Abstract
Objectives: Bibliometric analysis provides a detailed analysis of the research trends and identify the preferred journals, patterns in collaborations, research topics. Till date, no such bibliometric analysis has been carried out in pediatric hearing impairment. The aim of the present study was to conduct a bibliometric analysis to determine the evolution of research in the area of pediatric hearing impairment including key institutions, journals and authors, collaborative links, and top research priorities areas based on author keywords.
Methods: A bibliometric analysis was conducted to identify publications on pediatric hearing impairment in Scopus database. The identified studies were exported from Scopus into Microsoft Excel and VOSviewer for further analysis. Visualization and bibliometric analyses were performed using VOSviewer.
Results: A total of 5996 studies were identified for detailed analysis. The results revealed a growing trend in publications over the years. In all, 118 countries being involved in research on pediatric hearing impairment with maximum papers published in the United States (33.89%) with Harvard Medical School, USA being the leading contributor. The International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology emerged as the most common choice. The keyword co-occurrences revealed five clusters with interconnections.
Conclusion: The study provides an overview of the evolution and research trends in pediatric hearing impairment. These findings provide valuable insights to plan future research in this area.
期刊介绍:
European Annals of Oto-rhino-laryngology, Head and Neck diseases heir of one of the oldest otorhinolaryngology journals in Europe is the official organ of the French Society of Otorhinolaryngology (SFORL) and the the International Francophone Society of Otorhinolaryngology (SIFORL). Today six annual issues provide original peer reviewed clinical and research articles, epidemiological studies, new methodological clinical approaches and review articles giving most up-to-date insights in all areas of otology, laryngology rhinology, head and neck surgery. The European Annals also publish the SFORL guidelines and recommendations.The journal is a unique two-armed publication: the European Annals (ANORL) is an English language well referenced online journal (e-only) whereas the Annales Françaises d’ORL (AFORL), mail-order paper and online edition in French language are aimed at the French-speaking community. French language teams must submit their articles in French to the AFORL site.
Federating journal in its field, the European Annals has an Editorial board of experts with international reputation that allow to make an important contribution to communication on new research data and clinical practice by publishing high-quality articles.
