Scoping review of epigenetics on neurodegenerative diseases: research frontiers and publication status.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

Epigenetics has significantly evolved and emerged as important players in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. However, a scientometric synthesis of such changes over time is currently lacking.

Methods

We conducted a comprehensive search of the Web of Science Core Collection from inception until November 5, 2022, using appropriate keywords. Our primary objective was to employ scientometric analysis to depict changes in keywords over time and to assess the structure and credibility of clusters. Additionally, we examined the network of research (countries, institutions, and authors) using CiteSpace and VOSviewer.

Results

We identified 25 clusters with well-structured networks (Q = 0.82) and highly credible clustering (S = 0.91) from 16,181
