Scientific Publications on the Human Papillomavirus: A Worldwide and Indian Bibliometric Analysis of Research Published from 1990 to April 2023
Abstract
Introduction: Human papillomavirus (HPV)-related sexually transmitted illnesses are common in both men and women worldwide. The study’s objective was to examine the HPV research output globally and in India
using the Web of Science (WoS) database.
Methods: The term “Human Papillomavirus” was used in the title field of the WoS database to search the global and Indian research publications.
Results: There were 21,544 HPV papers available worldwide between 1990 and April 2023. There were 251 publications on HPV in 1990, 1082 in 2016, and 946 in 2022. There were 390 articles from India during the
period 1990 to April 2023. The major focal field of HPV research was oncology. Authors often used words such as human, Papillomavirus, and cancer. The leading author in the world was from Sweden, and the leading author in India was from Delhi University. The Research Libraries UK (RLUK) was the world’s leading HPV research institute, whereas, in India, it was the Indian Council of Medical Research.
Conclusion: Our analysis showed that there was a significant increase in HPV research articles both globally and in India. The metrics offered would provide researchers with additional information as they work
to advance HPV vaccination, treatment, and prevention.
Conclusion: Our analysis showed that there was a significant increase in HPV research articles both globally and for India. The metrics offered would provide researchers with additional information as they work to advance HPV vaccination, treatment, and prevention.
