Scientometric analysis of published papers in global ophthalmology in the past ten years
Journal Title: International Journal of Ophthalmology - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 12
Abstract
"AIM: To investigate the published papers of ophthalmology in past ten years and explore the development of ophthalmology. RESULTS: The number of ophthalmology papers increased from 7450 to 9089 during 2007 to 2017. The average rate increased 2.2% annually. USA accounts for one thirds of the total and two thirds of the highly cited papers. In Asia, China, Japan and South Korea were in Top 10 by the number of ophthalmology papers. UK, Germany, Japan and Australia also had great impact in global ophthalmology. The hot spots included endothelial growth factor, optical coherence tomography and open-angle glaucoma. CONCLUSION: USA is in the leading position in global ophthalmology. Part of Asian countries play an important role in the development of ophthalmology, but the impact needs to be improved."
