Neurobiological Mechanisms of Olfactory Dysfunction: A Ten-Year Bibliometric Analysis

A bibliometric analysis of 7,915 articles on olfactory dysfunction mechanisms from the Web of Science and Scopus, published over a ten-year period. The dataset was compiled by Yuxin Zhu and includes keyword and publication trend analysis. The work was last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze research trends and hot topics based on keyword analysis of terms like 'COVID-19' and 'Parkinson's disease'
• Identify leading contributors and institutions based on publication counts for countries and authors
• Track the translational pipeline from mechanistic research to clinical interventions based on the summary of 14 included clinical trials

Strengths

• Includes 7,915 articles meeting inclusion criteria from two major databases
• Identifies the most productive country (USA with 2,635 publications), institution (University of California System with 143), and author (Thomas Hummel with 174)
• Integrates bibliometric trends with an evaluation of 14 interventional clinical trials from PubMed

Limitations

• The dataset is a 31.0 KB document, suggesting limited raw data scope
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
