Abstract
This study aimed to characterize the scientific production of acupuncture worldwide and in Mexico. A descriptive and retrospective bibliometric analysis of the articles published worldwide on acupuncture in 2012–2022 and the articles published by researchers in Mexico without time restriction was carried out. The types of articles, the pattern of authorship, country, publication journals, impact and collaboration networks were analyzed. The Web of Science and PubMed databases were used to search the records. Also, we used the VOSviewer program and the R Bibliometrix package to assess the bibliometric analysis. The results showed that acupuncture research topics have changed in the last decade, and cell biology and genetics studies are trending. There is an evident growth in the production of literature in the area worldwide. In Mexico, acupuncture research groups exist in consolidated educational and research institutions such as UNAM, UAM, and IPN; however, there is no evidence of collaboration between them.
本研究旨在描述针灸在世界范围和墨西哥的科学生产。对2012-2022年全球发表的针灸相关文章和墨西哥研究者发表的无时间限制的文章进行描述性和回顾性文献计量学分析。分析了论文类型、作者模式、国家、出版期刊、影响力和合作网络。Web of Science和PubMed数据库被用来搜索这些记录。此外,我们使用VOSviewer程序和R Bibliometrix软件包来评估文献计量学分析。结果表明,近十年来针灸研究的主题发生了变化,细胞生物学和遗传学研究是趋势。在世界范围内,该地区的文学作品有明显的增长。在墨西哥,针灸研究小组存在于联合教育和研究机构中,如墨西哥国立自治大学、墨西哥国立自治大学和IPN;然而,没有证据表明他们之间有合作。
