Purpose:
There is an abundance of articles published on low-grade glioma. The aim of this study was to identify and review the 50 most-cited articles on low-grade glioma, and to perform a bibliometric analysis.
Methods:
In June 2017, we performed a basic search of the Web of Science database using "low-grade glioma management and/or treatment" as our search terms without publication date restrictions. The top 50 most-cited articles were obtained and reviewed.
Results:
The top 50 most-cited articles received a mean 195 citations per paper, with 571 citations being the most and 81 citations being the least. Publication dates ranged from 1992 to 2013. The articles were published in 17 journals and Journal of Neurosurgery published the greatest number of articles (10 of 50), followed by Journal of Clinical Oncology (9 of 50). The most frequent study categories were natural history studies (19 of 50) and laboratory studies (13 of 50). Neurosurgery as a specialty contributed to 22 articles. The majority of the articles originated in the United States (44%).
Conclusion:
We identified the top 50 most-cited articles on low-grade glioma and the level of knowledge about this topic has been increased.
