Bibliometric Analysis Of Retinal Detachment Based On SCI Database

ObjectiveBibliometricly analyze the research status and focus of Retinal DetachmentMethodsArticals searched from SCI database used as a data source, analyse the age distribution, national, research agents, journals and citation frequence of articals about Retinal Detachment publishing from January2000to December2012. Detecting the research focus through co-word analysis and co-citation with the assist of information visualization tool CiteSpace Ⅱ.ResultsA total of5293related articles were retrieved. The accumulate articles published every year was in a linear growth process. The dominant Countries in Retinal Detachment research are United States, England, Germany and Japan. Research agents superiorial in this study are Havard University, Southern California University,Thomas Jefferson University and Moorfields Eye Hospital. The core authors who are leading in the study are Tano Yasuo, Shields Carol L, Shields Jerry A, Scott IU, Spaide Richard F et al. The articals mainly published in Retina-J Ret Vit Dis, Am J Ophthalmol, Ophthalmolgy and some other Journals.The high frequent key words are vitrectomy, cataract surgery, Silicone oil/gas/tamponade/remove, Proliferative retinopathy. Research focus were clustered into3categories,which include the researches of cellar and molecular mechanisms or cellar morphology of retinal detachment, the surgical therapies of retinal detachment, and the research of macular hole.ConclusionsIt is suggest that domain research countries, agents, authors and journals of retinal detachment concerns should be given concerns in order to tract the research fonts of retinal detachment. Cellar and molecular mechanisms and surgical therapy of retinal detachment may still be the potential research fields.
