ALS Immunotherapy Research Trends and Collaboration Networks, 2006–2025

A bibliometric analysis of 2,256 publications on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis immunotherapeutics, indexed in Web of Science and Scopus. The dataset was created by Ming Zhang and last updated in May 2026. It tracks publication output, thematic shifts, and collaboration patterns over a 20-year period.

Use Cases

• Analyze publication growth and research phases based on the 8.4-fold increase in output over the study period.
• Map thematic evolution in ALS research based on the described shift from microglial biology to the gut-brain axis and C9orf72.
• Evaluate translational readiness of therapeutic strategies based on the analysis of regulatory T cell and microglial-targeted approaches.
• Assess collaboration efficiency based on the described regional networks and limited integration between research groups and clinical consortia.

Strengths

• Analyzes a substantial corpus of 2,256 publications.
• Covers a defined 20-year time range from 2006 to 2025.
• Uses multiple analytical tools mentioned in the description, including CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and R-Bibliometrix.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect source bias inherent to the Web of Science and Scopus indexing databases.
