Description
Summary:This study aims to investigate the global research routine and trends of acute pancreatitis over the last twenty years based on the production, hotspots, and frontiers of published articles as well as to provide the global health system with a bibliometric reference. The Web of Science core collection database was retrieved for acute pancreatitis original articles and review articles published from January 1, 1999 to May 17, 2020. Duplicates and discrete papers were excluded. Articles were evaluated for several characteristics including number of citations, publication time, country of origin, institution, journal and authorship. A total of 7001 articles originated from 94 countries and were published in 1263 journals. The China contributed most articles (1752) followed by USA (1214). The research was major published in specialized journals including the Pancreas (511) and pancreatology (351). Universities were the main institutions of science progress. High-impact articles focused on the fields of clinical medicine. A steady growth was observed in the last 20 years from 1999 to 2020. This comprehensive bibliometric study indicates that severe acute pancreatitis and necrotizing pancreatitis are significant topic in the acute pancreatitis research. The structured information may be helpful in understanding research trends, and locating research hot spots and gaps in this domain.
