Cancer publications using real-world data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database: Conceptual framework and bibliometric analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bibliometric analysis often overlooks study-based components such as study aims, design, and statistical methods. In this study, we propose a conceptual framework incorporating these study-based components with disease-based components for the bibliometric analysis of cancer articles using real-world data. This framework is a significant step forward in cancer research. We then investigated the distribution and temporal trends of these components for cancer articles using the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) published from 2006 to 2022.

Methods

Study- and disease-based components were extracted and cross-validated. The distribution and temporal trends of these components were then presented.

Results

We analyzed 1232 articles and fo
