5.Conclusions
Our analysis reveals a rapid increase in research related to hemiparesis
and stroke worldwide, with the United States leading the way. In
addition, one of the top researchers in this area is John Levin, MF of
McGill University. By becoming knowledgeable about the leading
institutions, journals, authors, and citations, researchers can plan
their upcoming studies. In light of new trends, they will also be free
to decide the course of their research. However, researchers must be
aware of the limitations of bibliometric analysis when using databases.
Not all journals in all fields are covered by WOS. Additionally, there
is a lack of periodicals published in languages other than English.
