基于文献计量学的天麻研究现状和发展态势分析OA

Objective:To explore and analyze the research hotspots and development trends of Gastrodia Rhizoma in the international research field based on bibliometrics.Methods:The Web of Science database was utilized to collect the literature reports of Gastrodia Rhizoma related studies from January 2000 to April 2023.Bibliometric visualization softwares,including VOSviewer 1.6.19,CiteSpace 6.2.R4,Bibliometrix R4.3.2 and Excel 2019,were employed for visualizing and analyzing the annual publication trends,journal distribution,countries of publication,institutional and author collaborations,co-citation frequencies,and high-frequency keywords.Results:A total of 1039 literatures were retrieved,and 613 literatures were included after removing duplicate literatures.The earliest research literature related to Gastrodia Rhizoma was published in 2000,and the number of published articles has increased fluctuatingly since 2000.China contributed the largest number of publications on Gastrodia Rhizoma,totaling 496 articles.A loosely connected network of cooperation was observed among countries,institutions and authors,with a total of 162 core authors.The pharmacological effects of Gastrodia Rhizoma were studied and analyzed in the top 10 highly cited articles,primarily focused on the pharmacological studies of gastrodin.Keyword analysis indicated a shift in research hotspot from exploring the pharmacological activity of Gastrodia Rhizoma extract and its main chemical components to investigating the pathway mechanism for disease improvement.The mechanism of action of Gastrodia Rhizoma involved in oxidative stress and its impact on neurodegenerative lesions is expected to become the research hotspot in this field.Conclusion:This study directly reflected the current hot topics and development trends in the field of Gastrodia Rhizoma through the utilization of bibliometric visualization softwares,offering valuable insights for further research on Gastrodia Rhizoma.
