🤖 AI Summary
This study addresses the lack of scientometric analyses on coronary artery disease (CAD) research in Russia. Using bibliometric mapping, it systematically examines academic output, collaboration networks, and impact evolution of Russian CAD research from 1990 to 2019, based on 5,058 articles indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection (SCI). Descriptive and network analyses reveal sustained growth in publication volume, yet heavy reliance on domestic journals; a shift toward multi-author collaborations and increasing centralization of co-authorship networks; low concentration of high-productivity authors and institutions; and dominance of original articles and reviews. Notably, inter-institutional collaboration remains underdeveloped. As the first scientometric investigation of cardiovascular research in the Russian-language scholarly domain, this work fills a critical gap in the literature and provides empirical evidence to inform strategic resource allocation and international research cooperation.
📝 Abstract
The present study attempts to highlight the research output generated in Russia in coronary artery disease (CAD) research during the period 1990-2019 to understand the distribution of research output, top journals for publications, and most prolific authors, authorship pattern, and citation pattern. This study is based on secondary data extracted from the Science Citation Index (SCI), which is an integral component of the Web of Science. Descriptive and inferential statistical techniques were applied in the study. There were 5058 articles by Russian scholars in coronary artery disease during 1990-2019; they preferred to publish in Russian journals. The research contributions were in the form of research articles, meeting abstracts and reviews with a consistent drop in the number of editorial material and article; proceedings paper with time. Co-authorship was the norm in coronary artery disease research, with a steady increase in the number of multi-author documents in recent years.
