Bibliometric analysis of publications in diabetic cardiomyopathy from 2000 to 2020 based on Web of Science / 中华内分泌代谢杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:Based on knowledge visualization analysis to explore the progress of diabetic cardiomyopathy from 2000 to 2020.Methods:Literatures related to diabetic cardiomyopathy indexed in Web of Sciences databases ranging from 2000 to 2020 were collected. Excel, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace 5.0.R1 software were used for visual analysis of countries, research institutions, authors, keywords and related citations.Results:A total of 2 536 articles were collected preliminarily. China has published the most articles in this field through visualization. A total of 909 related articles have been published in the past 20 years, and China has been closely communicated internationally. The United States and Canada ranked the second and the third respectively, totaling 723 and 201. For the distribution of research institutions, the University of Louisville ranked first with 86 articles. A few top high-impact authors, such as Lu Cai and Tan Yi, are from this institution and have published the most articles, indicating that the University of Louisville can be regarded as an international academic center in the field of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Domestic Jilin University and Shandong University followed, ranking the second and the third with 70 and 66 papers respectively. Keyword co-occurrence analysis shows that research hotspots in this field at home and abroad mainly focus on the investigation of the clinical manifestations and pathogenesis of diabetic cardiomyopathy. Finally, through the co-cited literature network, cluster #4 (SGLT-2 inhibitor) is still in evolvement. The development process shows that the treatment is a new trend in the field of diabetic cardiomyopathy research.Conclusions:Knowledge visualization analysis can visually exhibit the intellectual structure, evolution process, hotspots and trending in the field of diabetic cardiomyopathy research. The results showed that the main research power was located in the China, but the cooperation among personnel needs to be strengthened. The future research trend is mainly focused on the treatment of diabetic cardiomyopathy.
