This paper aims to provide a bibliometric analysis of the maxillofacial reconstruction literature over 40 years and to compare the data with previous studies.
A bibliographical search for oral and maxillofacial surgery literature in maxillofacial reconstruction was conducted on Wef of Science. A graphic representation of authorship and keywords was created with VOSviewer. Mendeley and Microsoft Excel were used for tabulation and data visualization. Some statistical tests were performed with a 95 % confidence interval, which was considered significant.
A total of 7417 articles from specialized journals were included in the study. These articles received 138,493 citations from 63,390 other studies, with an average citation count of 18.67, and a very high H-index. A total of 2375 specific keywords were analyzed, covering a wide range of topics, with two noteworthy MeSH keywords that have recently gained prominence. A total of 33 journals were included in the study, with a mean Impact Factor of 2.404, indicating a relatively high influence in the subject area.
The high h-index reflects abundant and high-quality literature on maxillofacial reconstruction, with the United States leading in publication quantity. Emerging topics in maxillofacial reconstruction were discussed. These areas shape the discipline, driving advancements and offering opportunities for researchers and clinicians to contribute to progress and improve patient outcomes.
本文旨在对 40 多年来的颌面重建文献进行文献计量分析，并将数据与以往的研究进行比较。
在 Wef of Science 上对口腔颌面外科颌面重建文献进行书目检索。使用 Vosviewer 创建作者和关键词的图形表示。Mendeley 和 Microsoft Excel 用于制表和数据可视化。使用 95%置信区间进行了一些统计检验，认为具有显著性差异。
从专业期刊中总共纳入了 7417 篇文章。这些文章从其他 63390 项研究中获得了 138493 次引用，平均引用次数为 18.67，H 指数非常高。共分析了 2375 个特定的关键词，涵盖了广泛的主题，其中两个最近备受关注的 MeSH 关键词值得注意。共纳入 33 种期刊，平均影响因子为 2.404，表明该领域具有较高的影响力。
高 h 指数反映了颌面重建领域丰富而高质量的文献，美国在发表数量上处于领先地位。讨论了颌面重建领域的新兴主题。这些领域塑造了该学科，推动了进展，并为研究人员和临床医生提供了为进步做出贡献和改善患者预后的机会。
