摘要
Objective: To generate the knowledge structure, emerging trends and frontier field from researches of female reproductive medicine by bibliometric analysis. Methods: Web of Science was used as the literature search engine. CiteSpace and VOSviewer were used to construct the knowledge map. Important countries were analyzed. Common key word and co-citation were used for analysis process. Results: A total of 19 759 bibliographic records were retrieved on the data source of Web of Science between 2009 and 2018 based on a topic search in titles, abstracts or indexing terms. Annual publication was from 1600 to 2000. The United States, China and France were the top countries that had published the most amount of papers with 6451 (32.65%), 1376 (6.96%), and 1072 (5.43%) papers respectively. The United States and its institutions played an important role both in number and influence of literatures, and a closer cooperation network has formed between the United States and European countries. American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Fertility and Sterility, and Obstetrics and Gynecology were the top-3 most important journals in female reproductive medicine. Etiology of endometriosis, gynecology cancer treatment, polycystic ovary syndrome diagnosis, fertility preservation, and assisted reproductive technology were the main topics in the field of reproductive medicine. In recent years, obesity-related reproductive endocrine disorders, prenatal diagnosis, infertility treatment, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy of gynecology cancer were becoming the hotspots. Conclusion: New concept and technological innovations in neoadjuvant chemotherapy and preimplantation genetic diagnosis are still hot topics in recent future. Multidisciplinary and multisectoral cooperation, such as further application of medical engineering and biotechnology in treatment of gynecological diseases, is important in further, as well as clinical practice or guidelines improvement through evidence-based research.
