Abstract
Background: The purpose of this study is to investigate the collaboration among countries, institutions and authors in the field of penile cancer research, as well as to identify the current hot topics in this area.
Methods: Papers about penile cancer were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). Bibliometric analyses were conducted using VOSviewer and CiteSpace to evaluate collaborations between different keywords, institutions, authors and countries in network maps.
Results: 2891 articles related to penile cancer were included. The number of publications were gradually increasing the from 1991 to 2023. Journal of Urology (196 papers) owned the highest number of publications and Journal of Urology was the most co-cited journal. Simon Horenblas was identified as the top productive author with 98 papers and received a large number of citations (5383 co-citations) over the past decades. The United States emerged as the leading publisher in this field with 932 papers published. Cooperation between countries and between institutions was observed. The hot topics included matters mainly related to squamous-cell carcinoma, cancer, penile cancer, erectile dysfunction, men, penis and lymphadenectomy.
Conclusions: This study utilized visualization tools to create a knowledge map of penile cancer research which provides new insights into its time series development context, research hotspots, knowledge network structure and major scholars' contributions in this field.
背景:本研究的目的是调查国家、机构和作者在阴茎癌研究领域的合作情况,并确定当前该领域的热点话题。方法:从Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC)检索与阴茎癌相关的论文。利用VOSviewer和CiteSpace对网络地图中不同关键词、机构、作者和国家之间的合作进行文献计量分析。结果:共纳入阴茎癌相关文献2891篇。从1991年到2023年,出版物的数量逐渐增加。发表论文最多的期刊是Journal of Urology(196篇),共被引次数最多的期刊是Journal of Urology。在过去的几十年里,Simon Horenblas发表了98篇论文,被大量引用(5383次共同引用),被认为是最多产的作者。美国以932篇论文成为该领域的主要出版者。观察到国家之间和机构之间的合作。热门话题主要涉及鳞状细胞癌、癌症、阴茎癌、勃起功能障碍、男性、阴茎和淋巴结切除术。结论:本研究利用可视化工具构建了阴茎癌研究的知识图谱,对阴茎癌研究的时间序列发展脉络、研究热点、知识网络结构以及主要学者在该领域的贡献有了新的认识。
