Abstract

Objective: The clinical importance of the stapedius muscle has been particularly emphasized in several publications. The purpose of this study is to bibliometrically analyze all publications on the stapedius muscle and to determine research trends related to this muscle.

Methods: The publications related to the stapedius muscle were identified by the Web of Science database. A total of 548 publications were discovered throughout the literature review. Bibliometric techniques were employed to analyze the identified publications (VOSviewer Version 1.6.13).

Results: The first studies were conducted in the 1980s. The highest number of publications related to the stapedius muscle was in 2020 (22 studies), while the lowest was in 1985 (2 studies). Most of the publications (90.11%) were written in English. The USA was the most prolific nation, with John J. Guinan having written the most articles on the stapedius muscle. Harvard University was also the most prolific institution.

Conclusion: The findings demonstrated the researchers' interest in the stapedius muscle and offered quantifiable information regarding the muscle's position within the scientific domain. Recent years have seen an increase in studies on this topic. To the best of our knowledge, it can be said that this study is the first bibliometric analysis on the stapedius muscle.
