Abstract

ABSTRACT The study presents an overview of global research output on the Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine from 1989–2021 using various scientometric indicators. The objective is to inform and present a comprehensive analysis of BCG vaccine research to health practitioners, researchers, and librarians that has not been explored from the perspective of scientometrics. Using a search strategy, data was collected from the Web of Science database and 2416 original articles were identified. Computed analysis of the literature was done through the software bibloshiny (a web interface for bibliometrix analysis) in the R statistical programming environment. The study examined the pattern of growth of research output, prolific authors, institutions, key journals, and countries involved in BCG vaccine research. Findings reveal an increase in research output on BCG vaccine from 2008 onwards. The highest number of articles 163 were published in 2016. Key journals, authors, and institutions working in the field of BCG vaccine research have been identified. A Sankey diagram has been used to depict the evolution of BCG vaccine research. This article reports the evolution of BCG vaccine research in terms of annual growth of publications, relevant authors, institutions, countries, and the evolution of author keywords and the growth of BCG vaccine research areas.

全球卡介苗研究的科学进展:科学计量学研究

摘要:本研究概述了1989-2021年间全球关于卡介苗(Bacille calmetet - guerin, BCG)疫苗的研究成果，使用了各种科学计量指标。目的是向卫生从业者、研究人员和图书馆员提供卡介苗研究的全面分析，这些研究尚未从科学计量学的角度进行探索。采用检索策略，从Web of Science数据库中收集数据，筛选出2416篇原创文章。文献的计算分析是通过在R统计编程环境中的软件bibloshiny(一个用于文献计量分析的web界面)完成的。该研究调查了研究产出的增长模式、多产作者、机构、主要期刊和参与卡介苗研究的国家。调查结果显示，从2008年起，卡介苗的研究产出有所增加。2016年发表了最多的163篇文章。已确定了卡介苗研究领域的主要期刊、作者和机构。桑基图被用来描述卡介苗研究的演变。本文从出版物的年增长、相关作者、机构、国家、作者关键词的演变和卡介苗研究领域的增长等方面报道了卡介苗研究的演变。
