Classic Papers in Critical Care: A Bibliometric Analysis

Purpose- This study aimed to identify and analyze the bibliometric characteristics of the classic papers in the field of critical care. Design/methodology/approach- In this bibliometric overview, Google Scholar, Scopus and Web of Science were used for data collection. Study sample consisted of the classic papers in the field of critical care, introduced in Google scholar. SPSS were used for data analyses. Findings- Critical Care ranked the first journal in having critical care classic papers. All critical care classic papers were multi-authored. The most highly-cited paper was a paper titled Intensive insulin therapy in the medical ICU , with 3796 received citations in Google Scholar. The United States was the top contributing country. There was a significantly positive correlation between the citations of critical care classic papers in Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science (r= .988, p\u3c.001). Practical implications- The bibliometric overview of critical care classic papers can be beneficial to the researchers and specialists in the field as well as to the editorial teams of its related journals. Bibliometricians and library and information specialist can use the findings of the study. Originality/value- This study is the first to analyze the classic papers in critical care field from a bibliometric perspective

Analyzing the Global Trend of Publications on Laryngeal Mask Airway

Background: Bibliometrics evaluates the scientific publications in different fields from different aspects. However, the bibliometric state of global research publications on Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA), as a main progressive medical field, is unknown. Aim: This study aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis and scientific visualization for inspecting some main bibliometric indicators of the research publications in the field. Methods: This study is a descriptive cross-sectional applied study that used bibliometric techniques. MeSH-retrieved synonyms for LMA were searched in Scopus and the bibliometric indicators of retrieved papers in the field were measured and visualized in Excel and VOSviewer. Results: In total, 9,783 papers were published on LMA during 1952-2021, starting from one paper in 1952 and amounted to 255 in 2021. With ups and downs in the annual publication growth, steady trend was seen in the growth coefficient of publications (R²=.1652). The first to third ranks in publishing countries belonged to the United States with 1,783 papers (18.22%), the United Kingdom with 1,632 papers (16.68%) and Japan with 729 papers (7.45%), respectively. Among active research institutes, Cairns Hospital from Australia ranked first with publishing 284 papers, followed by the University of Queensland again from Australia with publishing 141 papers and Royal United Hospital from England with 117 published papers, respectively. Anaesthesia ranked first highly-publishing journal with 1,049 published papers, followed by Anesthesia and Analgesia with 487 published papers and Pediatric Anaesthesia with 448 published documents. Anaesthesia was the main cited source, too. The top three highly-frequent keywords were laryngeal mask airway (N=223), equipment (N=132) and airway management (N=116), respectively. Co-occurred keywords were in four subject clusters.     Conclusion: This study is the first to give a relatively comprehensive bibliometric analysis and visualization of the global research publication and a guide for researchers and research policy-makers in LMA, as a progressive medical discipline
