Abstract
Background: To map the global scientific production on bisphenol and cardiovascular disease between 2019 and 2024, based on the publication volume, network of collaboration, citation trends, and theme evolution in order to provide an overview of research dynamics, principal contributors, and emerging areas in this field.
Methods: This was a descriptive scientometric study. The criteria for selection were that the article must have been published between January 2019 and December 2024, and that the terms "bisphenol" be in the title or abstract. Scopus literature was then searched on December 24, 2024, via a large search algorithm. 640 documents were flagged and studied using SciVal and Bibliometrix in R Studio 4.5.1, to calculate for a variety of bibliometric indicators, and to perform some advanced bibliometric analysis.
Results: Between 2019 and 2024, scientific production worldwide on bisphenol and cardiovascular disease comprised 640 documents published in 402 sources, with an annual growth rate of 6.1%. A total of 3519 authors collaborated, with an average of 6.7 coauthors per document and 18.1% of documents with international coauthorship. Most of overall documents were articles (525), followed by reviews (75), book chapters (16), and conference papers (12). Authors were led by Elisa Cairrao (University of Beira Interior, Portugal) and institutions such as Nanjing Medical University, China. The journal with the highest scholarly output was "Environmental Pollution," with 15 published. Per Bradford's Law, the bulk of publications are in a few journals. Lotka's Law shows that most authors wrote only a single document, and thematic evolution shows trends such, for instance, the stability of "antioxidant activity" and the evolution of "bisphenol A" into themes like "atherosclerosis," and "cardiovascular disease."
Conclusions: The results showed that the studies were concentrated in some journals, and that specific authors and institutions have contributing significantly to this research topic. Understanding these patterns could help inform new research efforts and policy decisions towards a better management of the effects of bisphenol on health related to cardiovascular diseases.
背景：基于出版物数量、合作网络、引文趋势和主题演变，绘制2019年至2024年间全球双酚与心血管疾病的科学生产图谱，以概述该领域的研究动态、主要贡献者和新兴领域。方法：这是一项描述性科学计量学研究。入选标准是，文章发表时间必须在2019年1月至2024年12月之间，标题或摘要中必须包含“双酚”一词。然后在2024年12月24日通过大型搜索算法搜索Scopus文献。使用R Studio 4.5.1中的SciVal和Bibliometrix对640篇文献进行标记和研究，计算各种文献计量指标，并进行一些高级文献计量分析。结果：2019年至2024年，全球双酚与心血管疾病的科研成果包括402个来源的640篇论文，年增长率为6.1%。共有3519位作者合作，平均每篇论文有6.7位合著者，18.1%的论文是国际合著者。大部分文件是文章（525篇），其次是评论（75篇），书籍章节（16篇）和会议论文（12篇）。作者由Elisa Cairrao（葡萄牙贝拉内河大学）和中国南京医科大学等机构牵头。学术产出最高的期刊是《环境污染》，发表了15篇。根据布拉德福德定律，大部分出版物都集中在少数几家期刊上。洛特卡定律表明，大多数作者只写了一篇论文，而主题演变则显示了一些趋势，例如，“抗氧化活性”的稳定性，以及“双酚a”演变为“动脉粥样硬化”和“心血管疾病”等主题。结论：研究结果表明，研究集中在一些期刊上，并且有特定的作者和机构对该研究主题做出了显著贡献。了解这些模式有助于为新的研究工作和决策提供信息，以便更好地管理双酚对心血管疾病相关健康的影响。
