Global trends and hotspots in Cyclin-dependent Kinase Subunit 2 research from 1999 to 2022: A bibliometric and visualized analysis

BACKGROUND: Cyclin-dependent Kinase Subunit 2 is a protein closely related to the regulation of the cell cycle. In recent years, there has been an increasing number of research articles on this topic. However, there is a lack of comprehensive synthesis and evaluation in the field of CKS2 research. This study aims to summarize and visualize the literature distribution, research hotspots, and development trends of CKS2 based on bibliometric methods. METHODS: Publications from 1999 to 2022 were extracted from the Web of Science. Citespace was used to analyze the relevant information of each article. RESULTS: A total of 138 publications focused on CKS2 showed a positive growth trend from 1999 to 2022 and were published by 27 countries. The most prolific countries are China and the USA. The most prolific institution is Scripps Research Institute. The most prolific author is Steven I. Reed from Scripps Research Institute. The most cited article is published by Todd R Golub. The most cited author is Hanna-Stina Martinsson-Ahlzen. The journal with the most published articles is International Journal of Oncology. The high frequency keywords suggest that expression and function of CKS2 in cancer are dominated topics. The clusters and burst words suggest that expression and function of CKS2 still active in the future. CONCLUSION SUBSECTIONS: The results of this bibliometric analysis provide information on the state and trends in CKS2 from 1999 to 2022. It is helpful for scholars to pinpoint hot issues and discover new areas of study.
