Bibliometrics analysis of DNA-PKcs subject lecture in radiobiology

In this paper, we conducted a bibliometrics analysis of data in Web of Science and CNKI using CiteSpaceV, and HistCite software, and analyzed the literature, authors, institutions, and journals reporting studies on DNA-PKcs. The results showed that from 2006 to 2016, the literature amount on DNA-PKcs research topics in radiation biology increased from 34 to 503. The USA emerged as the country with the most active research in this field, China ranked second in the world in terms of number of papers, and The United States, Germany and Japan are more closely linked. There was a high co-citation frequency between the important academic journals such as DNA Repair, Journal of Biological Chemistry, Molecular and Cellular Biology, and high-impact journals such as Cancer Research, Oncogene, Nature, Cell, indicating that this topic is at the forefront of current scientific research and has witnessed breakthrough results and ideas.
