Research on myasthenia gravis (MG) has undergone rapid development in recent years. This article aimed to elucidate the characteristics of MG publications over the past 20 years and analyze emerging trends using bibliometric methods.
Information on MG articles was obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection and stored in Excel for quantitative analyses. Bibliometric analyses were performed using CiteSpace and VOSviewer to visualize publications according to countries/regions, institutions, journals, and authors.
A total of 3,610 publications were included in the analysis. The USA had the highest number of publications (NP) and H-index. Among the institutions, the University of Oxford had the highest NP, followed by the University of Toronto and Duke University. Close cooperation was observed among countries and institutions. The most productive author was Renato Mantegazza, followed by Jan J. Verschuuren, and Amelia Evoli. published the most articles on MG, followed by the and . The keyword with the highest strength is "neuromuscular transmission," followed by "safety" and "rituximab." Co-citation analysis includes 103 publications cited at least 65 times, categorized into four clusters. Additionally, 123 keywords cited more than 40 times were analyzed and divided into five clusters.
This bibliometric analysis shows the framework of research over the past 20 years by mapping the scholarly contributions of various countries or regions, institutions, journals, and authors in MG. The analysis also explores future trends and prospective directions, emphasizing individualized treatment based on subtypes, novel immunotherapeutic approaches, and thymectomy.
近年来，重症肌无力（MG）的研究发展迅速。本文旨在阐明过去20年MG相关出版物的特征，并使用文献计量学方法分析新出现的趋势。
从科学网核心合集获取MG文章的信息，并存储在Excel中进行定量分析。使用CiteSpace和VOSviewer进行文献计量分析，以根据国家/地区、机构、期刊和作者对出版物进行可视化展示。
分析共纳入3610篇出版物。美国的出版物数量（NP）和H指数最高。在机构中，牛津大学的NP最高，其次是多伦多大学和杜克大学。观察到国家和机构之间存在密切合作。产出最多的作者是雷纳托·曼泰加扎，其次是扬·J·韦尔舒伦和阿梅莉亚·埃沃利。 发表的关于MG的文章最多，其次是 和 。强度最高的关键词是“神经肌肉传递”，其次是“安全性”和“利妥昔单抗”。共被引分析包括103篇被引至少65次的出版物，分为四个聚类。此外，对123个被引次数超过40次的关键词进行了分析，并分为五个聚类。
这项文献计量分析通过绘制各国或地区、机构、期刊和作者在MG研究中的学术贡献，展示了过去20年的研究框架。该分析还探索了未来趋势和潜在方向，强调基于亚型的个体化治疗、新型免疫治疗方法和胸腺切除术。
