Why is it important?
This work shows that scientometric techniques can be a powerful tool to reveal patterns inmedical research that would not be evident with traditional methods of reviewing themedical literature. Systematic analysis of publication and citation data from numerousarticles can help identify important features of active fields of scientific research.
Perspectives
Our study develops a research model for exploring medical publications and document co-citation clusters by CiteSpace to map the structure and the evolution trend of a specialmedicine field over time.
