The purpose of the current study was to perform a comprehensive overview of the research on the pineal gland through bibliometric methods to determine the trends and rare topics related to the gland. Methods: The Web of Science database was used to identify the publications associated with the gland. The literature review exposed a total of 8719 publications. The identified publications were analyzed using the bibliometric approaches (VOSviewer Version 1.6.13). Results: The first studies on the pineal gland were in the 1970s. The most prolific country is the United States (2451). It was seen that most of the articles were published in Journal of Pineal Research. The majority of publications (97.09%) were written in English. The most prolific author is Reiter, Russel J. Moreover, the most prolific institute is the Centre National De La Recherche Scientifique (France). The most popular keywords in the articles were pineal gland, melatonin, circadian rhythm, rat, retina, photoperiod, circadian, aging, serotonin, oxidative stress, and brain. Conclusion: The results indicated the researchers’ interest in the gland and provided quantitative data about the place of the gland in the scientific area. Studies on this subject have tended to increase in recent years. As far as we know, this research is the first bibliometric study to provide a comprehensive analysis of scientific publications with an emphasis on the pineal gland since 1976.Article Bibliometric Analysis of Publications on Stapedius Muscle(Pera Yayincilik Hizmetleri, 2024) Sever, Sinem Nur; Sen, Esra; Turhan, BegümhanObjective: The clinical importance of the stapedius muscle has been particularly emphasized in several publications. The purpose of this study is to bibliometrically analyze all publications on the stapedius muscle and to determine research trends related to this muscle. Methods: The publications related to the stapedius muscle were identified by the Web of Science database. A total of 548 publications were discovered throughout the literature review. Bibliometric techniques were employed to analyze the identified publications (VOSviewer Version 1.6.13). Results: The first studies were conducted in the 1980s. The highest number of publications related to the stapedius muscle was in 2020 (22 studies), while the lowest was in 1985 (2 studies). Most of the publications (90.11%) were written in English. The USA was the most prolific nation, with John J. Guinan having written the most articles on the stapedius muscle. Harvard University was also the most prolific institution. Conclusion: The findings demonstrated the researchers’ interest in the stapedius muscle and offered quantifiable information regarding the muscle’s position within the scientific domain. Recent years have seen an increase in studies on this topic. To the best of our knowledge, it can be said that this study is the first bibliometric analysis on the stapedius muscle.
