Abstract: (229 Views)
Background and Aim: Evaluating our scientific trend and patterns in the education of neurosurgery can benefit in determining the needs and the future of the research path, therefore we performed a bibliometric analysis in the Web of Science dataset.
Methods and Materials/Patients: This was a bibliometric study of literature for studies on neurosurgery education. The Web of Science (WoS) database was used for this study. The collected dataset was entered into the R shiny package of bibliometrics and was used for data analysis. Annual scientific production, citations, journals, and affiliation patterns were evaluated. Bradford's and Lotka's laws were used to interpret the patterns of contributions. Reference publication year spectroscopy (RPYS) was used to find source articles of literature.
Results: From 1962 to 2023, 1740 articles from 266 journals were included in this study. The annual growth rate of publishing neurosurgery education studies was 8.16%. "World neurosurgery" and "neurosurgery” journals with 441 articles (25.34%) were in zone 1 based on Bradford's law, showing inequality in publishers of neurosurgery education studies. Also, Lotka's law showed author productivity inequality, with most authors (approximately 75.5%) having only contributed a single article, while an Indian researcher has authored 28 articles as well as some other researchers with more than 20 articles. The USA led the way with 775 articles. Historical origins of research stemmed from studies about the virtual model of the temporal bone, the depiction of neurosurgery in cinematic genres, and a realistic neurosurgical simulator. Seminal neurosurgery education research has focused on anatomy education using imaging methods, informing later developments in simulated learning approaches. Based on the reference publication year spectroscopy (RPYS), seminal neurosurgery education research has focused on anatomy education like using imaging methods, which has contributed to later developments in simulated learning.
Conclusion: Bibliometric analysis of neurosurgery education literature reveals increasing annual production, inequality in publishing, and author productivity, identified with the USA's leading contributions and diverse research origins.
