A Bibliometric Review of Research Trends in Neuroimaging

Neuroimaging is one of the important medical imaging domains that help diagnose and manage diseases. This study describes the neuroimaging publication outputs sorted by journals, countries, authors and institutions, and evaluates journal performance using metrics based on publication data from 2003 to 2014 indexed in the Web of Science and Journal Citation Reports. There has been a significant growth in the neuroimaging literature with North America and Europe being the main contributors. Magnetic resonance imaging is the most popular imaging modality, and brain connectivity is one of the hotspots. Top journals within the field have improved performances over the study period.
