Bibliometric analysis of scientific literature on Acanthamoeba keratitis
Abstract
İntroduction: Our research aimed to assess Acanthamoeba keratitis research trends and compare contributions from various nations, institutions, journals, and authors.
Methodology: A bibliometric design was used. We used the Web of Science database to extract all Acanthamoeba keratitis articles from 1970 to 2021. To collect publishing data, analyze publication trends, and visualize relevant data, Microsoft Excel and VOSviewer were used.
Results: 171 (31.784 %) of them were published as open Access. 92.751% of them were published in Science Citation Index Expanded indexed journals. The mean number of citations was 13733, with a median of 25.53, and the H index was 63. 77.32 % of the articles were published since 2000. University of Texas in the United States had the highest number of publications (78, 14.499%), followed by the University of London in the UK (63,11.71%). The United States (USA) ranked first in the number of publications (151, 28.067%), followed by the United Kingdom (49, 9.108%) and Germany (31, 5.762%). Publications from the USA were cited 6,344 times (42.01/median per publication), while publications from the UK were cited 2,949 times (60.18/median per publication). Acanthamoeba keratitis research has increased significantly in the last 15 years.
Conclusions: With the use of information visualization analysis, we were able to gain a wide understanding of the state of affairs, recognize trends, and identify hotspots. It is a more effective way to learn the literature and could give future researchers summarized data
