Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the global research hotspots in the field of pediatrics based on the Essential Science Indicators (ESI) database and explore the inspiration to domestic editors and pediatrics researchers.Methods:The journal distribution, country (region) distribution, cooperation, organization distribution, funding, publication language, hot topic words and other data of highly cited papers in the field of pediatrics in ESI database were collected and analyzed.Results:A total of 682 highly cited pediatrics papers were collected from 77 pediatrics journals included in Science Citation Index(SCI). Most of the highly cited pediatrics papers (182) were found to be published in Pediatrics.All 682 paper were published in English and frequently, characterized by multiple authors, institutions and fund support.Of 682 highly cited pediatrics papers, 435 papers were published in the United States(the first), 123 papers in England(the second) and 86 paper in Canada(the third). Novel coronavirus pneumonia, coronavirus, SARS coronavirus, autism and multiple system inflammatory syndrome are the main frontiers of global pediatric research at present.Specifically, focal pediatric system diseases mainly include respiratory system diseases, digestive system diseases, cardiovascular diseases, etc. Conclusions:ESI-based analysis of global research hotspots in the field of pediatrics provides reference materials for domestic and foreign pediatrics researchers to understand the global academic frontiers and development trends in the field of pediatrics and select topics for future scientific research.More importantly, this analysis can help domestic editors of pediatrics journals to plan topics and organize hot papers, so as to improve the academic quality and international influence of the journals.
