Bibliometric Analysis of Lipidomics and Metabolomics in Human Disease, 2004-2024

9,628 scientific articles from 2004 to 2024 were harmonized and analyzed using Bibliometrix, Scimago Graphica, OpenRefine, and custom R scripts. The analysis, conducted by Alejandro I. Trejo-Castro, identifies productive journals, authors, countries, and thematic structures in lipidomics and metabolomics research. The field shows rapid expansion with an annual growth rate of 32.6%.

Use Cases

• Analyze publication trends and growth rates in lipidomics and metabolomics based on the described 20-year time series.
• Map thematic structures and keyword dynamics in biomedical literature based on the semantic and conceptual mapping approach described.
• Identify leading countries, institutions, and authors in the field based on the bibliometric indicators calculated.
• Study the evolution of analytical methodologies and emerging topics like AI and multi-omics integration based on the keyword analysis.

Strengths

• Analysis is based on 9,628 harmonized articles, providing a substantial corpus.
• Data was validated through a multi-database comparative approach using Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed.
• The study covers a 20-year time range from 2004 to 2024, allowing for longitudinal trend analysis.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 692.8 KB DOCX file, which is a small document rather than a large structured data repository.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the document text after download.
• The underlying raw article data is not directly provided, only the analysis results.
