Scientometric Profile of Communication Disorders.

The paper reports on a scientometric study of 14150 publications on communication disorders research conducted from 1999 to 2018. The study analyses literature to determine different forms of documents, authorship patterns, keywords, citations, language of publication, etc. The results indicate that the majority of the publications are published in journals (75%), with the highest number of papers published in Autism (50744) and more than 54 (16575) cited references. At the same time, Autism has published below 21 (15115) volumes of articles. The dominant language of publications is English, scoring 96.39%. A significant number of publications have below 19 (82.1%) pages. This study observed that the maximum number of publications was 137287 (97%). Thus, communication disorders research is collaborative rather than solo authorship. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
