In celebration of the journal's 50th anniversary, the aim of the study was to review the whole collection of Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology (CDOE) publications from 1973 to 2022 and provide a complete overview of the main publication characteristics.
The study used bibliometric techniques such as performance and science mapping analysis of 3428 articles extracted from the Scopus database. The data were analysed using the 'Bibliometrix' package in R. The journal's scientific production was examined, along with the yearly citation count, the distribution of publications based on authors, the corresponding author's country and affiliation and citation count, citing source and keywords. Bibliometric network maps were constructed to determine the conceptual, intellectual and social collaborative structure over the past 50 years. The trending research topics and themes were identified.
The total number of articles and average citations has increased over the years. D Locker, AJ Spencer, A Sheiham and WM Thomson were the most frequently published authors, and PE Petersen, GD Slade and AI Ismail published papers with the highest citations. The most published countries were the United States, United Kingdom, Brazil and Canada, frequently engaging in collaborative efforts. The most common keywords used were 'dental caries', 'oral epidemiology' and 'oral health'. The trending topics were healthcare and health disparities, social determinants of health, systematic review and health inequalities. Epidemiology, oral health and disparities were highly researched areas.
This bibliometric study reviews CDOE's significant contribution to dental public health by identifying key research trends, themes, influential authors and collaborations. The findings provide insights into the need to increase publications from developing countries, improve gender diversity in authorship and broaden the scope of research themes.
为庆祝该期刊创刊50周年，本研究旨在回顾《社区牙科与口腔流行病学》（CDOE）1973年至2022年的全部出版物，并全面概述其主要出版特征。
本研究采用文献计量学技术，如对从Scopus数据库中提取的3428篇文章进行绩效分析和科学图谱分析。使用R语言中的“Bibliometrix”软件包对数据进行分析。考察了该期刊的科研产出、年度被引频次、基于作者的出版物分布、通讯作者的国家和单位以及被引频次、引用来源和关键词。构建文献计量网络图以确定过去50年的概念、知识和社会合作结构。确定了研究热点话题和主题。
多年来文章总数和平均被引频次均有所增加。D·洛克、AJ·斯宾塞、A·谢伊姆和WM·汤姆森是发表文章最频繁的作者，PE·彼得森、GD·斯莱德和AI·伊斯梅尔发表的论文被引频次最高。发表文章最多的国家是美国、英国、巴西和加拿大，这些国家经常开展合作。最常用的关键词是“龋齿”“口腔流行病学”和“口腔健康”。研究热点话题包括医疗保健与健康差距、健康的社会决定因素、系统评价和健康不平等。流行病学、口腔健康和差距是研究较多的领域。
这项文献计量学研究通过确定关键研究趋势、主题、有影响力的作者和合作，回顾了CDOE对牙科公共卫生的重大贡献。研究结果为增加发展中国家的出版物、提高作者的性别多样性以及拓宽研究主题范围提供了见解。
