Analysis of peripheral stem cell mobilization research progress (2000-2023) based on bibliometric data

Peripheral stem cell mobilization is a key process in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), enabling efficient stem cell collection from peripheral blood. This bibliometric study provides a comprehensive analysis of research trends, major publications, and emerging themes in this field.

In this study, bibliographic research on peripheral stem cell mobilization was carried out on peripheral stem cell mobilization using the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database. Data was gathered from the Science Citation Index Expanded and Emerging Sources Citation Index databases. Bibliometrics was used to evaluate trends in the scientific literature. The study used the Bibliometrix R package for quantitative sociometric research, enabling seamless data extraction and analysis of scholarly literature interconnectedness and trends.

The analysis of 293 publications from 2000 to 2023 shows a declining growth trend. There were 19.63 citations per article. Collaborative efforts involve 2176 authors, with an average of 8.74 co-authors per document and a 10.58 % international co-authorship rate. The United States leads in annual article output, while Europe and Asia contribute prominently. Notable journals include "Bone Marrow Transplantation" and "Transfusion and Apheresis Science." Keyword analysis highlights key themes in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation research. Top cited articles and detailed citation impact analysis provide insights into global scientific production, trends, and collaborative dynamics.

This bibliometric article provides a comprehensive overview of peripheral stem cell mobilization research, offering valuable insights for researchers and clinicians in advancing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and related therapies.
