Abstract:
Objective:To explore the research hotspots in the field of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and analyze the development and shortcomings of this research field in China from 2018 to 2023 by comparing the quantity, quality, and research hotspot of published literature in China and all around the world.Methods:The Web of Science core collection database was searched from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2023. VOSviewer software was used for visual and quantitative analysis of keywords co-occurrence.Results:A total of 24 543 articles were included, of which the number of publications in China increased steadily, from 11.0% in 2018 to 26.4% in 2023, ranking the second in the world. However, the average impact factor of published journals in China is relatively low. The top ten institutions with the largest number of publications are all from Europe and the United States, and the most prolific institution in China is Sun Yat-sen University. The key words in the global literature mainly focused on four areas, including mechanism and epidemidogy research, disease management, drug therapy and quality of life, while the key words in the Chinese literature focused on 3 areas including mechanism research, disease management and epidemilogy, and intestinal microbiota with related treatment, reflecting the research hotspots of IBD research. In the past six years, Chinese scholars had published a number of high-quality research papers in these hot areas.Conclusions:IBD research in China has developed rapidly, with the number of articles ranking in the forefront of the world and the number of high-quality studies increasing. However, the overall research quality needs to be further improved.
