Analysis of frontiers and hotspots of oral leukoplakia research
Objective To analyze the frontiers and hot spots of oral leukoplakia(OL)research.Methods The core collection of Web of Science databases was searched by computer for the period January 1,1995 to December 31,2021.A bibliometric analysis was performed using CiteSpace software.Results There has been a consistent increase in the number of published studies associated with OL,and related research has received increasing support and attention from the entire community.When analyzed in the country dimension,the United States is the country with the highest number of publications;Among research institutions,China is the country with the highest number of institutions in the top 20,and Shanghai Jiaotong University is the institution with the highest number of papers.Investigators expect to achieve breakthroughs through multidisciplinary studies because the causative factors of OL are not clear.The keyword analysis of literature,carcinoma,associated lesions and follow-up studies are the current scientific hotspots;And the analysis of keyword-based emergent intensity,potential malignant diseases,classification and developmental abnormalities are the research frontiers.Conclusion Documented visual analysis visualizes the hot spots and frontiers of OL research and provides reference for future studies.
