Metric-based reviews have been rapidly growing in dentistry. Analyzing their scientific profile and proposing a design method is essential for ensuring quality. This study aims to analyze the profile of metric-based reviews and establish a reporting guideline for such studies in dentistry. The search for articles was conducted in Scopus in December 2024. The main characteristics of the studies were extracted. Collaborative network maps were created using VOSviewer. A guideline was developed based on the profile of the selected reviews. A total of 683 articles were included in the analysis. A significant highlight was observed for bibliometric reviews (n = 631), followed by altmetric studies (n = 31), which were typically global in nature (n = 497). Most reviews aimed to evaluate the scientific landscape of a specific dental topic (n = 530). The articles were primarily associated with general dentistry (n = 172). Most studies conducted their searches in a single database (n = 530). Bibliometric analyses were predominantly conducted on the Web of Science (n = 248), while altmetric analyses were mainly conducted on Altmetric (n = 31). Brazil was the country with the highest representation (n = 121). The practical guide (METRICS) was developed based on the analysis of the reviews. Metric-based analyses have grown dramatically in recent years in the field of dentistry. These studies were mainly global bibliometric reviews associated with general dentistry, with a significant contribution from Brazilian researchers. The protocol developed is essential for ensuring standardization and higher quality in future analyses.
基于指标的综述在牙科领域迅速发展。分析其科学概况并提出一种设计方法对于确保质量至关重要。本研究旨在分析基于指标的综述的概况，并为牙科领域此类研究制定报告指南。于2024年12月在Scopus中进行文章检索。提取了这些研究的主要特征。使用VOSviewer创建了合作网络图。根据所选综述的概况制定了指南。共有683篇文章纳入分析。观察到文献计量学综述（n = 631）有显著亮点，其次是替代计量学研究（n = 31），这些研究通常具有全球性（n = 497）。大多数综述旨在评估特定牙科主题的科学状况（n = 530）。这些文章主要与普通牙科相关（n = 172）。大多数研究在单个数据库中进行检索（n = 530）。文献计量分析主要在科学网（n = 248）上进行，而替代计量分析主要在替代计量学平台（n = 31）上进行。巴西是代表性最高的国家（n = 121）。基于对这些综述的分析制定了实用指南（METRICS）。近年来，基于指标的分析在牙科领域急剧增长。这些研究主要是与普通牙科相关的全球文献计量学综述，巴西研究人员做出了重大贡献。所制定的方案对于确保未来分析的标准化和更高质量至关重要。
