Read more about the study: The purpose of the study was to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the dental informatics literature from 2001 to 2020 and to examine how the subject area has changed over the years. The research team examined how many articles were published, which authors and institutions contributed the most, which journals published the most, and how prevalent was collaboration among authors and institutions in dental informatics research during the 20-year period. The findings indicate that the number of publications is much smaller compared to other subfields of health informatics. Three key authors and institutions contributed a large portion of the literature with collaboration among authors and institutions at the top level of productivity. The topic of dental informatics does not have a major presence in journals outside dentistry, and dental informatics authors cite key health informatics and medical journals which seems to indicate that there is an awareness of informatics developments.
In addition to the bibliometric analysis study, the research team will describe their latest project on automated keyword extraction of the dental informatics literature from 2018 to 2023.
