Stroke is a heavy burden in modern society, and carotid artery disease is a major cause. The role of the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the development and progression of carotid artery disease has become a popular research focus. However, there is no published bibliometric analysis to derive the main publication features and trends in this scientific area. We aim to conduct a bibliometric analysis to reveal current status of ECM in carotid artery disease and to predict future hot spots.
We searched and downloaded articles from the Web of Science Core Collection with "Carotid" and "Extracellular Matrix" as subject words from 1990 to 2021. The complete bibliographic data were analyzed by Bibliometrics, BICOMB, gCLUTO and CiteSpace softwares.
Since 1990, the United States has been the leader in the number of publications in the field of ECM in carotid artery disease, followed by China, Japan and Germany. Among institutions, Institut National De La Sante Et De La Recherche Medicale Inserm, University of Washington Seattle and Harvard University are in the top 3. "Arteriosclerosis Thrombosis and Vascular Biology" is the most popular journal and "Circulation" is the most cited journal. "Clowes AW", "Hedin Ulf" and "Nilsson Jan" are the top three authors of published articles. Finally, we investigated the frontiers through the strongest citation bursts, conducted keyword biclustering analysis, and discovered five clusters of research hotspots. Our research provided a comprehensive analysis of the fundamental data, knowledge organization, and dynamic evolution of research about ECM in carotid artery disease.
The field of ECM in carotid artery disease has received increasing attention. We summarized the history of the field and predicted five future hotspots through bibliometric analysis. This study provided a reference for researchers in this fields, and the methodology can be extended to other fields.
中风是现代社会的沉重负担，颈动脉疾病是主要原因。细胞外基质（ECM）在颈动脉疾病的发展和进展中的作用已成为热门研究焦点。然而，目前尚无发表的文献计量分析来得出该科学领域的主要出版特点和趋势。我们旨在进行文献计量分析，以揭示 ECM 在颈动脉疾病中的现状，并预测未来的热点。
我们使用“颈动脉”和“细胞外基质”作为主题词，从 1990 年到 2021 年，从 Web of Science 核心合集搜索并下载了文章。使用 Bibliometrics、BICOMB、gCLUTO 和 CiteSpace 软件对完整的书目数据进行了分析。
自 1990 年以来，美国在 ECM 颈动脉疾病领域的出版物数量方面处于领先地位，其次是中国、日本和德国。在机构方面，法国国家健康与医学研究院 Inserm、华盛顿大学西雅图分校和哈佛大学位列前三。“动脉硬化血栓形成和血管生物学”是最受欢迎的期刊，“循环”是被引频次最高的期刊。发表文章的前三名作者是“Clowes AW”、“Hedin Ulf”和“Nilsson Jan”。最后，我们通过最强的引文突发调查了前沿，进行了关键词双聚类分析，并发现了五个研究热点群。我们的研究对 ECM 颈动脉疾病的基础数据、知识组织和动态演化进行了全面分析。
颈动脉疾病中 ECM 领域受到越来越多的关注。我们通过文献计量分析总结了该领域的历史，并预测了未来的五个热点。这项研究为该领域的研究人员提供了参考，该方法可扩展到其他领域。
