在医疗保健领域,包括放射肿瘤学领域,平等、多样性和包容性（EDI）的推广越来越受到关注。由于文献计量学是揭示特定主题在特定时间内科学文献的有力工具,因此对放射肿瘤学EDI文献进行了系统的计量分析,旨在探索研究的共同模式和新兴趋势,跟踪合作和网络,以及预测临床研究的未来方向。在分析中使用了标准的描述性统计和文献计量技术。从数据生成了一个协作网络和主题图。代表了四个领域：i）主题领域，包括已经发展和重要的主题，有助于构建研究领域；ii）利基主题，代表孤立的主题，不与其他主题有重要的外部链接；iii）新兴主题，指尚未发展完全的主题；iv）基础主题，包括基本主题。在放射肿瘤学这一职业中,EDI对于确保推进放射肿瘤学护理的劳动力从人类资本的完整人才库中汲取并为所有病人提供最高质量的科学和临床护理至关重要。EDI在放射肿瘤学领域蓬勃发展的文献表明,大量成员的学者在放射肿瘤学领域致力于解决这些重要挑战。版权所有©2023 Elsevier Inc.

The promotion of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) is increasingly pursued in healthcare, both in general and within radiation oncology. Since bibliometrics is a powerful tool to reveal the scientific literature on a specific topic during a certain timespan, a systematic bibliometric analysis of the documents published on EDI in radiation oncology was performed, aiming at exploring common patterns in research and emerging trends, tracking collaborations and networks, and anticipating future directions in clinical research. Standard descriptive statistics and bibliometric techniques were used in the analysis. A collaboration network and thematic map were generated from the data. Four domains were represented: i) motor themes, including those themes well developed and important for the structuring of the research field; ii) niche themes, representing the isolated topics that do not share important external links with other themes; iii) emerging themes, referring to still weakly developed topics; iv) basic themes, including the essential topics. EDI in the profession of radiation oncology is essential both to ensure that the workforce delivering radiation oncology care draws from the full talent pool of human capital and delivers the highest quality science and clinical care to all patients. The burgeoning literature on EDI in radiation oncology suggests that a large and growing cohort of scholars within radiation oncology are dedicated to addressing these important challenges.Copyright © 2023.
