| description | Background: Meniere disease (MD) is characterized by recurrent episodes of vertigo, accompanied by tinnitus and hearing loss. Although MD has attracted increasing research interest, the intellectual structure of MD research is not clear when combined with scientific indicators.
Objectives: This study aims to examine the structure of MD research through scientometric indicators and social network analysis (SNA).
Materials & Methods: Documents related to MD were searched in the topic search (TS) format indexed in the Scopus database from 1970 until 2023. Then, co-word, co-authorship analysis and SNA were employed to create a platform for visualizing the MD research network.
Results: The annual growth rate of MD documents is 2.92% and the average citations per doc is 16.97. The trend of the publication year was relatively upward. Otolaryngologica journal obtained the first rank in MD publications with more productivity (879 docs). The United States was the most influential country in producing and collaborating documents. Paparella MM, Nakashima T and Kitahara M were ranked 1 to 3 with 86, 83 and 81 documents, respectively. Nevertheless, Strupp M, Nakashima T and Naganawa S. received 4064, 3906 and 3870 citations in co-authorship analysis, respectively. Applying co-word analysis led to the formation of 6 clusters and “related comorbidities on the severity of MD” was well developed, had the highest occurrence of keywords, and held the most significant position in impact.
Conclusion: Tracing the research landscape in MD can help researchers identify more specific research focus within this field and provide a reference for the study of MD research in otolaryngology and head and neck surgery. |
