Bibliometric Analysis of Nontuberculous Mycobacteria Research in South Korea.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Current research on nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) is multidisciplinary, necessitating proper organization to obtain comprehensive insight. Therefore, a bibliometric analysis was performed to identify NTM research characteristics in South Korea.

Methods
