Abstract
Asia is having rapid economic growth, advancements in healthcare infrastructure and a burgeoning cadre of skilled researchers. Our bibliometric analysis is aimed at discovering the evolving trends in surgical publications across Asian nations. We accessed the SCOPUS data from the SCImago Journal & Country Rank website for analysis of quantitative (number of publications) and qualitative (citations, self-citations, citations per publications and h-index) publication metrics. The bibliometric profile of surgical publications from the Top 10 Global Nations in 2022 shows the primacy of the United States of America, followed by China, Japan, the United Kingdom and India. China and India have made large strides recently and improved their rankings. Among 31 Asian countries, China stands at the top of the ranking with the highest publications in 2022, followed by Japan and India; however, Singapore leads in citations per document and Japan in h-index. Our bibliometric study provides an analysis of the current state and trajectory of surgical research in Asian countries.
