Bibliometric analysis of highly cited papers in a particular discipline brings forward the impactful papers published, the significant journals and the researchers in the field. These studies help in identifying research trends and research lacunae in the field, thus guiding the future research works. Oral proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (OPVL) is a challenging lesion with no uniform diagnostic criteria. Thus, bibliometric analysis of published papers in this field will help researchers and clinicians to get an overview of the research trends and the research lacunae associated with OPVL.
A search was done with help of Scopus database in November 2023. The articles on OPVL were retrieved and reviewed thoroughly. The bibliometric data was also recorded.
The impactful research papers were published in the time span of 1985-2022 with maximum output being in the decade 2011-2020. The highest citation received was 297 and the least was 4 (mean citations 34 ± 42.57). These papers were published in 47 different journals. Seven authors contributed 5 or more papers each. United States had the major contribution of papers (n = 28). There were 71 articles and 18 review papers in the top list.
This bibliometric and citation analysis of OPVL research papers will guide researchers and clinicians in understanding the research traits and thus, may help in making OPVL a less challenging lesion.
对某一特定学科高被引论文进行文献计量分析，能找出该领域已发表的有影响力的论文、重要期刊以及研究人员。这些研究有助于识别该领域的研究趋势和研究空白，从而指导未来的研究工作。口腔增殖性疣状白斑（OPVL）是一种具有挑战性的病变，没有统一的诊断标准。因此，对该领域已发表论文进行文献计量分析，将有助于研究人员和临床医生了解与OPVL相关的研究趋势和研究空白。
2023年11月借助Scopus数据库进行检索。检索并全面审查了关于OPVL的文章。同时记录了文献计量数据。
有影响力的研究论文发表于1985年至2022年期间，产出最多的是2011年至2020年这十年。最高被引次数为297次，最低为4次（平均被引次数34 ± 42.57）。这些论文发表在47种不同的期刊上。七位作者每人贡献了5篇或更多论文。美国的论文贡献最大（n = 28）。排名靠前的有71篇文章和18篇综述论文。
对OPVL研究论文的这种文献计量和引文分析将指导研究人员和临床医生了解研究特点，从而可能有助于使OPVL成为一个不那么具有挑战性的病变。
