Bibliometric Analysis of Gut Microbiota and Ankylosing Spondylitis Research Trends

A bibliometric analysis of research on gut microbiota and ankylosing spondylitis, authored by Zhe Liu and published under a CC-BY-4.0 license on figshare. The document analyzes publication trends, collaboration networks, and keyword clusters from studies retrieved from WOSCC, Scopus, and PubMed. It was last updated on 2026-05-13.

Use Cases

• Identify major research themes and emerging hotspots based on keyword cluster analysis described in the methods.
• Analyze collaboration patterns among researchers in the field based on the described network analysis.
• Track the evolution of research focus from descriptive profiling to mechanistic investigation as noted in the results.
• Explore the role of microbial metabolites and inflammatory pathways highlighted in the core research themes.

Strengths

• Analysis is based on studies from three major bibliographic databases: WOSCC, Scopus, and PubMed.
• The document is published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, allowing for reuse.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 16.6 KB DOCX file, indicating a very limited textual scope rather than a primary data collection.
