Author(s): Dómhnall J O’Connor*, Laura R Barkley and Michael J Kerin
Background: Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells have garnered much interest in the field of cancer biology. Bibliometric analysis of a scientific field has the potential to reveal insights pertaining to the maturity of the field, the hotspot sources of publication and temporal shifts in research subcategories within the field. Despite the benefits of such an analysis, one has not been conducted to date.
Methods: The Web of Science™ database and VOS viewer software were used to analyse publication and citation data for all publications relating to Mesenchymal Stromal/Stem Cells in oncology. Contributions to the literature were also identified by country, journal and cancer type. Keyword analysis identified trends in developing research categories.
Results: 9927 published articles were analysed. The current publicat.. View More»
