Description
Summary:The aim of this study is to perform a bibliometric and demographic analysis of the 10 most productive researchers over the past 7 years in relation to the selection of key topics in andrology. We conducted a bibliometric analysis in December 2023, using Scopus Researcher Discovery. Seven major andrological topics were identified: erectile dysfunction (T1), premature ejaculation (T2), male infertility (T3), Peyronie’s disease (T4), male hypogonadism (T5), priapism (T6), and low sexual desire (T7). A total of 10 researchers per topic were identified (51 unique authors). Most were urologists (65%) or endocrinologists (23%). Most authors belonged to centers in the USA (35.7%) and Italy (32.9%). The majority of authors were male (77.1%) and over 40 years old (83.3% of authors of known age). The mean (standard deviation (SD)) H-index of the 10 top researchers was 42.6 (24.6), ranging from 6 to 119. Male infertility was the topic with the most articles (1110) written by the top 10 researchers and the most cited (20,585). Erectile dysfunction was the second topic for articles (678) and third for citations after male hypogonadism (6046 vs. 11,384). The mean (SD) impact factor of the journals in which the andrological articles were published varied from 3.5 (0.53) for premature ejaculation to 5.33 (1.85) for hypogonadism.
