A Quantitative Study of The Most Influential Articles on Cytomegalovirus in Solid Organ Transplantation

Abstract

Objectives: In this scientometric and quantitative study, the previous literature on the topic of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients was analysed. Our overarching goal was to explore the publications in this field and to identify research hotspots. Material and Methods: The Web of Science (WoS) database was utilized to research publications. The following terms were included in the search strategy syntax: "CMV" or "CMV infection" or "Cytomegalovirus" and "solid organ" or "hepatic" or "liver" or "pancreatic" or "lung" or "heart" or "transplantation" or "organ donation". Articles were selected as the document type. The complete text data of the included publications was retrieved from the WoS database. The VOSviewer (version 1.6.10, Leiden University, Netherlands) was used to do the bibliometric study in order to display the collaboration network, emphases, and future trends in the relevant topic. Results: 2432 results were reached from the Wos Core Collection. 1390 of them were articles. The USA was the top-ranked country (29.928%). Germany, Japan, England, and France (6.043%) were ranked in the first 5 countries. Turkey ranked 16th. 1351 (97.194%) of the publications were published in SCI-EXPANDED journals. The first article was published in the year 1971. 990 (71.87%) of the articles were published after 2000. The highest number of publications was in the year 2020 (4.892%). The H index of the articles was 100. There were a total of 45063 citations and an average of 32.42 per item. The number of citations and publications has increased over the last 30 years. The University of London was the top-ranked affiliation. Most of the articles (11.871%) were published in the journal "Transplantation Proceedings". Conclusions: The number of publications in this field is very low, especially for developing countries. The USA, Japan, and European countries are the countries with the highest number of publications.

Solid Organ Transplantasyonunda Sitomegalovirüs Üzerine En Etkili Makalelerin Nicel Bir Çalışması

Abstract

Amaç: Bu nicel çalışmada, solid organ nakli (SOT) alıcılarında Citomegalovirüs (CMV) konusunda önceki literatür analiz edildi. Kapsamlı hedefimiz, bu alandaki yayınları keşfetmek ve araştırma noktaları belirlemekti. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Yayınları araştırmak için Web of Science (WoS) veritabanı kullanıldı. Arama stratejisi anahtar kelimeleri olarak şu terimler kullanıldı: "CMV" veya "CMV enfeksiyonu" veya "Sitomegalovirüs" ve "solid organ" veya "karaciğer" veya "hepatik" veya "pankreatik" veya "akciğer" veya "kalp" veya " nakil" veya "organ nakli". Belge türü olarak makaleler seçildi. Dahil edilen yayınların tam metin verileri WoS veri tabanından alındı. VOSviewer (versiyon 1.6.10, Leiden University, Hollanda), ilgili konudaki işbirliği ağını, vurguları ve gelecekteki eğilimleri görüntülemek için bibliyometrik çalışmayı yapmak için kullanıldı. Sonuçlar: Wos Core Collection'dan 2432 sonuca ulaşıldı. Bunların 1390'ı makaleydi. ABD (%29.928) en üst sıralamadaki ülke idi. Almanya, Japonya, İngiltere ve Fransa (%6.043) ilk 5 ülkede yer aldı. Türkiye 16. sırada yer aldı. Yayınların 1351'i (%97.194) SCI-EXPANDED dergilerinde yayınlanmıştı. İlk makale 1971 yılında yayınlanmıştı. Makalelerin 990'ı (%71.87) 2000 yılından sonra yayınlanmıştı. En fazla yayın (%4.892) 2020 yılında yayınlanmıştı. Makalelerin H indeksi 100 idi. Toplam 45063 atıf ve makale başına ortalama 32.42 atıf yapılmıştı. Son 30 yılda atıf ve yayın sayısı artmıştı. Londra Üniversitesi en üst sıralamada yer alan kurum idi. Makalelerin çoğu (%11,871) "Transplantation Proceedings" dergisinde yayınlanmıştı. Sonuç: Bu alandaki yayın sayısı özellikle gelişmekte olan ülkeler için oldukça düşüktür. ABD, Japonya ve Avrupa ülkeleri en fazla yayına sahip ülkelerdi.
