Sporotrichosis Research Literature Bibliometric Analysis, 1975–2024

A bibliometric analysis of 1,299 research records on sporotrichosis from PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, covering the period from 1975 to 2024. The dataset was created by Donglin Yuan and includes publication trends, author and journal influence, and topic modeling results. It was last updated on 2026-04-20.

Use Cases

• Identify key authors and institutions in sporotrichosis research based on citation and publication analysis.
• Analyze shifts in research focus over time based on the described evolution from epidemiology to treatment and drug development.
• Explore potential research gaps and conceptual associations using the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling results mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Includes 1,299 bibliographic records from three major databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science).
• Covers a 49-year time range from 1975 to 2024, allowing for longitudinal trend analysis.
• Analysis includes topic modeling via LDA, identifying five major research directions.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the source literature, with Brazil noted as a leading contributor.
