Hotspots analysis on pneumoconiosis research in China,2001-2017 / 中国职业医学

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the hotspots and related situations of pneumoconiosis research in China from 2001 to2017. METHODS: China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang Data were used to retrieve relevant literature on China's pneumoconiosis research from 2001 to 2017. Bibliometrics was used to analyze the distribution of publication time,regions,hotspots,authors and their institutions,carrier journals,keywords,etc. RESULTS: A total of 10 208 literature articles on pneumoconiosis research were screened. The number of published literature in 2001-2017 showed an upward trend year by year( P < 0. 01). Provinces in the Eastern area have the largest number of publications.
