A Scientometric Analysis of Neuroendocrine Tumor Research: Trends and Impact in Three Specialized Journals

Author(s): Deepika N and Dr. R Sarangapani

Abstract:

This scientometric study examines the growth dynamics, publication trends, and editorial features of three prominent journals in the field of neuroendocrinology during a 25-year span (2000-2024): Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Neuroendocrinology, and Neuroendocrinology Letters. These journals published 11,836 papers in total, with research production steadily rising and reaching its highest point in 2018. Although the Journal of Neuroendocrinology had the most steady and constant growth, with the highest average Relative Growth Rate (RGR=0.0354) and Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR=3.75%), Neuroendocrinology accounted for the most number of articles (40.8%). Block-wise analysis showed that journal dominance changed with time, with the most recent era (2000-2024) seeing the Journal of Neuroendocrinology overtake Nueroendocrinology Letters, which was in the lead in the early 2000s. Particulalry in Neuroendocrinology, authorship and document type trends reflect changing editorial norms and a rise in collaborative research. Further demonstrating the worldwide distribution of research is the preponderance of English-language publications. Overall, this study shows that the Journal of Neuroendocrinology is the most prominent and rapidly expanding platform in the field, while Neuroendocrinology Letters’ production has been steadily declining.
