Abstract

Background

Salivary biomarkers play an important role in the preventive strategy for oral cancer detection at an early stage. The aim of this study was to carry out a comparative quantitative analysis of the research material on the topic in one established database, Scopus and another emerging database, Dimensions.

Method

An electronic search was performed in Scopus and Dimensions in April 2024 with the search subjects “Saliva,” “Biomarkers,” “Diagnosis,” and “Oral Cancer.” The retrieved data were analyzed using Biblioshiny for RStudio and MS Excel.

Result

The search yielded 229 and 158 documents in Scopus and Dimensions, respectively. The data were studied to understand the coverage, concentration, and diversion of research articles. The analysis revealed high singularity index for Scopus and low overlap percentage between the two databases. Scopus was found to have higher citation count per article, however, the citation correlation between Scopus and Dimensions was found to be strong. Author productivity was found to be low in both the databases.

Conclusion

Scopus and Dimensions vary in their scope, volume of data, and coverage policies. Both the databases have complimentary coverage on salivary biomarkers for oral cancer diagnosis. However, Scopus has a greater number of articles, sources, and citations resulting in better coverage of the topic.

用于早期口腔癌诊断的唾液生物标记物既有数据库和新兴数据库的文献计量学比较分析》（Comparative Bibliometric Analysis of Established and Emerging Databases on Salivary Biomarkers for Early Oral Cancer Diagnosis）。

背景：唾液生物标志物在口腔癌早期检测的预防策略中发挥着重要作用。本研究旨在对一个成熟数据库 Scopus 和另一个新兴数据库 Dimensions 中有关该主题的研究资料进行定量比较分析：2024 年 4 月在 Scopus 和 Dimensions 中进行了电子检索，检索主题为 "唾液"、"生物标志物"、"诊断 "和 "口腔癌"。检索到的数据使用 Biblioshiny for RStudio 和 MS Excel 进行分析：结果：在 Scopus 和 Dimensions 中分别检索到 229 和 158 篇文献。对数据进行了研究，以了解研究文章的覆盖面、集中度和分流情况。分析结果显示，Scopus 的单一性指数较高，两个数据库的重叠率较低。Scopus的单篇文章被引次数较高，但Scopus和Dimensions的被引相关性较强。两个数据库的作者生产力都很低：结论：Scopus 和 Dimensions 在范围、数据量和覆盖政策方面各不相同。这两个数据库在用于口腔癌诊断的唾液生物标志物方面都有互补的覆盖范围。不过，Scopus 的文章、来源和引用数量更多，因此对该主题的覆盖范围更大。
