This bibliometric analysis of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) research highlights key articles and identifies a significant underrepresentation compared to male sexual disorders. The findings aim to guide future research and education efforts in FSD.
Area of Science:
- Reproductive Medicine
- Urology
- Psychology
Background:
- Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) encompasses low libido, arousal issues, anorgasmia, and dyspareunia, impacting women's well-being.
- FSD research is underrepresented academically compared to male sexual disorders.
- Bibliometric analysis is crucial for understanding FSD's academic landscape.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify seminal articles on FSD using citation counts and bibliometric analysis.
- To guide and stimulate future scholarly endeavors in FSD research.
Main Methods:
- Searched Web of Science Core Collection (1900-2023) for FSD-related terms.
- Identified and analyzed the top 50 most cited articles.
- Collected data on publication details, authorship, citations, journals, countries, institutions, study types, and specialties.
Main Results:
- 6858 FSD articles identified; top 50 published 1997-2014.
- United States led publications; The Journal of Sexual Medicine published most.
- Mean citations: 351.64; observational studies most common; urology/nephrology specialties dominated.
Conclusions:
- Bibliometric analysis is vital for navigating the multidisciplinary FSD knowledge base.
- This study underscores FSD's underrepresentation and aims to inform healthcare professionals.
- Findings provide a roadmap for future FSD education and research trajectory.
