Abstract:

Objective To reveal the development and evolution pathway of global neglected tropical diseases（NTDs）from the bibliometrics and information visualization perspective. Methods The research publications on the subject of NTDs from Web of Science，PubMed and PLoS NTD were retrieved and analyzed by using the bibliometrics analysis，visualization analysis and cita? tion strategic diagrams. Results The number of publications on the subject of NTDs from 2005 to 2013 had being growing gradu? ally year by year，but there were some differences from disease to disease. The distribution of the authors，organizations and coun? tries of the publications could be classified into two clusters，one was represented by US and UK and the other was represented by Switzerland and China. The research subjects of the publications contained epidemiology，laboratory and social economics based on population and animals. Six key and hot topics were revealed as follows：the disease burden；incorporating the control of NTDs into the programs of HIV/AIDS，tuberculosis，and malaria；comprehensive control strategies and their influence factors；human chemotherapy and its influence factors；vaccine；research and development innovation. Conclusion The NTDs research in the globe is on its developing way with both challenges and opportunities，more concerns and investments，as well as the cooperations among different countries， organizations and disciplines are needed.

摘要：

目的 目的 从文献计量学及信息可视化角度， 分析全球关于被忽视的热带病 （NTDs） 研究领域的发展状况及演进过程。方法 方法 对Web of Science、 PubMed以及PLoS NTD杂志所刊载的NTDs相关文献进行分析， 并绘制可视化图谱及关键文献引文战略坐标。结果 结果 2005-2013年， NTDs相关文献发表量呈逐年递增趋势， 但各类疾病的发文量存在差异。文献作者、 机构和国家分布存在以美国和英国以及瑞士和中国为代表的两个聚类。研究对象包括 “人群” 和 “动物”， 涉及流行病学、 实验室、 社会经济等多门学科。疾病的经济负担， 将NTDs防治纳入HIV/AIDS、 结核、 疟疾的防治规划中， 综合性防治策略及其影响因素， 人群化疗的疗效及影响因素， 疫苗研究， 研发创新议程为该领域六大关键和热点研究主题。结论 结论 NTDs 研究处在不断发展的过程中， 面临很多机遇和挑战， 需要得到更多的关注和投入， 以及各国、 各部门、 各学科之间的相互合作。
