Abstract

Introduction: In the past 3 decades, thyroid cancer research has surged, becoming the leading topic in clinical thyroidology. Despite this, there's a lack of data identifying key articles, authors, and journals. This study aims to provide insights for authors, physicians, and research labs by highlighting the most influential journals, authors, and research topics in thyroid cancer.

Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted using the Scopus database, employing the medical subject heading (MeSH) terms "Thyroid" and "Cancer" in the titles, abstracts, or keywords of articles. The search was limited to English articles in academic medicine journals published between January 1993 and December 2021.

Results: The search yielded 21 472 articles across 3076 journals, authored by 13 974 senior authors. The number of journals publishing on thyroid cancer expanded from 29 in 1993 to 733 in 2021, marking an average annual growth of 14%. Article output on the topic increased from 54 in the initial year to 1580 by 2021, with an annual growth rate of 16%. A thematic analysis revealed 369 articles mentioning "BRAF" since 2004, 479 articles on "ultrasound" techniques, 325 on "ablation" methods, and 453 articles focusing on "genetics" in thyroid cancer. The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism emerged as the most prolific, publishing 1017 articles over the 29-year period.

Conclusion: This study guides resource allocation towards impactful journals for thyroid cancer researchers, helps identify key contributors for collaboration or mentorship, and provides a framework for similar analyses in other fields.

甲状腺癌研究的文献计量学洞察：全面回顾与未来方向

简介在过去的 30 年中，甲状腺癌研究突飞猛进，已成为临床甲状腺学的主要课题。尽管如此，仍缺乏确定关键文章、作者和期刊的数据。本研究旨在通过强调甲状腺癌领域最有影响力的期刊、作者和研究课题，为作者、医生和研究实验室提供见解：使用 Scopus 数据库进行了全面检索，在文章标题、摘要或关键词中使用了医学主题词（MeSH）"甲状腺 "和 "癌症"。检索仅限于 1993 年 1 月至 2021 年 12 月期间发表在学术医学期刊上的英文文章：搜索结果显示，共有 21 472 篇文章发表在 3076 种期刊上，由 13 974 位资深作者撰写。发表甲状腺癌论文的期刊数量从 1993 年的 29 种增加到 2021 年的 733 种，年均增长 14%。有关该主题的文章产出从最初一年的 54 篇增加到 2021 年的 1580 篇，年增长率为 16%。专题分析显示，自2004年以来，369篇文章提到了 "BRAF"，479篇文章介绍了 "超声 "技术，325篇文章介绍了 "消融 "方法，453篇文章关注了甲状腺癌的 "遗传学"。临床内分泌学和新陈代谢杂志》是发表文章最多的杂志，29年间共发表了1017篇文章：这项研究为甲状腺癌研究人员在有影响力的期刊上分配资源提供了指导，有助于确定合作或指导的主要贡献者，并为其他领域的类似分析提供了一个框架。
