Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Materials for repairing calvarial defects is a hot topic both in China and abroad, however, bibliometric analysis addressing materials for repairing calvarial defects is insufficient.
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the current status and frontier of studies addressing materials for repairing calvarial defects via analyzing relative literatures with the method of bibliometric analysis.
METHODS: Literatures addressing the materials for repairing calvarial defects in the Web of Science from 1990 to 2010 were analyzed with the method of bibliometrics. It mainly discusses materials for repairing calvarial defects in the aspects of distribution of publication years, countries, institutions, journals, citations, as well as science categories.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: From 1990 to 2010, 174 literatures on the materials for repairing calvarial defects were added to SCI. Literature is annual increased, and the United States ranks the first with 58 papers, including 8 core institutes, 2 core journals and 4 classical references. From the analysis of research dynamic and development trend, we put forward some proposes for China's in-depth research on materials for repairing calvarial defects.
