Abstract
ABSTRACT
The current study intends to examine trends in authorship patterns and collaborative research in the field of encephalitis. The PubMed database was used as the primary source of data for the study, which considered 19638 papers on encephalitis published between 2013 and 2022.The study investigates several types of collaboration and collaboration measurements such as the Degree of Collaboration, the Collaborative Index, the collaborative coefficient and modified coefficient, and the authorship pattern. According to the study's findings, the year-by-year distribution depicts how scientific production develops year by year, with the highest production in 2021 (14.42%) and the lowest production in 2018 (7.99%).In the topic of Encephalitis, collaborative authorship accounts for over 90% (18708), whereas single-author publication accounts for only 4.74% (930).It has been observed that collaborative research is on the rise in this subject. During the study period from 2013 to 2016, the degree of collaboration ranged from 0.92 to1.01, with an average of 0.97. The average index is now 5.97, up from 5.63 to 6.27. The collaborative and modified coefficients grew from 0.72 to 0.75, resulting in an average CC of 0.75. Finally, the research suggests that collaboration is on the rise in the field of encephalitis.
