About

Xiaofei Guan is a leading researcher in bibliometrics and the scientometric analysis of emerging medical technologies, with a particular focus on robotic surgery. His most influential work, "Global scientific production of robotic surgery in medicine: A 20-year survey of research activities" (2016, 60 citations), represents a landmark contribution to the field. In this study, Guan conducted the first comprehensive bibliometric analysis of robotic surgery publications, providing a macroscopic view of two decades of research activities and publication distributions worldwide. This foundational work has become an essential reference for understanding the growth and impact of robotic-assisted surgical procedures. By systematically mapping the scientific landscape, Guan’s research offers critical insights into research trends, collaboration patterns, and the diffusion of surgical innovation. His work has been widely cited by scholars and practitioners seeking to contextualize the rapid expansion of robotic surgery in modern medicine. Guan’s contributions exemplify how bibliometric methods can illuminate the evolution of transformative healthcare technologies, making his research invaluable for students and researchers studying the intersection of data science, medical innovation, and scholarly communication.
