The hot spots and trends of Fc gamma receptor: A bibliometric analysis from 2004 to 2024.

INTRODUCTION

FcγR (Fc gamma receptor) is a glycoprotein involved in various biological activities, such as inflammation and tumor immunity, and new ideas about the role of FcγR have also been published recently. Our study utilized journals derived from those published from 2004 to 2024 to analyze the research hotspots and cutting-edge ideas in this field.

METHOD

All publications were searched using the web of science core collection database. VOSviewer, the R package Biblioshiny in R-studio and CiteSpace (version 6.1.R6) were utilized to perform bibliometric analysis which focused on authors, countries, organizations, keywords, etc.

RESULT

The analysis of this article is based on 6849 articles related to FcγR from 107 countries and 37,487. The most cited reference in FcγR field is the article "Fcgamma Receptors as Regulators of Immune Responses," authored by Nimmerjahn. Country/region analysis shows that the United States of America (USA) has far more citation frequency and publications than other countries. The most recent hotspots and keywords are "COVID-19" and "SARS-CoV-2."

DISCUSSION

Through bibliometric analysis, we can clearly recognize the evolution of the field of FcγR research, from the original cellular immunity to tumor immunity to the occurrence of the latest viral immunity, which may guide the direction of research in the field and allow researchers to be more aware of the current status and frontiers of the field.
