Abstract

This scientometric analysis maps the landscape of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) research between 2011 and 2023. By exploring patterns in publication growth, geographic distribution and institutional involvement, this study highlights evolving research themes, key contributors and collaborative networks. Our findings reveal a marked rise in ASD publications, particularly from 2020 onwards, with the United States, United Kingdom and China leading in contributions and collaborations. Scientometric analysis identifies a shift towards advanced machine learning techniques and neuroimaging in ASD studies, reflecting technological integration in research. Institutional analysis uncovers Vanderbilt University and Yale University as major contributors, with significant citation impacts across their publications. Furthermore, prominent funding sources, including the National Institutes of Health, underscore the critical role of funding in shaping research priorities. This comprehensive scientometric overview not only consolidates current knowledge but also serves as a resource to inform future research directions, enhancing interdisciplinary approaches to ASD understanding and intervention.

绘制自闭症研究的景观：科学计量学评论（2011-2023）。

这项科学计量学分析绘制了2011年至2023年间自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）研究的图景。通过探索出版增长、地理分布和机构参与的模式，本研究突出了不断发展的研究主题、主要贡献者和合作网络。我们的研究结果显示，ASD出版物显著增加，特别是从2020年起，美国、英国和中国在贡献和合作方面处于领先地位。科学计量学分析确定了ASD研究向先进机器学习技术和神经成像的转变，反映了研究中的技术整合。制度分析发现，范德比尔特大学和耶鲁大学是主要贡献者，在其出版物中具有显著的引用影响。此外，包括国立卫生研究院在内的主要供资来源强调了供资在确定研究优先事项方面的关键作用。这一全面的科学计量学综述不仅巩固了当前的知识，而且为未来的研究方向提供了信息，增强了对自闭症谱系障碍的理解和干预的跨学科方法。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Developmental Neuroscience publishes original research articles and critical review papers on all fundamental and clinical aspects of nervous system development, renewal and regeneration, as well as on the effects of genetic and environmental perturbations of brain development and homeostasis leading to neurodevelopmental disorders and neurological conditions. Studies describing the involvement of stem cells in nervous system maintenance and disease (including brain tumours), stem cell-based approaches for the investigation of neurodegenerative diseases, roles of neuroinflammation in development and disease, and neuroevolution are also encouraged. Investigations using molecular, cellular, physiological, genetic and epigenetic approaches in model systems ranging from simple invertebrates to human iPSC-based 2D and 3D models are encouraged, as are studies using experimental models that provide behavioural or evolutionary insights. The journal also publishes Special Issues dealing with topics at the cutting edge of research edited by Guest Editors appointed by the Editor in Chief. A major aim of the journal is to facilitate the transfer of fundamental studies of nervous system development, maintenance, and disease to clinical applications. The journal thus intends to disseminate valuable information for both biologists and physicians. International Journal of Developmental Neuroscience is owned and supported by The International Society for Developmental Neuroscience (ISDN), an organization of scientists interested in advancing developmental neuroscience research in the broadest sense.
