Investigation of genetic counseling-related published papers offers a historical assessment of the cumulative scientific knowledge produced by members of the profession and can be the basis for future practice, training, and research. This paper aims to present a bibliometric analysis of genetic counseling publications in Asia.
We conducted a bibliometric analysis of genetic counseling-related manuscripts published in Asia from 1947 to 2023. We excluded articles published in 2024 given an incomplete year of data source. The articles were retrieved through the Scopus database using the search terms "genetic counsel∗" OR "genomic counsel∗" in the article titles. The bibliographic information was downloaded and analyzed descriptively through Microsoft Excel. Network visualization was done through VOSViewer.
A total of 449 genetic counseling-related publications authored by at least one researcher from Asian countries were identified. The most common publication type was original articles (332, 74%) and a total of 299 manuscripts were published from 2012 to 2023, representing 66.5% (299/449) of total publications. Among Asian countries, India had the highest number of publications accounting for 19.4% of the total ( = 87) and publications from Israel had the most citations ( = 1882). Out of the 29 Asian countries represented in the document corpus, 15 have links with other Asian countries. The most common keywords used are and
There is an overall increase in the number of genetic counseling publications authored by at least one researcher affiliated with an Asian institution. This increase has corresponded to various developments in genetic counseling in the continent and is possibly driven by collaboration between and among Asian researchers and other researchers outside of Asia. The analysis of keywords also shows the evolution of topics of genetic counseling publications which also corresponded to the development of genetic counseling as a profession in the region.
对与遗传咨询相关的已发表论文进行调查，可对该专业人员积累的科学知识进行历史评估，并可为未来的实践、培训和研究提供依据。本文旨在对亚洲遗传咨询出版物进行文献计量分析。
我们对1947年至2023年在亚洲发表的与遗传咨询相关的手稿进行了文献计量分析。由于数据源年份不完整，我们排除了2024年发表的文章。通过Scopus数据库，使用文章标题中的搜索词“genetic counsel∗”或“genomic counsel∗”检索文章。通过Microsoft Excel下载并描述性分析文献信息。通过VOSViewer进行网络可视化。
共识别出至少一位来自亚洲国家的研究人员撰写的449篇与遗传咨询相关的出版物。最常见的出版物类型是原创文章（332篇，占74%），2012年至2023年共发表了299篇手稿，占总出版物的66.5%（299/449）。在亚洲国家中，印度的出版物数量最多，占总数的19.4%（n = 87），以色列的出版物被引用次数最多（n = 1882）。在文档语料库中代表的29个亚洲国家中，有15个与其他亚洲国家有联系。最常用的关键词是 和
至少有一位隶属于亚洲机构的研究人员撰写的遗传咨询出版物数量总体呈上升趋势。这一增长与该大陆遗传咨询的各种发展相对应，可能是由亚洲研究人员与亚洲以外的其他研究人员之间的合作推动的。关键词分析还显示了遗传咨询出版物主题的演变，这也与该地区遗传咨询作为一个专业的发展相对应。
