Bibliometric and Text-Mining Analysis of Lipidomics and Metabolomics, 2004-2024

9,628 scientific articles from 2004 to 2024 were harmonized and analyzed using Bibliometrix, Scimago Graphica, OpenRefine, and custom R scripts. The dataset, created by Alejandro I. Trejo-Castro and last updated in May 2026, provides a bibliometric overview of lipidomics and metabolomics research in human diseases. It identifies productive journals, authors, countries, and thematic trends, with cross-validation from Web of Science and PubMed.

Use Cases

• Analyze publication trends and annual growth rates based on the 32.6% growth figure mentioned in the description
• Map thematic structures and keyword dynamics based on the semantic and conceptual mapping approach described
• Identify leading countries and institutions in the field based on the reported rankings of the United States, China, and European contributors
• Trace the evolution of core and emerging research topics like Alzheimer's disease and AI integration based on the described thematic analysis

Strengths

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

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for specific analytical tasks
• The 1.1 MB file size suggests the dataset is relatively small, potentially containing summary statistics rather than the full article corpus
