Abstract
Japanese Encephalitis (JE) represents India’s critical public health issue, contributing significantly to regional morbidity and mortality. This study details the findings from a scientometric analysis of JE research conducted in India. Our study analyzed scientific publications to uncover trends, key contributors, gaps, and the thematic evolution within JE research, providing insights critical for shaping future research and policy directions. A comprehensive scientometric analysis of research on JE published in India has been conducted to analyze leading authors, institutions, publishers, and research trends over time. Our scientometric analysis utilized comprehensive data from the Web of Science and 463 articles downloaded. Indian Journal of Medical Research and Journal of Vector-Borne Diseases have the highest number of published articles. The All-India Institute of Medical Sciences had the maximum number of publications. Kalita, Jayantee Misra, and Usha Kant were the leading authors of publications about leukemia research in India. Keyword analysis revealed that Viruses, infections, diagnoses, children, and cells were the main research hotspots in all publications in the area. Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and The Department of Biotechnology (DBT) were the major funders in the JE research publications in India. This study provides a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and public health authorities combating JE by providing a holistic view of the JE research trajectory and its practical implications.
Keywords: India, insights into JE, Japanese encephalitis, JE, JE’s epidemiology, meta-analysis, scientometric analysis
