Visual analysis of global research output of lymphedema based on bibliometrics.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Globally, several generations of doctors in the field of lymphedema have created numerous publications. To date, no bibliometric analysis has been performed specifically on these publications. For the further promotion of research on lymphedema and to align with the international research frontiers, it is essential to understand the current state of Lymphedema research output.

Objective

This study aims to statistically and visually analyze the characteristics of publications output, distribution of contributions and development process of lymphedema, enriching the knowledge base of Lymphedema, and then seek potential research topics and collaborators.

Methods

Based on the Web of Science core collection database, we firstly analyzed the quantity and quality
