Project description:Immunotherapy is a promising strategy for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), a common and aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis. However, the literature lacks a comprehensive and objective overview of the current research status and trends of immunotherapy-related fields in NPC. We performed a bibliometric analysis of 513 original articles and reviews in English on immunotherapy for NPC from the Web of Science Core Collection database, using CiteSpace and Bibliometrix software tools. We visualized the development trend of publications, the distribution of countries/regions, the co-occurrence of keywords, the collaboration and citation of authors, the citation of journals, the evolution of topics, and the thematic map. We found that the publication volume increased sharply after 2017, with China as the main contributor and leader, the US as an important partner, and the Netherlands as a potential innovator. The research focused on immune checkpoint inhibitors and cell therapy, which were also the hotspots of clinical trials. Tumor microenvironment, immune infiltration, multicenter studies, and novel immunotherapy were the frontier topics and the key challenges for future research. CD137l-DC, lymphoma, and chimeric antigen receptor were emerging topics with good prospects. Our study provides a valuable insight into the research status and trends of immunotherapy for NPC, which may guide future research directions and clinical applications.

Project description:Hot corrosion has attracted researchers due to its complexity of mechanisms leading to a critical challenge for energy efficiency advancement. Literature on hot corrosion spans a wide range of discussions in materials, including metals or non-metals and operating environmental conditions. Hence it was difficult to overshadow the current status and future trends of hot corrosion research. Here we pioneered a bibliometric analysis to identify the research hotspot and possible anticipated future direction of the hot corrosion study. The results showed that at least six research hotspots can be derived after carefully classifying hot corrosion research literature based on their discussion and key findings. Some hotspots were inactive in recent years and brought complications in research direction prediction. Nevertheless, several future trends of hot corrosion research are suggested. This study provides beneficial ideas in enlightening hot corrosion research development.
