Publication Trends in Corneal Neovascularization: A Bibliometric and Visualized Analysis

Le résumé fourni par la source

Purpose: Mechanical injury, alkali and acid injury of the cornea, inflammation and/or dysfunction of the corneal epithelial stem/progenitor cells can cause corneal neovascularization (CNV). We aimed to demonstrate the knowledge elements, focused topics, and recent interests in emerging research in CNV. Materials and Methods: The CNV research documents, reviews, case reports and proceedings papers issued between January 1980 and March 2024 on the Web of Science Core Collection were gathered. The retrieved literature was collected and analyzed by the “bibliometrix” package in R version 4.2.3. Basic and important points were determined by using bibliographic coupling, co-citation and co-word analysis, thus obtaining a general overview of this field. Results: A total of 1439 articles on CNV were achieved, most of which were featured in the United States and China. The institution that reported the most publications was the Harvard University. Cursiefen C and Bock F were the most dominant authors about CNV. The Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science had the highest H-index and most publications. The second journal with the most publications was Cornea. The overall number of CNV publications raised from the year 1980 to 2013. The mean citation count per CNV document was 26.72. Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science was the leading journal at the list based on the total number of citations (n=10505). Conclusions: The current study shows that the research interest of CNV is progressively growing the attention of scholars and researchers.
