Bibliometric analysis is a mature method for quantitative evaluation of academic productivity. In view of the rapid development of research in the field of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in the past decade, we used bibliometric methods to comprehensively analyze the literature in the field of SLE from 2013 to 2022.
The relevant literature in the field of SLE from 2013 to 2022 was screened in the Web of Science Core Collection database. After obtaining and sorting out the data, CiteSpace and VOSviewer software were used to visualize the relevant data, and SPSS software was used for scientific statistics.
A total of 18,450 publications were included in this study. The number of articles published over the past 10 years has generally shown an upward trend, while Altmetric attention scores have also shown a clear upward trend in general and in most countries. Citation analysis and Altmetric analysis can mutually prove and supplement the influence of papers. The USA, China, Japan, Italy, and the UK are the most productive countries, but China and Japan are significantly inferior to other countries in terms of research influence. Four of the top ten authors are at the center of the collaboration network. LUPUS is the most contributing journal. The theme of systemic lupus erythematosus research mainly focuses on the pathogenesis, treatment, and management of SLE, and the emerging trend is related research on machine learning and immune cells.
This study shows the research status of SLE, clarifies the main contributors in this field, discusses and analyzes the research hotspots and trends in this field, and provides reference for further research in this field to promote the development of SLE research. Key Points • Through bibliometric analysis, Altmetric analysis, and visual analysis, we reveal the global productivity characteristics of SLE-related papers in the past 10 years. • The number of global SLE-related studies has shown a significant increase, indicating that SLE is still a hot topic and deserves further study. • Citation analysis and Altmetric analysis can mutually prove and supplement the influence of papers, and the attention of related literature among non-professional researchers is increasing. • The theme of SLE research mainly focuses on the pathogenesis, treatment, and management of SLE. The emerging trend is machine learning and immune cells, which may provide new strategies for the diagnosis and treatment of SLE in the future.
文献计量分析是一种成熟的学术生产力定量评价方法。鉴于系统性红斑狼疮（SLE）研究在过去十年中的快速发展，我们使用文献计量学方法对 2013 年至 2022 年 SLE 领域的文献进行了全面分析。
在 Web of Science 核心合集数据库中筛选 2013 年至 2022 年 SLE 领域的相关文献。在获取和整理数据后，使用 CiteSpace 和 VOSviewer 软件对相关数据进行可视化，并使用 SPSS 软件进行科学统计。
本研究共纳入 18450 篇文献。过去 10 年来发表的文章数量总体呈上升趋势，而 Altmetric 关注度总体上也呈明显上升趋势，且在大多数国家都呈上升趋势。引文分析和 Altmetric 分析可以相互证明和补充论文的影响力。美国、中国、日本、意大利和英国是最具生产力的国家，但中国和日本在研究影响力方面明显逊于其他国家。十大作者中有四位处于合作网络的中心。LUPUS 是最有贡献的期刊。系统性红斑狼疮研究的主题主要集中在 SLE 的发病机制、治疗和管理方面，新兴趋势与机器学习和免疫细胞有关。
本研究展示了 SLE 的研究现状，明确了该领域的主要贡献者，讨论和分析了该领域的研究热点和趋势，为进一步研究 SLE 提供了参考，以促进 SLE 研究的发展。关键点• 通过文献计量分析、Altmetric 分析和可视化分析，揭示了过去 10 年全球 SLE 相关论文的生产力特征。• 全球 SLE 相关研究数量呈显著增长趋势，表明 SLE 仍是一个热点话题，值得进一步研究。• 引文分析和 Altmetric 分析可以相互证明和补充论文的影响力，非专业研究人员对相关文献的关注度正在提高。• SLE 研究的主题主要集中在 SLE 的发病机制、治疗和管理方面。新兴趋势是机器学习和免疫细胞，这可能为 SLE 的诊断和治疗提供新的策略。
