The vascular chip has emerged as a significant research tool, garnering increasing interest and exploration. We utilize bibliometric techniques to analyze literature from the Web of Science (WOS) database, focusing on core journal publications. The aim is to provide a systematic review and prospective outlook on research trends within the vascular chip field, delving into current dynamics and highlighting areas for further investigation.
We retrieved articles, proceedings papers, and early-access publications related to vascular chips published between January 2012 and December 2022 reported by Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) in 2023. Scientific bibliometric analysis was performed using R-bibliometrix, CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and Microsoft Excel software tools.
A total of 456 publications were obtained, including 444 articles, 11 proceedings papers, and one early-access article. These originated from 167 academic journals and 751 research institutions across 44 countries/regions. The United States contributed the majority of publications (41%), with Harvard University leading in contributions (6.6%). Lab on a Chip was the top journal in terms of publications. Notably, authors Jeon NL and Huh D wielded significant influence, with the former being the most prolific author and the latter garnering the most citations. Recent research has predominantly focused on angiogenesis in relation to endothelial cells.
This scientometric investigation comprehensively surveys literature on vascular chips over past decade, providing valuable insights for scholars in the field. Our study reveals global increases in publications, with endothelial cells and angiogenesis being primary research focuses. This trend will persist, drawing continued attention from researchers.
血管芯片已成为一种重要的研究工具，受到越来越多的关注和探索。我们利用文献计量学技术分析来自科学网（WOS）数据库的文献，重点关注核心期刊出版物。目的是对血管芯片领域的研究趋势进行系统综述和前瞻性展望，深入探讨当前动态并突出进一步研究的领域。
我们检索了科学网核心合集（WoSCC）在2023年报道的2012年1月至2022年12月期间发表的与血管芯片相关的文章、会议论文和早期访问出版物。使用R-bibliometrix、CiteSpace、VOSviewer和Microsoft Excel软件工具进行科学文献计量分析。
共获得456篇出版物，包括444篇文章、11篇会议论文和1篇早期访问文章。这些出版物来自44个国家/地区的167种学术期刊和751个研究机构。美国贡献了大部分出版物（41%），哈佛大学的贡献领先（6.6%）。《芯片实验室》是发表文章数量最多的期刊。值得注意的是，Jeon NL和Huh D作者具有重大影响力，前者是最多产的作者，后者获得的引用最多。最近的研究主要集中在内皮细胞相关的血管生成方面。
这项科学计量学调查全面审视了过去十年关于血管芯片的文献，为该领域的学者提供了有价值的见解。我们的研究表明全球出版物数量增加，内皮细胞和血管生成是主要研究重点。这一趋势将持续下去，吸引研究人员的持续关注。
