤微生物群的研究。采用数据清理流程以确保数据的可靠性，并利用R语言的bibliometrix包、CiteSpace、VOSviewer、Origin和Scimago Graphica进行文献计量和可视化分析。
共分析了1629篇已发表文献。总体发表趋势稳步上升，2017年和2020年增长相对较快。美国的出版物和被引次数最多，与中国和德国有密切合作。加利福尼亚大学圣地亚哥分校的出版物数量高于其他机构，且增长速度最快。关于该主题发表最多的前三本期刊是《微生物》《微生物学前沿》和《实验皮肤病学》。加洛·R·L是最具影响力的作者，其h指数和g指数最高，在皮肤微生态领域的出版物最多，其次是格赖斯·E·A和孔·H·H。近年来最常用的前10个关键词包括皮肤微生物群、微生物群、金黄色葡萄球菌、多样性、特应性皮炎、皮肤、细菌、感染、肠道微生物群和疾病。
皮肤微生物群是一个需要持续分析的研究领域，即使已经取得了很大进展，随着技术的发展，未来的研究将得到进一步助力。
