Abstract

Metric-based reviews have been rapidly growing in dentistry. Analyzing their scientific profile and proposing a design method is essential for ensuring quality. This study aims to analyze the profile of metric-based reviews and establish a reporting guideline for such studies in dentistry. The search for articles was conducted in Scopus in December 2024. The main characteristics of the studies were extracted. Collaborative network maps were created using VOSviewer. A guideline was developed based on the profile of the selected reviews. A total of 683 articles were included in the analysis. A significant highlight was observed for bibliometric reviews (n = 631), followed by altmetric studies (n = 31), which were typically global in nature (n = 497). Most reviews aimed to evaluate the scientific landscape of a specific dental topic (n = 530). The articles were primarily associated with general dentistry (n = 172). Most studies conducted their searches in a single database (n = 530). Bibliometric analyses were predominantly conducted on the Web of Science (n = 248), while altmetric analyses were mainly conducted on Altmetric (n = 31). Brazil was the country with the highest representation (n = 121). The practical guide (METRICS) was developed based on the analysis of the reviews. Metric-based analyses have grown dramatically in recent years in the field of dentistry. These studies were mainly global bibliometric reviews associated with general dentistry, with a significant contribution from Brazilian researchers. The protocol developed is essential for ensuring standardization and higher quality in future analyses.

对发表在牙医学上的基于度量的综述的分析和标准化指南的建议：度量。

基于指标的评价在牙科领域迅速发展。分析它们的科学概况并提出设计方法是保证质量的必要条件。本研究旨在分析指标评价的概况，并为此类研究在牙科建立报告指南。对文章的搜索是在2024年12月在Scopus中进行的。提取研究的主要特征。协作网络地图是使用VOSviewer创建的。根据所选审查的概况制定了一项指导方针。共有683篇文章被纳入分析。值得注意的是文献计量学综述（n = 631），其次是替代计量学研究（n = 31），这些研究通常是全球性的（n = 497）。大多数综述旨在评估特定牙科主题的科学景观（n = 530）。这些文章主要与普通牙科相关（n = 172）。大多数研究在单一数据库中进行搜索（n = 530）。文献计量学分析主要在Web of Science上进行（n = 248）， altmetric分析主要在altmetric上进行（n = 31）。巴西是代表性最高的国家（n = 121）。实践指南（METRICS）是基于对评审的分析而开发的。近年来，基于度量的分析在牙科领域有了显著的发展。这些研究主要是与普通牙科相关的全球文献计量学综述，其中巴西研究人员做出了重大贡献。开发的协议对于确保未来分析的标准化和更高质量至关重要。
