The aim is to analyze the citation dynamics, and research focus of the top 100 most cited cardiovascular research.
Data were retrieved from the Scopus database in January 2025, focusing on journals containing the term "cardio" in their title. Only original research articles and reviews were included. The data were analyzed using VOSviewer and R Studio to assess co-authorship networks, keyword co-occurrence, citation mapping, and citation impact indicators.
A total of 100 articles, published between 1967 and 2020, were included in the analysis. These articles had an average of 2,285 citations each. The growth rate of publications was 3.74 %, with an average document age of 20.8 years. Collaboration was extensive, with 1,653 authors contributing to these papers, and 25 % of publications involved international collaboration. Citation analysis showed increasing citation rates over time, with recent papers achieving significant impact in a short period. The top authors, universities, countries, and sources of publication were identified, revealing the global nature of cardiovascular research and its collaborative nature. The title co-words analysis was also performed to understand the main focus of the most cited papers.
This study offers a deeper understanding of the most cited cardiovascular research papers, addressing gaps in previous bibliometric studies by providing insights into citation dynamics, author collaborations, and thematic shifts. Future studies should explore the quality of research and expand the scope of bibliometric analyses.
分析被引频次最高的100篇心血管研究的引文动态及研究重点。
于2025年1月从Scopus数据库中检索数据，重点关注标题中包含“cardio”一词的期刊。仅纳入原创研究文章和综述。使用VOSviewer和R Studio对数据进行分析，以评估共同作者网络、关键词共现、引文图谱及引文影响指标。
分析共纳入1967年至2020年间发表的100篇文章。这些文章平均每篇被引2285次。出版物的增长率为3.74%，文献平均发表年龄为20.8年。合作广泛，1653位作者参与了这些论文的撰写，25%的出版物涉及国际合作。引文分析表明，随着时间推移引文率不断上升，近期发表的论文在短时间内产生了重大影响。确定了顶尖作者、大学、国家及出版物来源，揭示了心血管研究的全球性及其合作性质。还进行了标题共词分析，以了解被引频次最高的论文的主要重点。
本研究有助于更深入地理解被引频次最高的心血管研究论文，通过深入分析引文动态、作者合作及主题变化，弥补了以往文献计量学研究的不足。未来的研究应探讨研究质量，并扩大文献计量分析的范围。
