Abstract
Objective: Neuromuscular junctions, which are responsible for voluntary motor function, are the chemical synapses between motor neurons and skeletal muscle fibers. In this study, we performed a scientometric analysis that can be used to construct and visualize networks of neuromuscular junction model (NMJM) using bibliometric methods.
Materials and methods: A literature survey for NMJM was conducted using "TS= (neuromuscular junction model)," including literature titles, abstracts, and keywords, under the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). Document production was analyzed by document citation, source journals, authors, highly cited documents, countries, organizations, impact factors.
Results: A total of 2046 articles published over the past two decades were retrieved and analyzed. Our results showed that the number of publications in NMJM has increased rapidly over the past 20 years. The most productive author in terms of total publications about NMJM was Thomas H. Gillingwater with 27 documents, who worked at the University of Miami. The geographic distribution of publications showed that majority of them were from the USA. In addition, the research hotspot of NMJM was expanding from the establishment of NMJM to mechanistic studies of diseases.
Conclusions: This study provides a unique perspective for understanding the evaluative history and future trends of NMJM.
目的:神经肌肉连接是运动神经元与骨骼肌纤维之间的化学突触,负责随意运动功能。在这项研究中,我们使用文献计量学方法进行了科学计量学分析,可用于构建和可视化神经肌肉连接模型(NMJM)网络。材料和方法:在Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC)下,使用“TS=(神经肌肉连接模型)”对NMJM进行文献调查,包括文献标题、摘要和关键词。通过文献引用、来源期刊、作者、高被引文献、国家、组织、影响因子分析文献产出。结果:共检索并分析了近20年来发表的2046篇文献。结果表明,近20年来,NMJM的论文发表数量增长迅速。就NMJM的总出版物而言,最多产的作者是在迈阿密大学工作的Thomas H. Gillingwater,他发表了27篇论文。出版物的地理分布表明,大多数出版物来自美国。此外,NMJM的研究热点正在从NMJM的建立扩展到疾病的机制研究。结论:本研究为了解NMJM的评估历史和未来趋势提供了一个独特的视角。
