{"title":"牙龄估计六十年研究:文献计量学研究","authors":"Carlos Alonso Leite dos Santos, Patric Anderson Gomes da Silva, Luiz Marivando Barros, Jean Paul Kamdem, Antonia Eliene Duarte, Waseem Hassan","doi":"10.1186/s41935-023-00370-1","DOIUrl":null,"url":null,"abstract":"<p>On September 29, 2023, Merdietio Boedi et al., (2023) published a remarkable article. They performed bibliometric analysis of dental age estimation (DAE). The search string was “Dental Age Estimation” OR “Age Determination through Teeth.” The data was retrieved from Scopus database and covered the publications from 1964 to 2022.</p><p>We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for their valuable work. They also adapted a meticulous approach in gathering, analyzing, and presenting the relevant data. In this communication, we would like to request the esteemed authors for their expert opinion about a few discrepancies. We also tried to contribute new data that may enhance the quality of the published work.</p><p>The authors reported and analyzed 1638 articles, however for the same search strings we found 1744 research documents (from 1964 to 2022). The expert opinion of Merdietio Boedi, R., and their colleagues will be highly appreciated to clarify the stated discrepancy.</p><p>We also observed significant differences in the productivity of universities. For instance, according to Merdietio Boedi et al. the University of São Paulo (USP) have produced 104 articles, But according to our findings USP published only 35 documents. Similarly, the Universitätsklinikum Münster, which was listed with 83 articles in the article, actually has a total of 29 articles. While the University of Zagreb, to which 71 articles were attributed, actually has 28 research documents.</p><p>Regarding countries, there are indeed significant discrepancies in the numbers presented. India, as mentioned, has a total of 667 articles, but the database indicated only 196. In the case of Italy, there are 532 articles, while the database lists 148. Certainly, a more in-depth analysis of these discrepancies is necessary to better understand the origin of these differences. Further investigations and clarifications are essential to reconcile these disparities in the data. Once again thanks to Merdietio Boedi et al. for their interesting work and we believe their expert opinion will truly help the common readership.</p><p>The data was retrieved from Scopus and attached as Supplementary material. the authors confirm that the data underlying the conclusions of this study are available in the article (and/or) its supplementary materials.</p><dl><dt style=\"min-width:50px;\"><dfn>DAE:</dfn></dt><dd>\n<p>Dental Age Estimation</p>\n</dd><dt style=\"min-width:50px;\"><dfn>USP:</dfn></dt><dd>\n<p>University of São Paulo</p>\n</dd></dl><ul data-track-component=\"outbound reference\"><li><p>MerdietioBoedi R, Mânica S, Franco A (2023) Sixty years of research in dental age estimation: a bibliometric study.

They performed bibliometric analysis of dental age estimation (DAE). The search string was “Dental Age Estimation” OR “Age Determination through Teeth.” The data was retrieved from Scopus database and covered the publications from 1964 to 2022.</p><p>We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for their valuable work. They also adapted a meticulous approach in gathering, analyzing, and presenting the relevant data. In this communication, we would like to request the esteemed authors for their expert opinion about a few discrepancies. We also tried to contribute new data that may enhance the quality of the published work.</p><p>The authors reported and analyzed 1638 articles, however for the same search strings we found 1744 research documents (from 1964 to 2022). The expert opinion of Merdietio Boedi, R., and their colleagues will be highly appreciated to clarify the stated discrepancy.</p><p>We also observed significant differences in the productivity of universities. For instance, according to Merdietio Boedi et al. the University of São Paulo (USP) have produced 104 articles, But according to our findings USP published only 35 documents. Similarly, the Universitätsklinikum Münster, which was listed with 83 articles in the article, actually has a total of 29 articles. While the University of Zagreb, to which 71 articles were attributed, actually has 28 research documents.</p><p>Regarding countries, there are indeed significant discrepancies in the numbers presented. India, as mentioned, has a total of 667 articles, but the database indicated only 196. In the case of Italy, there are 532 articles, while the database lists 148. Certainly, a more in-depth analysis of these discrepancies is necessary to better understand the origin of these differences. Further investigations and clarifications are essential to reconcile these disparities in the data. Once again thanks to Merdietio Boedi et al. for their interesting work and we believe their expert opinion will truly help the common readership.</p><p>The data was retrieved from Scopus and attached as Supplementary material. the authors confirm that the data underlying the conclusions of this study are available in the article (and/or) its supplementary materials.</p><dl><dt style=\\\"min-width:50px;\\\"><dfn>DAE:</dfn></dt><dd>\\n<p>Dental Age Estimation</p>\\n</dd><dt style=\\\"min-width:50px;\\\"><dfn>USP:</dfn></dt><dd>\\n<p>University of São Paulo</p>\\n</dd></dl><ul data-track-component=\\\"outbound reference\\\"><li><p>MerdietioBoedi R, Mânica S, Franco A (2023) Sixty years of research in dental age estimation: a bibliometric study.

摘要
2023年9月29日,Merdietio Boedi et al.,(2023)发表了一篇引人注目的文章。他们对牙龄估计(DAE)进行文献计量学分析。搜索字符串是“牙齿年龄估计”或“通过牙齿确定年龄”。数据从Scopus数据库中检索,涵盖了1964 - 2022年的出版物。我们对他们的宝贵工作表示衷心的感谢。他们在收集、分析和呈现相关数据时也采用了一丝不苟的方法。在这封信函中,我们想请尊敬的作者就一些不符之处提出他们的专家意见。我们还试图提供新的数据,以提高已发表作品的质量。作者报告并分析了1638篇文章,然而对于相同的搜索字符串,我们发现了1744份研究文件(从1964年到2022年)。Merdietio Boedi, R.及其同事的专家意见将被高度赞赏,以澄清所述的差异。我们还观察到各大学的生产率存在显著差异。例如,根据Merdietio Boedi等人的研究,<s:1>圣保罗大学(USP)发表了104篇论文,但根据我们的发现,USP只发表了35篇论文。同样,在文章中列出了83篇文章的Universitätsklinikum m<e:1> nster,实际上总共有29篇文章。而发表了71篇论文的萨格勒布大学实际上有28份研究文件。就国家而言,所提供的数字确实存在重大差异。如前所述,印度共有667篇文章,但数据库显示只有196篇。以意大利为例,有532篇文章,而数据库列出了148篇。当然,为了更好地理解这些差异的起源,对这些差异进行更深入的分析是必要的。为了调和这些数据上的差异,进一步的调查和澄清是必不可少的。再次感谢Merdietio Boedi等人有趣的工作,我们相信他们的专家意见将真正帮助普通读者。数据从Scopus检索,并作为补充资料附上。作者确认,本研究结论的基础数据可在文章(和/或)其补充材料中获得。DAE:牙龄估计usp:University of University of o paulo omerdietioboedi R, m<e:1> nica S, Franco A(2023)牙龄估计的六十年研究:文献计量学研究。埃及。法医科学。13:41。https://doi.org/10.1186/s41935-023-00360-3Article Google Scholar下载参考资料作者及单位Cariri地区大学生物科学系,皮门塔校区,克拉托,塞拉亚,cep63105 - 5000,巴西carlos Alonso Leite dos Santos, patrick Anderson Gomes da Silva, Luiz Marivando Barros &;anonia Eliene duarte萨斯喀彻温大学医学院生物化学,微生物学和免疫学(BMI)系,s7n5e5, SK,萨斯卡通,威金斯路107号,让·保罗·卡姆德白沙瓦大学化学科学研究所,白沙瓦,25120,开伯尔普赫图赫瓦巴基斯坦waseem hassanauthorsscarlos Alonso Leite dos santos查看作者出版物您也可以在PubMed Google scholarparric Anderson Gomes da silva查看作者出版物您也可以在PubMed Google ScholarLuiz Marivando BarrosView作者出版物中搜索此作者您也可以在PubMed Google ScholarJean Paul KamdemView作者出版物中搜索此作者您也可以在PubMed Google ScholarAntonia Eliene DuarteView作者中搜索此作者你也可以在PubMed Google ScholarWaseem HassanView查看作者的出版物。你也可以在PubMed Google ScholarContributionsWH设计了这项研究。ALD对文章进行了评估。WH从斯高帕斯下载了数据。ALD检查了数据。谁用了Vosviewer ?ALD写了初稿WH准备了表格,三人共同敲定了这封信。通讯作者:Antonia Eliene Duarte对参与者的伦理批准和同意不适用。同意发表我们同意发表。interestsNone竞争。出版商声明:对于已出版的地图和机构关系中的管辖权要求,普林格·自然保持中立。附加文件1:补充表1。Spocus数据库中1964年至2022年每个隶属关系的文件数量。补充表2。Spocus数据库中1964年至2022年各国文件数量。开放获取本文遵循知识共享署名4.0国际许可协议,该协议允许以任何媒介或格式使用、共享、改编、分发和复制,只要您适当地注明原作者和来源,提供知识共享许可协议的链接,并注明是否进行了更改。 本文中的图像或其他第三方材料包含在文章的知识共享许可协议中,除非在材料的署名中另有说明。如果材料未包含在文章的知识共享许可中,并且您的预期用途不被法律法规允许或超过允许的用途,您将需要直接获得版权所有者的许可。要查看本许可协议的副本,请访问http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/.Reprints和PermissionsCite,查看dos Santos, c.a.l., da Silva, p.a.g., Barros, L.M.等人的文章。牙龄估计六十年研究:文献计量学研究。埃及法医学报,2013,50(2023)。https://doi.org/10.1186/s41935-023-00370-1Download citation:收稿日期:2023年10月13日接受日期:2023年11月6日发布日期:2023年11月15日doi: https://doi.org/10.1186/s41935-023-00370-1Share这篇文章任何你分享以下链接的人都可以阅读到这篇文章:获取可共享链接对不起,这篇文章目前没有可共享链接。复制到剪贴板由Springer Nature shareit内容共享计划提供
Sixty years of research in dental age estimation: a bibliometric study
On September 29, 2023, Merdietio Boedi et al., (2023) published a remarkable article. They performed bibliometric analysis of dental age estimation (DAE). The search string was “Dental Age Estimation” OR “Age Determination through Teeth.” The data was retrieved from Scopus database and covered the publications from 1964 to 2022.
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for their valuable work. They also adapted a meticulous approach in gathering, analyzing, and presenting the relevant data. In this communication, we would like to request the esteemed authors for their expert opinion about a few discrepancies. We also tried to contribute new data that may enhance the quality of the published work.
The authors reported and analyzed 1638 articles, however for the same search strings we found 1744 research documents (from 1964 to 2022). The expert opinion of Merdietio Boedi, R., and their colleagues will be highly appreciated to clarify the stated discrepancy.
We also observed significant differences in the productivity of universities. For instance, according to Merdietio Boedi et al. the University of São Paulo (USP) have produced 104 articles, But according to our findings USP published only 35 documents. Similarly, the Universitätsklinikum Münster, which was listed with 83 articles in the article, actually has a total of 29 articles. While the University of Zagreb, to which 71 articles were attributed, actually has 28 research documents.
Regarding countries, there are indeed significant discrepancies in the numbers presented. India, as mentioned, has a total of 667 articles, but the database indicated only 196. In the case of Italy, there are 532 articles, while the database lists 148. Certainly, a more in-depth analysis of these discrepancies is necessary to better understand the origin of these differences. Further investigations and clarifications are essential to reconcile these disparities in the data. Once again thanks to Merdietio Boedi et al. for their interesting work and we believe their expert opinion will truly help the common readership.
The data was retrieved from Scopus and attached as Supplementary material. the authors confirm that the data underlying the conclusions of this study are available in the article (and/or) its supplementary materials.
