Fibrosis is a heavy burden on the global healthcare system. Recently, an increasing number of studies have demonstrated that Extracellular vesicles play an important role in intercellular communication under both physiological and pathological conditions. This study aimed to explore the role of extracellular vesicles' in fibrosis using bibliometric methods.
Original articles and reviews related to extracellular vesicles and fibrosis were obtained from the Web of Science Core Collection database on November 9, 2022. VOSviewer was used to obtain general information, including co-institution, co-authorship, and co-occurrence visualization maps. The CiteSpace software was used to analyze citation bursts of keywords and references, a timeline view of the top clusters of keywords and cited articles, and the dual map. R package "bibliometrix" was used to analyze annual production, citation per year, collaboration network between countries/regions, thematic evolution map, and historiography network.
In total, 3376 articles related to extracellular vesicles and fibrosis published from 2013 to 2022 were included in this study, with China and the United States being the top contributors. Shanghai Jiao Tong University has the highest number of publications. The main collaborators were Giovanni Camussi, Stefania Bruno, Marta Tepparo, and Cristina Grange. Journals related to molecular, biology, genetics, health, immunology, and medicine tended to publish literature on extracellular vesicles and fibrosis. "Recovery," "heterogeneity," "degradation," "inflammation," and "mesenchymal stem cells" are the keywords in this research field. Literature on extracellular vesicles and fibrosis associated with several diseases, including "kidney disease," "rheumatoid arthritis," and "skin regeneration" may be the latest hot research field.
This study provides a comprehensive perspective on extracellular vesicles and fibrosis through a bibliometric analysis of articles published between 2013 and 2022. We identified the most influential countries, institutions, authors, and journals. We provide information on recent research frontiers and trends for scholars interested in the field of extracellular vesicles and fibrosis. Their role in biological processes has great potential to initiate a new upsurge in future research.
纤维化是全球医疗保健系统的沉重负担。最近，越来越多的研究表明，细胞外囊泡在生理和病理条件下的细胞间通讯中发挥着重要作用。本研究旨在使用文献计量学方法探讨细胞外囊泡在纤维化中的作用。
于2022年11月9日从Web of Science核心合集数据库中获取与细胞外囊泡和纤维化相关的原始文章和综述。使用VOSviewer获取包括共同机构、共同作者和共现可视化地图在内的一般信息。使用CiteSpace软件分析关键词和参考文献的引用爆发、关键词顶级聚类和被引文章的时间线视图以及双图。使用R包“bibliometrix”分析年产量、每年引用次数、国家/地区之间的合作网络、主题演变图和史学网络。
本研究共纳入了2013年至2022年发表的3376篇与细胞外囊泡和纤维化相关的文章，中国和美国是主要贡献者。上海交通大学的出版物数量最多。主要合作者有乔瓦尼·卡穆西、斯特凡尼亚·布鲁诺、玛尔塔·特帕罗和克里斯蒂娜·格兰奇。与分子、生物学、遗传学、健康、免疫学和医学相关的期刊倾向于发表关于细胞外囊泡和纤维化的文献。“恢复”“异质性”“降解”“炎症”和“间充质干细胞”是该研究领域的关键词。与包括“肾脏疾病”“类风湿性关节炎”和“皮肤再生”在内的几种疾病相关的细胞外囊泡和纤维化文献可能是最新的热门研究领域。
本研究通过对2013年至2022年发表的文章进行文献计量分析，提供了关于细胞外囊泡和纤维化的全面视角。我们确定了最具影响力的国家、机构、作者和期刊。我们为对细胞外囊泡和纤维化领域感兴趣的学者提供了近期研究前沿和趋势的信息。它们在生物过程中的作用具有引发未来研究新热潮的巨大潜力。
