Background:
Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology (JOMFP) is a periodical publication and is one of the most prestigious dental specialty journals in India.
Aim:
To perform bibliometric analysis and network visualisation of articles published in the JOMFP.
Methodology:
Scopus online bibliometric search of articles published in JOMFP from 2011 (Issue 2, May-August) to 2022 (Issue 2, April-June) was performed. A total of 1385 articles out of 1453 were included for analysis. VOSviewer software was used for science mapping and network analysis of extracted data from JOMFP. Basic steps of bibliometric analysis including performance analysis, science mapping, and network analysis were performed to draw conclusions and recommendations.
Results:
The annual frequency of articles was maximum in the year 2019 with 150 articles. The most frequently appearing keywords were "oral squamous cell carcinoma" and "immunohistochemistry". The mean count of the top 10 cited articles and authors was 144.6 and 293.2, respectively.
Conclusion:
More efforts are warranted not only for increasing the volume of quality papers in JOMFP but also to enhance the collaborations between the various authors and research groups. Large volumes of laboratory and clinical-based research have been published in JOMFP from every part of India; thus, this journal truly represents the global face of Indian oral and maxillofacial pathologists.
