A Bibliometric Analysis of Autism Spectrum Disorder Signaling Pathways
Research in the Past Decade
Abstract
(1)Background: This study employs bibliometric methods to
comprehensively understand the fundamental structure of research about
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Signaling Pathways by examining key
indicators such as nations, institutions, journals, authors, and
keywords.(2) Methodology: We utilized the WoScc database to retrieve
literature relevant to ASD Signaling Pathways. Through visual analysis
and tools like CiteSpace and VosViewer, we explored nations,
institutions, journals, authors, and keywords, thereby constructing
relevant networks.(3) Results: The study encompasses 1396 articles,
revealing a consistent increase in publications. The United States,
China, and Germany are leading nations in this literature. Regarding
research institutions, the University of California system and Eric
Klann have garnered significant attention due to their substantial
contributions to the field of ASD Signaling Pathways. Most relevant
research is published in the journal “Molecular Autism.” Research
interests are concentrated across various themes, including “elevating
neuronal β-catenin levels,” “Tunisian children,” “FMR1 gene knockout
mice,” “de novo mutations,” “autistic children,” “local
translation,” “propionic acid-induced mouse models,”
“neurosystems,” “glucose metabolism,” and “neuronal migration.”
Future research may emphasize exploring aspects such as gut microbiota,
genes, stress, maternal immune activation, memory, and
neurodevelopmental disorders of ASD.(4) Conclusion: This study, through
bibliometric analysis of key indicators such as nations, institutions,
journals, authors, and keywords, provides a comprehensive overview of
the current state of research on ASD Signaling Pathways.
