Acne is a prevalent inflammatory condition of the pilosebaceous unit, which seriously affects the appearance and mental health of patients. Bibliometrics is the statistical analysis of academic literature in a certain field. We aimed to characterize the 100 most cited articles on acne from a bibliometric perspective, as well as explore the frontier hotspots and trends of acne.
A search was conducted on the Web of Science database on August 8, 2023. we employed the terms "acne," "acne Vulgaris," and "common acne" in our search. The top 100 articles with the most citations throughout the time frame of 2014 to 2023 were discovered and assessed. The visualization study was carried out using bibliometric tools such as CiteSpace 6.2.R4, VOSviewer 1.6.18, and MapChart.
The top 100 most cited articles were published between 2014 and 2021, originated from a diverse range of 48 countries, with a predominant focus on the United States of America (USA) and Germany. The top 100 papers were cited between 50 and 712 times. Dreno B, from Nantes University, was the most frequently nominated author. With 12 papers, the Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology contributed the most to the top 100 list. Alongside the term "acne", the following terms or phrases were observed frequency in the top 100 articles, Cutibacterium acnes, sebaceous, western diet, antibiotic resistance, staphylococcus-epidermidis, insulinlike growth factor 1, benzoyl peroxide, and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Alongside the term "acne", terms or phrases such as Cutibacterium acnes, sebaceous, western diet, antibiotic resistance, staphylococcus-epidermidis, insulinlike growth factor 1, benzoyl peroxide, and polyunsaturated fatty acids, etc also have a high frequency in the top 100 articles.
This analysis summarizes the shifting trends of acne research over the last decades. Research on acne is currently flourishing. The related pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies have been the focus of current research and developmental trends in future research.
痤疮是一种常见的毛囊皮脂腺单位的炎症性疾病，严重影响患者的容貌和心理健康。文献计量学是对某一特定领域学术文献进行的统计分析。我们旨在从文献计量学的角度描述 100 篇关于痤疮的被引频次最高的文章，并探讨痤疮的研究前沿热点和趋势。
我们于 2023 年 8 月 8 日在 Web of Science 数据库中进行了检索。我们在检索中使用了“痤疮”、“寻常痤疮”和“普通痤疮”等术语。发现并评估了 2014 年至 2023 年时间范围内被引频次最高的前 100 篇文章。使用文献计量学工具（如 CiteSpace 6.2.R4、VOSviewer 1.6.18 和 MapChart）进行可视化研究。
前 100 篇被引频次最高的文章发表于 2014 年至 2021 年，来自 48 个不同国家，以美国和德国为主。前 100 篇论文的被引频次在 50 至 712 次之间。来自南特大学的 Dreno B 是被提名最多的作者。《欧洲皮肤病学会与性病学会杂志》以 12 篇文章成为前 100 篇论文的最大贡献者。除了“痤疮”这个术语外，以下术语或短语在前 100 篇文章中也出现了较高的频率：痤疮丙酸杆菌、皮脂、西方饮食、抗生素耐药性、表皮葡萄球菌、胰岛素样生长因子 1、过氧化苯甲酰和多不饱和脂肪酸。除了“痤疮”这个术语外，前 100 篇文章中还出现了较高频率的术语或短语，如痤疮丙酸杆菌、皮脂、西方饮食、抗生素耐药性、表皮葡萄球菌、胰岛素样生长因子 1、过氧化苯甲酰和多不饱和脂肪酸等。
本分析总结了过去几十年中痤疮研究的变化趋势。目前，痤疮研究正在蓬勃发展。相关发病机制和治疗策略一直是当前研究的重点，也是未来研究的发展趋势。
