Top 100 cited articles on fibromyalgia syndrome: A bibliometric and altmetric analyses study

Objectives: Fibromyalgia syndrome is a global health problem. The aim of this study was to analyze the top 100 cited articles.Methods: Web of Science database was scanned for the period between 1990 and 2020 using the search term, “fibromyalgia,”and the 100 most cited articles were determined. For the bibliometric analysis, a record was made of the article title, year ofpublication, number of authors and names, number of citations, citation index, name of the journal in which it was published,impact factor, type of article, and source of funding. The altmetric attention score was recorded from the automatic softwarecalculation.Results: The total number of citations of the articles in the top 100 list varied between 203 and 6254. The majority of articleswere published in arthritis and rheumatism (n=24) and pain (n=15) journals. The country producing the most articles wasthe US and the most cited author was Russel IJ. Case–controlled studies constituted the largest part of the top 100 (n=36).When the number of citations was examined, studies evaluating classification criteria, diagnostic criteria, and epidemiologic study were at the forefront. In terms of altmetric attention score, treatment studies, especially exercise, were in thefirst orders.Conclusion: This study presents a view on the subject of the level of interest shown by the scientific world and on socialplatforms to the most cited articles on the subject of fibromyalgia. There is a need for further studies which would use morewide-scale databases and offer interactions between countries.

Fibromyalji sendromunda atıf alan top 100 makale: Bir bibliyometrik ve altmetrik analiz çalışması

Amaç: Fibromiyalji sendromu küresel bir sağlık sorunudur. Bu çalışmanın amacı atıf yapılan top 100 makaleyi analiz etmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Fibromyalji kelimesi kullanılarak, Web of Science’de 1990 ve 2020 yılları arasında en çok atıf alan top 100 makale belirlendi. Bibliometrik analiz için makale başlığı, yazar sayıları ve isimleri, atıf indeksi, dergilerin isimleri, etki faktörleri, makalelerin türleri ve fon kaynkaları belirlendi. Otomatik olarak hesap yapan bir yazılımla altmetrik skor kaydedildi. Bulgular: Top 100 listesinde total atıf sayısı 203 ile 6254 arasındaydı. Makalelerin büyük çoğunluğu Arthritis and Rheumatism (n=24) ve Pain (n=15) dergilerinde yayınlanmıştı. En çok makale üreten ülke Amerika idi ve en çok atıf alan yazar Russel IJ idi. Vaka-Kontrollu çalışmalar top 100 makalelerin büyük kısmını oluşturuyordu (n=36). Klasifikasyon kriterleri, diagnostik kriterler ile ilgili çalışmalar ve epidemiyolojik çalışmalar en çok atıf alan makalelerde ön plana çıkan konulardı. Altmetrik skor yönüyle özellikle egzersiz konusu olmak üzere tedaviye yönelik çalışmalar ön plandaydı. Sonuç: Bu çalışma, bilim dünyasının ve sosyal medya platformlarının fibromiyalji konusunda en çok atıfta bulunulan makalelere gösterdiği ilgi düzeyine bir bakış sunmaktadır. Ülkeler arasında etkileşimler sunan, daha geniş veri tabanları kullanan ileri çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
