Introduction

This was the first bibliometric study to investigate the functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) literature on chemosensory perception to reveal who contributed to these publications, where they were published, what concepts were investigated, and their relative impact in terms of citations.

Methods

Web of Science was searched to identify relevant articles. Research areas, authors, contributing countries and territories, journals, and publication years were recorded. The full record and cited references of these articles were used for further bibliometric analyses and network visualization.

Results

The search yielded 5200 unique authors who had contributed to 1660 articles. The authors in the co-authorship network generally had higher numbers of citations per article than those in the periphery did. The 1660 articles were published in 423 journals, and the distribution did not fulfill Bradford’s law. Articles with contributions from European countries and the USA appeared to have more citations on average relative to those from Asian countries.

Conclusions

The contributions came from a diverse spectrum of authors who had published in journals in multiple disciplines. Papers involving the insula, orbitofrontal cortex, and amygdala had accumulated high numbers of total citations. The hedonic aspect of chemosensory perception in particular had received many citations.

Implications

The fMRI literature on chemosensory perception provides substantial neurobiological findings from multiple authors, countries, and journals. These results offer a contemporary overview of the literature and facilitate researchers in identifying relevant papers for future references.

关于化学感觉的功能磁共振成像文献的文献计量学研究（1995–2017）

介绍

这是第一项对功能性磁共振（fMRI）文献进行化学感应知觉的文献计量研究，以揭示谁对这些出版物做出了贡献，在何处发表，研究了哪些概念以及它们在引用方面的相对影响。

方法

搜索Web of Science以确定相关文章。记录研究领域，作者，撰稿国家和地区，期刊和出版年份。这些文章的完整记录和引用的参考文献用于进一步的文献计量分析和网络可视化。

结果

搜索产生了5200位独特的作者，他们为1660篇文章做出了贡献。共同作者网络中的作者通常每篇文章的引用次数高于外围文章。1660篇文章发表在423种期刊上，其发行不符合布拉德福德定律。相较于亚洲国家，来自欧洲国家和美国的文章平均被引用次数更多。

结论

这些贡献来自在多个学科的期刊上发表过论文的众多作者。涉及绝缘体，眶额皮质和杏仁核的论文被引用的次数很多。化学感觉知觉的享乐主义方面尤其受到了很多引用。

含义

有关化学感觉感知的fMRI文献提供了来自多个作者，国家和期刊的大量神经生物学发现。这些结果提供了当代文献综述，并有助于研究人员确定相关论文以供将来参考。
