The top 100 most-cited papers in long non-coding RNAs: a bibliometric study

Area of Science:

• Molecular Biology
• Genomics
• Biochemistry

Background:

• Long-noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcribed from up to 90% of the human genome and play crucial roles in biological processes.
• Dysregulation and mutations in lncRNAs are implicated in the development and progression of complex human diseases.
• The rapidly expanding research in lncRNAs necessitates quantitative analysis of existing studies.

Purpose of the Study:

• To conduct a bibliometric analysis of the top 100 most-cited papers in the field of lncRNAs.
• To identify leading authors, journals, countries, and institutions contributing to lncRNAs research.
• To characterize keywords, research focus, and factors influencing citation success in influential lncRNAs publications.

Main Methods:

• Bibliometric analysis of the top 100 most-cited papers on lncRNAs.
• Identification and analysis of publication metrics including authors, institutions, countries, and journals.
• Keyword and thematic analysis of the selected high-impact lncRNAs research.

Main Results:

• Identification of the most prolific authors, institutions, and countries in lncRNAs research.
• Characterization of the core research themes and emerging trends within the top cited lncRNAs papers.
• Insights into the factors contributing to the high citation counts of seminal lncRNAs studies.

Conclusions:

• This study provides a comprehensive overview of the most influential lncRNAs research.
• It highlights significant advances and key players in the field, offering valuable guidance for researchers.
• The findings can assist researchers in strategic publication and collaboration to maximize research impact in lncRNAs.
