Tooth Bleaching: A bibliometric analysis of the top 100 most-cited papers

Abstract This study analyzes the characteristics of the top 100 most-cited papers related to tooth bleaching. A literature search was performed on the Web of Science up to March 2022. The number of citations was cross-matched with the citation count on Scopus and Google Scholar. The following data were collected: number and density of citations; authorship; year and journal of publication; study design and thematic; keywords; institution and country of origin. Spearman's correlation and Poisson regression were used to determine associations between the number of citations and study characteristics. The VOSviewer software was used to generate collaborative network maps for the authors and keywords. The number of citations ranged from 66 to 450. Papers were published between 1981 and 2020. The most frequent study design and topic were laboratory-based studies and 'interaction of the bleaching agent with dental tissues', respectively. Cochran M, Loguercio AD, Matis B, Reis A, and Suliman M were the authors with the highest number of papers. The countries with the most papers were the United States of America (USA) (28%) and Brazil (20%). Indiana University and State University of Ponta Grossa were the institutions with the most papers (6% each). There was a very strong correlation among the number of citations of the three databases. The 100 most-cited papers related to tooth bleaching were mainly published by the USA and Brazil, with laboratory-based studies addressing topics related to the effects of bleaching agents on tooth structure being the most prevalent.

Estado de las investigaciones sobre la gestión de los procesos en revistas científicas

Las particularidades de las revistas científicas en la actualidad, en cuanto a procesos, resultados y sujetos actuantes que garantizan su materialización y sostenimiento, hacen de estas un objeto de estudio de innegable complejidad desde el punto de vista organizacional; todo lo cual revela la ineludible necesidad de una adecuada gestión. Sin embargo, esta perspectiva no es muy común en la literatura científica especializada, lo que implica una búsqueda detallada de las aportaciones realizadas hasta el momento. Los objetivos del estudio se orientaron a analizar, desde el punto de vista bibliométrico, la gestión de los procesos en las revistas científicas, con la finalidad de contribuir a revelar las tendencias que han caracterizado su tratamiento en la comunidad científica y con ello sentar las bases para posteriores estudios. Se realizó un análisis sobre la gestión de los procesos en revistas científicas, utilizando la estrategia de búsqueda "título"-"resumen"-"palabras clave" hasta el año 2022, en las bases de datos Scopus, Science Direct, Google Scholar y SciELO. Se emplearon como métodos teóricos el análisis y síntesis, el hermenéutico-dialéctico y el holístico-dialéctico; como métodos empíricos la revisión documental y el análisis bibliométrico. Se evaluaron y contrastaron diferentes indicadores bibliométricos: la productividad de artículos, productividad y colaboración autoral, ocurrencias, co-ocurrencias de palabras clave, entre otros. Se pudo determinar que, si bien el tema de la gestión de los procesos en revistas científicas ha suscitado un creciente interés en la comunidad científica internacional, ha sido poco tratado en la literatura general y desde la perspectiva de la gestión organizacional.

The particularities of scientific journals today, in terms of processes, results and acting subjects that guarantee their materialization and sustainability make them an object of study of undeniable complexity from the organizational point of view, all of which reveals the unavoidable need to proper management. However, this perspective is not very common in specialized scientific literature, which implies a detailed search of the contributions made up to now. The objectives of the study were oriented to analyze, from the bibliometric point of view, the management of processes in scientific journals, in order to help reveal the trends that have characterized their treatment in the scientific community and thereby lay the foundations for further studies. An analysis was carried out on the management of processes in scientific journals, using the search strategy "title"-"abstract"-"key words" until 2022, in Scopus, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar and SciELO databases. Analysis and synthesis, hermeneutic-dialectical and holistic-dialectical methods were used as theoretical methods; as empirical methods, documentary review and bibliometric analysis. Different bibliometric indicators were evaluated and contrasted: article productivity, authorial productivity and collaboration, occurrences, co-occurrences of keywords, among others. It was possible to determine that, although the issue of process management in scientific journals has aroused growing interest in the international scientific community, it has been little discussed in general literature and from the perspective of organizational management.

Transparência, accountability e governance: revisão sistemática da literatura nos hospitais públicos / Transparencia, rendición de cuentas y gobernanza: una revisión de la literatura en el contexto de los hospitales públicos / Transparency, accountability, and governance: a literature review in the context of public hospitals

Resumo Neste estudo busca-se desenvolver uma revisão da literatura baseada na análise bibliométrica sobre o tema da transparência e da accountability no contexto da governance dos hospitais públicos, procurando identificar linhas de investigação, teoria, método de investigação e lacunas existentes por intermédio da análise das publicações científicas datadas até 2020. A investigação seguiu o referencial teórico da transparência e da accountability no setor público com o intuito de compreender o seu enquadramento no contexto da governance dos hospitais. Com recurso ao software Bibliometrix e terminado o processo de consulta dos artigos nas bases de dados Scopus e WoS, foram selecionados 118 artigos para este estudo. Constatou-se que, no período entre 2017-2020, cerca de 85% das publicações são de base qualitativa e há uma tendência crescente no estudo da transparência e da accountability na governança dos hospitais públicos. A transparência surge frequentemente interligada à responsabilização dos agentes (accountability), às políticas de comunicação externa (relatórios públicos) e interna, assim como à sua compreensibilidade. Verificou-se a ainda predominância das publicações de origem norte-americana e chinesa. O estudo identifica também a escassez de investigação baseada em modelos quantitativos que explorem relações de dependência entre as dimensões estudadas, limitando a compreensão da interdependência entre as práticas de transparência e os atributos internos e externos das organizações. O estudo contribui para o conhecimento sobre interações entre transparência, accountability e prestação de contas na governança dos hospitais públicos.

Resumen El objetivo de este estudio es desarrollar una revisión bibliográfica basada en el análisis bibliométrico sobre el tema de la transparencia y la rendición de cuentas en el ámbito de la gobernanza de los hospitales públicos, buscando identificar líneas de investigación, teorías, métodos de investigación y lagunas existentes a través del análisis de las publicaciones científicas fechadas hasta 2020. La investigación siguió el referencial teórico de la transparencia y la rendición de cuentas en el sector público para comprender su marco en el ámbito de la gobernanza de los hospitales. Recurriendo al software Bibliometrix, y tras el proceso de consulta de los artículos en las bases de datos Scopus y WoS, se seleccionaron 118 artículos de interés para este estudio. Se constató que, en el periodo comprendido entre 2017 y 2020, aproximadamente el 85% de las publicaciones son de base cualitativa y existe una tendencia creciente en el estudio de la transparencia y la rendición de cuentas en el ámbito de la gobernanza de los hospitales públicos. La transparencia aparece a menudo interconectada con la responsabilidad de los agentes (rendición de cuentas), las políticas de comunicación externa (informes públicos) e interna, así como su comprensibilidad. También se observó el predominio de publicaciones de origen norteamericano y chino. El estudio también identifica la escasez de investigaciones que utilicen modelos cuantitativos que exploren las relaciones de dependencia entre las dimensiones estudiadas, lo que limita la comprensión de la interdependencia entre las prácticas de transparencia y los atributos internos y externos de las organizaciones. El estudio contribuye al conocimiento de las interacciones entre transparencia, rendición de cuentas y reporte en el ámbito de la gobernanza de los hospitales públicos.

Abstract This study develops a literature review based on bibliometric analysis on the theme of transparency and accountability within the scope of governance of public hospitals, seeking to identify research lines, theories, research methods, and existing gaps through the analysis of scientific publications until 2020. The investigation followed the theoretical lens of transparency and accountability in the public sector to understand its framework within the scope of the governance of hospitals. Using the Bibliometrix software, and after the consultation process of the articles published in the Scopus and WoS databases, a sample with 118 articles was selected. It was found that, in the period between 2017-2020, approximately 85% of the publications were qualitative, and there is a growing trend in the study of transparency and accountability within the scope of governance of public hospitals. Transparency often appears interconnected with the accountability of agents (accountability), external communication policies (public reports), internal communication policies, and their comprehensibility. The predominance of publications of North American and Chinese origin was also noted. The study also identifies the scarcity of research using quantitative models that explore dependency relationships between the dimensions studied, limiting the comprehensibility of the interdependence between transparency practices and organizations' internal and external attributes. The study contributes to the knowledge about the interactions between transparency, accountability, and reporting within the scope of governance of public hospitals.

Evidence-based research on disability studies in China using VOSviewer / 中国康复理论与实践

ObjectiveTo review the development history of research on people with disabilities, summarize the patterns, characteristics and deficiencies in this discipline, and make suggestions for discipline development in the future. MethodsThe literature about disability from 1986 to 2018 were searched and retrieved on the CNKI. Valid literature were selected based on the title and abstract. Descriptive analyses were used to analyze the development of research on people with disabilities in China. VOSviewer was used to explore the cooperation among researchers and research hotspots in this field. ResultsA total of 2 267 papers were included. Researches on people with disabilities in China started in 1986 and then experienced rapid development driven by survey data, showing obvious stage characteristics. The foundation of academic cooperation networks has been formed initially, showing the comprehensive development of multiple themes. However, in the new stage, the lack of follow-up support for research infrastructure conditions, as well as the slow innovation of research theories and expansion of research contents may become key factors hindering the further development of the discipline. ConclusionThe research foundation should be consolidated in the future, including broadening cooperation and communication channels, strengthening disability statistics, and promoting cross-disciplinary research. Theoretical research should be strengthened by standardizing research methods and finding internalized theoretical innovation points combining the national conditions. Finally, research content should be enriched, especially by closely combining the current changes in the needs of people with disabilities and strengthening the research on disability prevention and control, health promotion, social integration, and social management of the people with disabilities.

Half a century of Sri Lanka research: Subjects, researchers, institutions, journals and impact (1973-2019) / Medio siglo de investigación en Sri Lanka: temas, investigadores, instituciones, revistas e impacto (1973-2019)

Abstract Introduction: Bibliometric analyses of research in Sri Lanka, a lower-middle income island nation in South Asia, has focused mainly on medical research, concluding that there is a need for increased research productivity and impact, and for local solutions to health concerns. There has been no general bibliometric analysis across scientific disciplines in the nation, or any study that covers a long period of time to identify general time trends. Objective: To measure and analyse Sri Lanka research by focusing on subjects, authors, institutions, journals and citation for half a century. Methods: We used an advanced search method to extract publications with the word "Sri Lanka" in the SCI-EXPANDED, and calculated indicators such as total citations from Web of Science Core Collection since publication year to the end of 2019, citations in 2019, and mean citations per publication. Journal data were taken from 2019 Journal Citation Report. Affiliation re-classification was done to ensure consistency regarding the origin of all publications. Publications were further analysed based on collaboration, and first and corresponding authorship. Results: We retrieved 16 069 publications in 19 document types (77 % articles). Corrections had the highest number of authors per publication (616) followed by articles (116). Four articles had more than 5 000 authors and 593 articles had more than 1 000 authors. The highest citations in this database were for international megaprojects where Sri Lanka authors played minor roles. The UK had the most collaborative articles with Sri Lanka (19 %). The articles were published in 3 051 journals across 177 Web of Science categories. The category of Public, environmental and occupational health, with 193 journals, had 6.7 % of all articles, followed by environmental sciences (6.6 %). Conclusion: Sri Lanka has an unusually strong pattern of participating as small role players in international megaprojects about health and physics. Sri Lanka authors should be encouraged to expand their horizons by researching non-applied fields that are the basis of all innovation; to strengthen their own journals so that they have better visibility and impact, and to improve their positions in international projects that are published in larger journals.

Resumen Introducción: Los análisis bibliométricos de la investigación en Sri Lanka, una nación insular de ingresos mediano-bajos en el sur de Asia, se han centrado principalmente en la investigación médica, concluyendo que existe la necesidad de aumentar la productividad y el impacto de la investigación, y de soluciones locales a los problemas de salud. No ha habido un análisis bibliométrico general de disciplinas científicas o algún estudio que cubra un período largo de tiempo para identificar tendencias generales. Objetivo: Medir y analizar la investigación de Sri Lanka centrándose en temas, autores, instituciones, revistas y citas, durante medio siglo. Métodos: Utilizamos un método de búsqueda avanzada para extraer publicaciones con las palabras "Sri Lanka" en el SCI-EXPANDED, y calculamos indicadores como el total de citas de Web of Science Core Collection desde el año de publicación hasta finales de 2019, citas solo en 2019, y media de citas por publicación. Los datos de revistas son del Journal Citation Report 2019. Revisamos manualmente las afiliaciones para garantizar su coherencia, y, de todos los tipos de publicación, analizamos en detalle los artículos en función de la colaboración y la autoría. Resultados: Hallamos 16 069 publicaciones en 19 tipos de documentos (77 % artículos). Las correcciones tuvieron el mayor número de autores por publicación (616), seguidas de los artículos (116 autores en promedio); cuatro artículos tenían más de 5 000 autores y 593 artículos tenían más de 1 000 autores. Las citas más altas en esta base de datos fueron para megaproyectos internacionales en los que los autores de Sri Lanka desempeñaron papeles menores. El Reino Unido tuvo más artículos colaborativos con Sri Lanka (19 %). Los artículos se publicaron en 3 051 revistas de 177 categorías del Web of Science. La categoría d Salud pública, ambiental y ocupacional, con 193 revistas, tuvo el 6.7 % del total de artículos, seguida de Ciencias ambientales (6.6 %). Conclusión: En Sri Lanka hay una tendencia inusual a participar como pequeños actores en megaproyectos internacionales sobre salud y física.

Bibliometric analysis of global research output on teaching and learning of human anatomy / Análisis bibliométrico de la producción mundial de investigación sobre la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de la anatomía humana

SUMMARY: The study and teaching of human anatomy is one of the cornerstones of education of basis science in health professionals. The aim of this study was to present a bibliometric analysis of the global outputs of research on the teaching and learning of human anatomy in the last two decades. The Scopus database was used to search and retrieve studies related to this topic between 2001 and February 10, 2021. A total of 10,481 documents were found through a systematic search strategy. A growing trend in publishing research results was evidenced, starting in 2001 with a considerable increase between 2012 and 2015. Four clusters were identified in studies related to teaching-learning methodologies of human anatomy. These clusters correspond to traditional methods and emerging methodologies such as the use of information and communication technologies, 3D impressions and diagnostic images. In addition, the results of this study indicate that the United States, the United Kingdom and Germany were the countries with the highest production in the number of publications on this topic. Although new methodologies have been included in teaching and learning human anatomy, such as the use of information and communication technologies, the trend in these processes continues to be mediated by the traditional method of cadaveric dissection. However, there is an increase in the immersion of virtual resources as part of these methodologies that should be integrated.

RESUMEN: La enseñanza y el aprendizaje de la anatomía humana es uno de los pilares de la educación científica básica para los profesionales de la salud. El objetivo de este estudio fue presentar un análisis bibliométrico de los resultados globales de la investigación sobre la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de la anatomía humana en las últimas dos décadas. Se utilizó la base de datos Scopus para buscar y recuperar estudios relacionados con este tema entre 2001 y el 10 de febrero de 2021. Se encontraron un total de 10.481 documentos mediante una estrategia de búsqueda sistemática. Hubo una tendencia creciente en la publicación de resultados de investigación, comenzando en 2001 con un aumento considerable entre 2012 y 2015. Se identificaron cuatro grupos en estudios relacionados con metodologías de enseñanza-aprendizaje de anatomía humana. Estos clusters corresponden a métodos tradicionales, metodologías emergentes como el uso de tecnologías de información y comunicación, impresión 3D e imágenes de diagnósticas. Además, los resultados de este estudio indican que Estados Unidos, Reino Unido y Alemania fueron los países con mayor producción en el número de publicaciones sobre este tema. Si bien se han incluido nuevas metodologías en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de la anatomía humana, como el uso de tecnologías de la información y la comunicación, la tendencia en estos procesos continúa siendo a través del método tradicional y la disección cadavérica. Sin embargo, hay un incremento en la inclusión de recursos virtuales que se integran al aula.

Plants and intestinal parasitosis: a review on ethnopharmacological use by the Kantaruré-Batida indigenous community of Brazil / Plantas y parasitosis intestinal: una revisión sobre el uso etnofarmacológico de la comunidad indígena Kantaruré-Batida de Brasil

Indigenous knowledge is one of the most notable traditional sources about plants used to treat diseases. Thus, the aim of this study was to describe the botanical features and to investigate the pharmacological properties of plants used by the Kantaruré-Batida community to treat intestinal parasitosis. Botanical characterization was performed based on integrative review andon access to 'Flora do Brasil' platform, whereas plants' pharmacological properties were investigated through systematic review. Among the 21 ethnospecies used, 48% were described as having activity against intestinal parasites. Although 52% had no such activity described, other properties can account for their use, that indicates that further studies are required. Therefore, this review reinforces the importance of valuing indigenous knowledge as tool to guide antiparasitic agent trials.

El conocimiento indígena es una de las fuentes tradicionales más notables sobre las plantas utilizadas para tratar enfermedades. Por lo tanto, el objetivo de este estudio fue describir las características botánicas e investigar las propiedades farmacológicas de las plantas utilizadas por la comunidad Kantaruré-Batida para tratar la parasitosis intestinal. La caracterización botánica se realizó con base en una revisión integradora y en el acceso a la plataforma "Flora do Brasil", mientras que las propiedades farmacológicas de las plantas se investigaron mediante una revisión sistemática. Entre las 21 etnoespecies utilizadas, se describió que el 48% tenía actividad contra los parásitos intestinales. Aunque el 52% no tenía tal actividad descrita, otras propiedades pueden explicar su uso, lo que indica que se requieren más estudios. Por lo tanto, esta revisión refuerza la importancia de valorar el conocimiento indígena como herramienta para guiar los ensayos de agentes antiparasitarios.

Bibliometric analysis of global sickle cell disease research from 1997 to 2017

Abstract Introduction Sickle cell disease is an autosomal recessive genetic disease caused by a single point mutation in the β-globin chain of the hemoglobin. It has been recognized by the World Health Organization as a public health priority since 2006. Methods The Scopus database was used in this study with the search descriptors: "sickle cell" and "sickle cell disease". We applied common bibliometric indicators to evaluate the trend in scientific literature in sickle cell disease research. Results We retrieved a total of 19,921 pieces of scientific literature in the repertoire from 1997 to 2017. The Price law was fulfilled in the trend of production of scientific literature on SCD as the growth of scientific literature was more exponential (r = 0.9751; r2 = 0.9509) than linear (r = 0.9721; r2 = 0.9449). We observed a duplication time of 4.52 years. The Bradford core was made up of 69 journals with Blood at the top, publishing the greatest number of articles. The most productive institutions were mostly United States agencies and hospitals. The United States was the most productive country. The National Institute of Health was the most productive institution and also had the highest number of citations. Vichinsky E was the most productive author, while the most cited article was published by Circulation. Conclusion The growth of scientific literature in Sickle cell disease was found to be high. However, the exponential growth trend shows a "yet-to-be-explored" area of research. This study will be useful for physicians, researchers, research funders and policy-cum-decision makers.
