Abstract

Purpose: To analyze the glaucoma research in the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus to determine the top features, trends, and subject clusters.

Methods: In this scientometric study, all glaucoma publications in Scopus and WoS were analyzed based on various characteristics such as authors, journals, and co-word analysis. Data analysis was conducted using both Excel and VOSviewer.

Results: A gradual increase in the publication rate was found for articles in the field of glaucoma in both Scopus and WoS databases. In this regard, most publications were conducted in the USA and the University of California System. The co-word network was constituted of five clusters, including glaucoma, intraocular pressure, open-angle glaucoma, visual acuity, and optic disc. It showed that the top 10 highly cited articles were more addressed by epidemiologic studies.

Conclusions: The findings of this study had a more precise vision of the previous research on the field of glaucoma. It also provided the possibility to discover hidden patterns and emerging events of a subject by explaining the most essential aspects of research and identifying the areas that need more research. The findings could be useful for authors and health policymakers in academia and countries.

青光眼领域的科学出版物和学科群：科学计量分析。

目的：分析 Web of Science（WoS）和 Scopus 中的青光眼研究，以确定其首要特征、趋势和主题集群：在这项科学计量学研究中，我们根据作者、期刊和共词分析等各种特征对 Scopus 和 WoS 中的所有青光眼出版物进行了分析。数据分析使用 Excel 和 VOSviewer 进行：结果：在 Scopus 和 WoS 数据库中，青光眼领域的文章发表率逐渐上升。在这方面，大多数文章都是在美国和加利福尼亚大学系统发表的。共词网络由五个群组构成，包括青光眼、眼压、开角型青光眼、视力和视盘。研究结果表明，前 10 篇高被引文章更多地涉及流行病学研究：结论：这项研究的结果对以往青光眼领域的研究有了更准确的认识。它还通过解释研究的最基本方面和确定需要更多研究的领域，为发现一个主题的隐藏模式和新出现的事件提供了可能性。研究结果对学术界和各国的作者和卫生政策制定者都很有用。
