A bibliometric analysis of progress and trends in pediatric glioma research

This bibliometric study analyzes 4,861 publications on pediatric gliomas (PGs) from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) to map the field’s 60-year research trajectory. Despite recent scientific advances, the analysis of long-term trends, interdisciplinary dynamics, and comprehensive collaboration networks is still insufficient. USA leads in output, with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital as the top institution and Childs Nervous System as the dominant journal. Pioneering authors including Bouffet Eric, Gutmann David H., Packer Roger, and Grill Jacques established foundational work guiding subsequent research. Keyword analysis identifies “Glioma” and “Children” as central themes. This study integrates the constantly evolving research frontiers and provides important insights for scholars’ future research.
