Cancer-related pain affects quality of life despite advancements in management. Bibliometric and altmetric analyses provide insights into the academic and societal impact of research.
This study analyzed the top 100 most-cited articles on cancer-related pain using bibliometric and altmetric indicators, exploring correlations between altmetric scores, citations per year, and total citations.
A search of the Web of Science Core Collection database was conducted on 2 November 2024, to identify articles related to cancer pain published between 1975 and 2024. The top 100 most-cited articles were selected based on total citation counts. Only English-language articles with full-text access were included. Bibliometric data were collected. Altmetric scores were retrieved using the Altmetric Explorer platform, and correlations were assessed using Spearman's test.
The 100 most-cited articles appeared in 35 journals, with PAIN contributing the most ( = 19). Total citations and citations per year showed a strong correlation ( = 0.64), but the correlation between altmetric scores and total citations was weak ( = 0.18).
This study highlights the academic and societal impact of cancer pain research. The weak correlation between citations and altmetric scores suggests a need for better dissemination strategies to enhance public engagement.
尽管在癌症相关疼痛的管理方面取得了进展，但癌症相关疼痛仍会影响生活质量。文献计量分析和替代计量分析为研究的学术和社会影响提供了见解。
本研究使用文献计量指标和替代计量指标分析了关于癌症相关疼痛的被引频次最高的100篇文章，探讨替代计量得分、每年被引频次和总被引频次之间的相关性。
于2024年11月2日在科学网核心合集数据库中进行检索，以识别1975年至2024年期间发表的与癌症疼痛相关的文章。根据总被引频次选出被引频次最高的100篇文章。仅纳入可获取全文的英文文章。收集文献计量数据。使用替代计量资源探索平台检索替代计量得分，并使用斯皮尔曼检验评估相关性。
这100篇被引频次最高的文章发表在35种期刊上，其中《疼痛》（PAIN）杂志发表的文章最多（n = 19）。总被引频次和每年被引频次显示出很强的相关性（r = 0.64），但替代计量得分与总被引频次之间的相关性较弱（r = 0.18）。
本研究突出了癌症疼痛研究的学术和社会影响。被引频次与替代计量得分之间的弱相关性表明需要更好的传播策略来提高公众参与度。
