Table 2_A bibliometric and text-mining analysis of lipidomics and metabolomics in human di

9,628 scientific articles on lipidomics and metabolomics from 2004 to 2024, harmonized and analyzed by Alejandro I. Trejo-Castro. The dataset was created using Bibliometrix, Scimago Graphica, OpenRefine, and custom R scripts, with data sourced from Scopus and validated against Web of Science and PubMed. It captures the field's evolution, including key journals, authors, countries, and thematic trends.

Use Cases

• Analyze publication trends and growth rates based on the 32.6% annual growth rate 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 lipidomics/metabolomics research based on the reported global output rankings
• Trace the methodological evolution of the field based on the analysis of analytical techniques like LC-MS and GC-MS

Strengths

• Contains data from 9,628 articles, providing a substantial basis for analysis
• Covers a 20-year time range from 2004 to 2024, allowing for longitudinal trend analysis
