    Authorship Trends Over the Past 30-Years in the Annals of Biomedical Engineering
    (Springer, 2019-05) Aguilar, Izath Nizeet; Ganesh, Venkateswaran; Mannfeld, Rachel; Gorden, Riley; Hatch, Jennifer M.; Lunsford, Shatoria; Whipple, Elizabeth C.; Loder, Randall T.; Kacena, Melissa A.; Orthopaedic Surgery, School of Medicine
    In academia, manuscripts serve as an important component of career development. The past several years have seen heightened evaluation of the role of the gender gap in career advancement, as well as other bibliometric changes in publications. We therefore analyzed authorship and publication trends in the Annals of Biomedical Engineering over the past three decades (one complete year of manuscripts for each decade; 1986, 1996, 2006, and 2016). The variables analyzed were number of authors per manuscript, numerical position of the corresponding author, number of collaborating institutions and countries, number of references, and number of citations per manuscript. The gender of both the first and corresponding authors was identified and analyzed over time and by region. Globally, the percentage of female first and corresponding authors significantly increased from 0% in 1986 to 28.6% (p = 0.003) and 20.4% (p = 0.0009), respectively, in 2016. Although there were significant differences regarding female first and corresponding author over time, they did not vary by region of origin (p = 0.5 and 0.2, respectively). Overall, these findings highlight the improvements made and the challenges that still exist related to publishing within the bioengineering field.

    Non-Carious Cervical Lesions: A Bibliometric Analysis and Future Research Trends
    (Elsevier, 2024-07-11) Denucci, Giovanna; Stone, Sean; Hara, Anderson
    Objective: The present bibliometric review analyzed the literature on non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) to explore the current state and propose future research topics. Data: An electronic search was performed, only full scientific papers published in English were included. Sources: A search was conducted of all databases in the Web of Science (WOS) platform for available publications on the topic of NCCLs. Study Selection: 959 publications were retrieved, and the following data were extracted and analyzed: number of publications, study topics, keywords, study type, authors, affiliations, countries, funding agencies, journals and citations. Articles on NCCLs have been increasing in count, ever since they were first mentioned in the literature. Therapy alternatives account for 628 with few on prevention, and the majority were clinical. Brazil has published the most on NCCLs as well as has the highest number of authors and the most funded articles. The three journals that published the most on the topic were Operative Dentistry, Journal of Dentistry and Clinical Oral Investigations. Conclusion: The findings of this study provide a full picture of the current literature on NCCLs, research trends, knowledge gaps, and areas requiring further investigation. Clinical Significance: By highlighting evolving treatment strategies and potential gaps in prevention, researchers can contribute to the advancement of clinical practice. This can improve patient care and outcomes in the management of NCCLs, while also providing valuable insights for policymakers to prioritize research funding and policy initiatives.

    Progress and challenges of network meta-analysis
    (Wiley, 2021) Tian, Jinhui; Gao, Ya; Zhang, Junhua; Yang, Zhirong; Dong, Shengjie; Zhang, Tiansong; Sun, Feng; Wu, Shanshan; Wu, Jiarui; Wang, Junfeng; Yao, Liang; Ge, Long; Li, Lun; Shi, Chunhu; Wang, Quan; Li, Jiang; Zhao, Ye; Xiao, Yue; Yang, Fengwen; Fan, Jinchun; Bao, Shisan; Song, Fujian; Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, School of Medicine
    In the past years, network meta-analysis (NMA) has been widely used among clinicians, guideline makers, and health technology assessment agencies and has played an important role in clinical decision-making and guideline development. To inform further development of NMAs, we conducted a bibliometric analysis to assess the current status of published NMA methodological studies, summarized the methodological progress of seven types of NMAs, and discussed the current challenges of NMAs.
