BACKGROUND: A bibliometric analysis was performed to map the current status and development trends in medical research in Nepal. It aims to visualize research hotspots within this field and provide effective guidance for future research directions. METHODS: A systematic search of the Scopus database was performed to identify high-cited papers (HCPs) on medical research in Nepal between January 1, 1994, and December 31, 2023. Bibliometrics techniques were applied to analyze the publication dates, countries, institutions, journals, authors, and research hotspots. Statistical analysis and visualization were carried output by MS-Excel and VOSviewer software. RESULTS: A total of 326 HCPs were identified that have received 100 to 10719 citations and registered 223.05 Citations Per Paper (CPP). The 47.54% and 95.40% share of the 326 HCPs have received external funding support and are involved in international collaboration, respectively. The 15892 (417 from Nepal) authors, affiliated to 12830 (177 from Nepal) organizations and published in 138 journals participated in 326 HCPs from Nepal. USA (60.45% share) and India. (51.45% share) were the most collaborative countries, while Spain (1609.15 CPP) and Mexico (1597.08 CPP) made the largest citation impact in collaboration with Nepal. C.L. Ranabhat (n=27) and B. Sathian (n=26) were the most productive authors, while D. Acharya (3652.29 and 16.5), and S. Bhattarai (2880.11 and 13.01) registered the highest citation impact (CPP and RCI). Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu (n=72) and Nepal Health Research Council, Kathmandu (n=34) were the most productive organizations, while Kathmandu University (3652.29 and 16.5) and Nepal Academy of Science and Technology, Lalitpur (2941.67 and 13.29) registered the highest citation impact (CPP and RCI). The Lancet (n=75) and British Medical Journal (n=11) were the most productive journals, while The Lancet Neurology (1749.5 CPP), and The Lancet (1371.13 CPP) registered the highest average citations impact. B. Basnyat has the most citation as first author in health and medical research. CONCLUSIONS: The present study offers an overview of research characteristics and trends of medical research output in Nepal. It identifies main contributors, core journals, and significant subject topics. The study hopes to assist researchers and practitioners in comprehending the development and trends of medical research in Nepal and discovering potential directions for future research.
背景：本研究旨在对尼泊尔医学研究的现状和发展趋势进行文献计量分析，以可视化该领域的研究热点，并为未来的研究方向提供有效指导。
方法：系统检索 Scopus 数据库，获取 1994 年 1 月 1 日至 2023 年 12 月 31 日期间发表的尼泊尔医学研究高被引论文（HCPs）。采用文献计量学方法对发表日期、国家、机构、期刊、作者和研究热点进行分析。使用 MS-Excel 和 VOSviewer 软件进行统计分析和可视化。
结果：共确定了 326 篇 HCPs，它们的引用次数为 100 到 10719 次，篇均引文数（CPP）为 223.05。其中，47.54%的 HCPs获得了外部资金支持，95.40%的 HCPs参与了国际合作。15892 名作者（尼泊尔 417 名）隶属于 12830 个组织（尼泊尔 177 个），在 138 种期刊上发表了 326 篇 HCPs。美国（60.45%的合作份额）和印度（51.45%的合作份额）是最具合作性的国家，而西班牙（1609.15 CPP）和墨西哥（1597.08 CPP）在与尼泊尔的合作中产生了最大的引文影响力。C.L. Ranabhat（n=27）和 B. Sathian（n=26）是最具生产力的作者，而 D. Acharya（3652.29 和 16.5）和 S. Bhattarai（2880.11 和 13.01）的引文影响力（CPP 和 RCI）最高。特里布万大学（n=72）和尼泊尔健康研究委员会（n=34）是最具生产力的机构，而加德满都大学（3652.29 和 16.5）和尼泊尔科学与技术学院（n=2941.67 和 13.29）的引文影响力（CPP 和 RCI）最高。柳叶刀（n=75）和英国医学杂志（n=11）是最具生产力的期刊，而柳叶刀神经病学（1749.5 CPP）和柳叶刀（1371.13 CPP）的平均引文影响力最高。B. Basnyat 作为第一作者在健康和医学研究中拥有最多的引文。
结论：本研究概述了尼泊尔医学研究产出的研究特征和趋势。确定了主要贡献者、核心期刊和重要主题领域。希望本研究能够帮助研究人员和从业者了解尼泊尔医学研究的发展趋势，并发现未来研究的潜在方向。
