Abstract
The primary aim of this study was to analyze the evolving trends and key focal points in research on cellular metabolism of colorectal cancer (CRC). Relevant publications on cellular metabolism in CRC were sourced from the Science Citation Index Expanded within the Web of Science Core Collection database. Bibliometric analysis and visualization were conducted using VOSviewer (version 1.6.18) software and CiteSpace 6.1.R6 (64-bit) Basic. A comprehensive compilation of 4722 English-language publications, covering the period from January 1, 1991 to December 31, 2022, was carefully identified and included in the analysis. Among the authors, “Ogino, Shuji” contributed the most publications in this field, while “Giovannucci, E” garnered the highest number of citations. The journal “Cancer Research” ranked first in both publication volume and citations. Institutionally, “Shanghai Jiao Tong University” emerged as the top contributor in terms of published articles, while “Harvard University” led in citation impact. In country-based analysis, the United States held the top position in both publication output and citations, closely followed by China. The increasing recognition of the significance of cellular metabolism in CRC underscores its potential for novel therapeutic approaches aimed at improving CRC management and prognosis.
Core Tip: Cellular metabolism encompasses intricate mechanisms that significantly contribute to the development of colorectal cancer. This study employs an advanced bibliometric approach to explore the evolving paradigms and prominent research areas within cellular metabolism research, particularly in the context of colorectal cancer. The findings aim to offer insights and directions for future research in this field.
