Abstract
Background: With the growing scholarly and clinical fascination with somatic symptom disorder (SSD), a bibliometric analysis is lacking.
Aim: To conduct a bibliometric analysis to investigate the current status and frontiers of SSD.
Methods: The documents related to SSD are obtained from the web of science core collection database (WoSCC), and VOSviewer 1.6.16 from January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2023, and the WoSCC's literature analysis wire were used to conduct the bibliometric analysis.
Results: A total of 567 documents related to SSD were included, and 2325 authors across 947 institutions from 57 countries/regions have contributed to SSD research, published in 277 journals. The most productive author, institution, country and journal were Löwe B, University of Hamburg, Germany, and Journal of Psychosomatic Research respectively. The first high-cited document was published in the Journal of Psychosomatic Research in 2013 by Dimsdale JE and colleagues, which explored the rationale behind the SSD diagnosis introduction in diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the main research hotspots and frontiers in the field of SSD are validity and reliability of the SSD criteria, functional impairment of SSD, and the treatment for SSD. More high-quality studies are needed to assess the diagnosis and treatment of SSD.
背景:随着越来越多的学术和临床对躯体症状障碍(SSD)的迷恋,文献计量分析是缺乏的。目的:通过文献计量学分析,探讨固态硬盘的研究现状和前沿。方法:从web of science core collection database (WoSCC)中获取2000年1月1日至2023年12月31日期间与SSD相关的文献,使用WoSCC的文献分析线进行文献计量学分析。结果:共纳入SSD相关文献567篇,来自57个国家/地区的947家机构的2325位作者在277种期刊上发表了SSD相关研究成果。最高产的作者、机构、国家和期刊分别是Löwe B,德国汉堡大学和journal of Psychosomatic Research。2013年,Dimsdale JE及其同事在《身心研究杂志》(Journal of Psychosomatic Research)上发表了第一篇高被引文献,探讨了在精神障碍诊断与统计手册中引入SSD诊断的基本原理。结论:综上所述,SSD领域的主要研究热点和前沿是SSD标准的有效性和可靠性、SSD的功能损伤以及SSD的治疗。需要更多高质量的研究来评估SSD的诊断和治疗。
期刊介绍:
The World Journal of Psychiatry (WJP) is a high-quality, peer reviewed, open-access journal. The primary task of WJP is to rapidly publish high-quality original articles, reviews, editorials, and case reports in the field of psychiatry. In order to promote productive academic communication, the peer review process for the WJP is transparent; to this end, all published manuscripts are accompanied by the anonymized reviewers’ comments as well as the authors’ responses. The primary aims of the WJP are to improve diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive modalities and the skills of clinicians and to guide clinical practice in psychiatry.
