Bibliometric and visualized mapping: two decades of lipidomics, with special focus on pregancy and women

Abstract

AbstractTo perform a bibliometric visualization in lipidomics-related research with two decades. The primary data was retrieved from the Web of Science, three sotwares (VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and R) provided an overview of this field. The countries, institutions, authors, key terms, and keywords were tracked and corresponding mapping was generated. From January 1st in 2001 to March 21th in 2022, 45,325 authors from 234 organizations in 101 countries published 7,338 publications in 382 journals were found.Journal of Lipid Researchwas the most productive (284 publications) and highly cited journal (18,293 citations). We clustered four keywords themes. The niche theme were shotgun lipidomics, tandem mass-spectrometry, and electrospray-ionization. The motor theme were expression, diseases, and inflammation. The emerging or decling theme were identification, mass-spectrometry, and fatty acids.The basic theme were metabolism, cell, and plasma. Though eight categories the lipid were classified, the keywords showed two of which were got more attention for research, fatty acyls and glycerophospholipids. The top 3 lipidomics-favoured diseases were insulin resistance, obesity, and Alzheimer’s disease. The top 3 lipidomics-favoured tissue was plasma, brain, and adipose tissue. Burst citations show “women” and “pregnancy” with the strength of 8.91 and 7.1, both topics may be a potential hotspot in the future.
