Abstract

Objectives

In celebration of the journal's 50th anniversary, the aim of the study was to review the whole collection of Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology (CDOE) publications from 1973 to 2022 and provide a complete overview of the main publication characteristics.

Methods

The study used bibliometric techniques such as performance and science mapping analysis of 3428 articles extracted from the Scopus database. The data were analysed using the ‘Bibliometrix’ package in R. The journal's scientific production was examined, along with the yearly citation count, the distribution of publications based on authors, the corresponding author's country and affiliation and citation count, citing source and keywords. Bibliometric network maps were constructed to determine the conceptual, intellectual and social collaborative structure over the past 50 years. The trending research topics and themes were identified.

Results

The total number of articles and average citations has increased over the years. D Locker, AJ Spencer, A Sheiham and WM Thomson were the most frequently published authors, and PE Petersen, GD Slade and AI Ismail published papers with the highest citations. The most published countries were the United States, United Kingdom, Brazil and Canada, frequently engaging in collaborative efforts. The most common keywords used were ‘dental caries’, ‘oral epidemiology’ and ‘oral health’. The trending topics were healthcare and health disparities, social determinants of health, systematic review and health inequalities. Epidemiology, oral health and disparities were highly researched areas.

Conclusion

This bibliometric study reviews CDOE's significant contribution to dental public health by identifying key research trends, themes, influential authors and collaborations. The findings provide insights into the need to increase publications from developing countries, improve gender diversity in authorship and broaden the scope of research themes.

社区牙科和口腔流行病学的文献计量分析：50年的出版物。

目的：为了庆祝该杂志出版50周年，本研究的目的是回顾1973年至2022年社区牙科和口腔流行病学（CDOE）的全部出版物，并对主要出版物的特点进行全面概述。方法：本研究采用文献计量技术，如性能和科学图谱分析，从Scopus数据库中提取了3428篇文章。使用R中的“Bibliometrix”软件包对数据进行了分析。该杂志的科学成果，以及年度引用计数、基于作者的出版物分布、通讯作者的国家和隶属关系、引用计数、引用来源和关键词进行了检查。文献计量网络地图是为了确定过去50年的概念、智力和社会协作结构而构建的年。确定了趋势研究主题和主题。结果：多年来，文章总数和平均引用次数都有所增加。D Locker、AJ Spencer、A Sheiham和WM Thomson是发表频率最高的作者，PE Petersen、GD Slade和AI Ismail发表的论文引用率最高。出版最多的国家是美国、联合王国、巴西和加拿大，它们经常进行合作。最常见的关键词是“龋齿”、“口腔流行病学”和“口腔健康”。趋势主题是医疗保健和健康差距、健康的社会决定因素、系统审查和健康不平等。流行病学、口腔健康和差异是高度研究的领域。结论：这项文献计量研究通过确定关键的研究趋势、主题、有影响力的作者和合作，回顾了CDOE对牙科公共卫生的重大贡献。这些发现为增加发展中国家的出版物、提高作者的性别多样性和扩大研究主题范围的必要性提供了见解。

期刊介绍： The aim of Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology is to serve as a forum for scientifically based information in community dentistry, with the intention of continually expanding the knowledge base in the field. The scope is therefore broad, ranging from original studies in epidemiology, behavioral sciences related to dentistry, and health services research through to methodological reports in program planning, implementation and evaluation. Reports dealing with people of all age groups are welcome. The journal encourages manuscripts which present methodologically detailed scientific research findings from original data collection or analysis of existing databases. Preference is given to new findings. Confirmations of previous findings can be of value, but the journal seeks to avoid needless repetition. It also encourages thoughtful, provocative commentaries on subjects ranging from research methods to public policies. Purely descriptive reports are not encouraged, nor are behavioral science reports with only marginal application to dentistry. The journal is published bimonthly.
