Abstract

Objective

This study used bibliometric methodologies to explore the body of research presented at the World Workshop on Oral Medicine (WWOM) over the past 35 years.

Methods

A systematic tracking of articles across 8 editions of WWOM was conducted using databases such as Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed. Comprehensive bibliographic analysis and data visualization were executed through Bibliometrix, Rstudio, and VOSviewer, facilitating an in-depth examination of citation metrics and collaborative networks.

Results

The investigation revealed that WWOM, held in 6 cities spanning 4 countries and addressing 33 distinct topics, has demonstrated an annual citation growth rate of 8.29%, with an average of 49.31 citations per article. Notably, WWOM IV garnered the highest number of citations (1,342), reaching its peak in 2021 with 365 citations. Key contributors to the most-cited articles included Al-Hashimi, Dawes, and Syrjänen et al. Since its inception, the workshops have engaged 505 faculty members from 37 nations, with significant participation from the Americas and Europe, notably the United States and the United Kingdom, which also led in terms of publications. Network analysis delineated 6 country clusters, underscoring robust connections between the United States and the United Kingdom. Co-authorship analysis revealed 18 clusters involving 267 authors.

Conclusion

The influence of the WWOM on the field of oral medicine is clearly demonstrated by the outcomes of its publications, reflecting a collaborative effort to enhance comprehension and treatment modalities for patients with oral diseases. The study's findings provide insights into future research directions within the WWOM legacy.

绘制世界口腔医学研讨会的遗产：35年的全球文献计量分析

目的：本研究采用文献计量学方法对世界口腔医学研讨会（World Workshop on Oral Medicine， WWOM）过去35年的研究成果进行梳理。方法利用Web of Science、Scopus、PubMed等数据库对《世界医学文摘》8个版本的文章进行系统跟踪。通过Bibliometrix、Rstudio和VOSviewer进行了全面的书目分析和数据可视化，促进了对引文指标和协作网络的深入检查。结果调查显示，在全球4个国家的6个城市举办的世界学术论坛，涉及33个不同的主题，年引用增长率为8.29%，平均每篇文章被引用49.31次。值得注意的是，《世界末日4》的引用次数最多（1342次），在2021年达到了365次的峰值。被引用次数最多的文章的主要贡献者包括al - hashimi、Dawes和Syrjänen等人。自开办以来，讲习班吸引了来自37个国家的505名教员参加，其中美洲和欧洲，特别是美国和联合王国的大量参与，在出版物方面也处于领先地位。网络分析划分了6个国家集群，强调了美国和英国之间的强大联系。共同作者分析显示了18个集群，涉及267名作者。结论世界口腔医学协会对口腔医学领域的影响在其出版物的成果中得到了清楚的体现，反映了对口腔疾病患者的理解和治疗方式的合作努力。该研究的发现为WWOM遗产的未来研究方向提供了见解。
