Abstract
Introduction: Autoimmune/Inflammatory Syndrome Induced by Adjuvants (ASIA) encompasses a spectrum of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions triggered by various adjuvants, leading to significant health challenges. This study aims to understand the research landscape and future directions of ASIA through a comprehensive bibliometric analysis.
Methods: Relevant original articles were retrieved from the Scopus database, focusing on publications from 2011 to July 2024. The analysis included evaluating countries/regions, institutions, authors, co-cited references, and keywords using VOSviewer and Biblioshiny software.
Results: The final analysis incorporated 346 documents contributed by numerous researchers from multiple institutions worldwide. Israel emerged as the leading contributor to ASIA research. The study found that while there are significant international collaborations, certain countries like Israel and Italy play central roles in these networks. Key research areas identified include autoimmunity, adjuvants, vaccines, and silicone. Notable keywords include "ASIA syndrome," "Autoimmunity," "Adjuvants," and "Silicone." The citation analysis highlighted the impactful nature of research from Israel, Italy, and Mexico. In addition, the analysis highlights the growing body of evidence that supports the role of adjuvants in triggering autoimmune responses. Over the years, there has been a significant increase in publications investigating the mechanisms by which adjuvants (such as those used in vaccines, silicone implants, and other medical applications) can activate immune responses, leading to conditions associated with ASIA syndrome.
Conclusion: The field of ASIA research is experiencing rapid growth, characterized by increasing publication activity and robust international collaborations. Future research is likely to focus on the mechanisms underlying ASIA syndrome and improving patient outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Autoimmunity Reviews is a publication that features up-to-date, structured reviews on various topics in the field of autoimmunity. These reviews are written by renowned experts and include demonstrative illustrations and tables. Each article will have a clear "take-home" message for readers.
The selection of articles is primarily done by the Editors-in-Chief, based on recommendations from the international Editorial Board. The topics covered in the articles span all areas of autoimmunology, aiming to bridge the gap between basic and clinical sciences.
In terms of content, the contributions in basic sciences delve into the pathophysiology and mechanisms of autoimmune disorders, as well as genomics and proteomics. On the other hand, clinical contributions focus on diseases related to autoimmunity, novel therapies, and clinical associations.
Autoimmunity Reviews is internationally recognized, and its articles are indexed and abstracted in prestigious databases such as PubMed/Medline, Science Citation Index Expanded, Biosciences Information Services, and Chemical Abstracts.
