Abstract

Aim: The basic aim of this analysis was to evaluate the 100 most cited publications in aging research.
Methods: On January 17, 2021 Web of Science Core Collection database was searched for aging research publications. The studied parameter includes; publication year, authorship, publication type, keywords, journal name, institution, country, and visualization mapping. HistCiteTM application for citation analysis and VOSviewer software was used for visualization mapping.
Results: The top 100 most cited papers were published in 52 journals, authored by 537 authors. The most cited paper was “The diagnosis of dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease: Recommendations from the National Institute on Aging-Alzheimer’s Association workgroups on diagnostic guidelines for Alzheimer’s disease,” which received 6039 citations (2013 average citations per year). Nature was the most attractive journal (n=13). Aging was the most dominant used keyword. The maximum number of papers were published in 2005 (n=8). Harvard University was the leading institute (n=13), while the United States of America (USA) was the most productive country (n=76).
Conclusion: The highly cited papers were published in developed countries, and no study was published in low-income countries.
