Home Sleep Apnea Testing Over 25 Years: A Bibliometric Analysis of Global Research Trends

Home sleep apnea tests (HSATs) have emerged as alternatives for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We conducted a 25-year bibliometric analysis to characterize international research trends in Type 3 and 4 HSATs, focusing on publication, authorship, country of origin, HSAT type, and study design. MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Embase were searched for studies published from January 2000 to December 2025. Publications primarily evaluating Type 3 or 4 HSATs for OSA diagnosis in children or...

Journal impact factors and the structure of the nursing journal ecosystem

CONCLUSIONS: The nursing journal ecosystem has expanded substantially, with JIF-indexed journals representing only part of a broader landscape. Changes in JIFs are uneven and occur within a context of structural shifts in indexing and citation systems rather than consistent gains in quality. These findings support a systems-based perspective in which journal quality is shaped by governance, editorial capacity, and mission in addition to citation metrics.

Dissociable anterior and posterior beta-burst dynamics track thought disorder in schizophrenia

CONCLUSION: Schizophrenia is associated with dissociable anterior and posterior beta-burst abnormalities that track objective speech markers of thought disorder. These findings suggest impaired hierarchical coordination of predictive beta signalling as a candidate neurophysiological account linking intrinsic network dysfunction to disorganized thought.

Global research trends and emerging hotspots in probiotics and children's neurodevelopment: a bibliometric and visualized analysis (1998-2026, partial year)

Research on the role of probiotics in children's neurodevelopment has expanded rapidly, yet a quantitative synthesis of this interdisciplinary field is lacking. This study aimed to map global research trends, identify key contributors, and reveal emerging hotspots in the field of probiotics and children's neurodevelopment through bibliometric and visualized analysis. Publications indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection from 1998 to 2026 (partial year, search conducted on 21 May 2026) were...

The cost of reproducibility in artificial intelligence

Insufficiently documented publications can make independent reproduction an unnecessarily laborious task. We define the cost of reproducibility as the resources required to reproduce the findings of a study and we propose five dimensions of cost, using objective characteristics such as code and data. We review 918 publications between 2022 and 2024 at top AI venues to evaluate the variation in reproducibility costs, with the hypothesis that publications at venues with stricter standards are less...
