Résumé
Background: The purpose of this study is to provide a report on scientificproduction during the period 2010–2014 in order to identify the major topics as wellas the predominant actors (journals, countries, continents) involved in the field ofeye disease. Methods: A PubMed search was carried out to extract articles related toeye diseases during the period 2010–2014. Data were downloaded and processedthrough developed PHP scripts for further analysis. Results: A total of 62,123 articleswere retrieved. A total of 3,368 different journals were found, and 19 journals wereidentified as “core journals” according to Braford’s law. English was by far thepredominant language. A total of 853,182 MeSH terms were found, representing anaverage of 13.73 (SD = 4.98) MeSH terms per article. Among these 853,182 MeSHterms, 14,689 different MeSH terms were identified. Vision Disorders, Glaucoma,Diabetic Retinopathy, Macular Degeneration, and Cataract were the most frequentfive MeSH terms related to eye diseases. The analysis of the total number ofpublications showed that Europe and Asia were the most productive continents, andthe USA and China the most productive countries. Interestingly, using the meanFive-Year Impact Factor, the two most productive continents were North Americaand Oceania. After adjustment for population, the overall ranking positions changedin favor of smaller countries (i.e. Iceland, Switzerland, Denmark, and New Zealand),while after adjustment for Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the overall rankingpositions changed in favor of some developing countries (Malawi, Guatemala,Singapore). Conclusions: Due to the large number of articles included and thenumerous parameters analyzed, this study provides a wide view of scientificproductivity related to eye diseases during the period 2010–2014 and allows us tobetter understand this field.
