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.
