abstract="BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) could cause motor, sensory loss, severe functional insufficiency, and social problems. This study aims to provide a holistic summary of the global scientific outputs about Spinal Cord Injury through bibliometric analyses and reveal the trend topics. <br><br>METHODS: All publications about Spinal Cord Injury published between 1980 and 2018 in Web of Science (WoS) index were downloaded (Access date: 01.09.2019) and analyzed using bibliometric methods. In the &quot;Title&quot; search section in WoS, the documents that had the &quot;Spinal Cord Injury&quot; words were found. Correlation analysis between spinal cord injury publication productivity and economic development indicators of the world countries were analyzed using the Spearman correlation coefficient. <br><br>RESULTS: There were 20322 publications 13662 of which were articles. The top three productive countries were the USA, China, and Canada. British Columbia (403, 2.9%), Toronto (401, 2.9%), and Miami (387, 2.8%) were the prominent institutions. The top productive journals were Spinal Cord (1399, 10.24%), Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (835, 6.11%), and Journal of Neurotrauma (631, 4.61%). A statistically significant, high-level correlation was found between the number of publications about SCI and the countries' Gross Domestic Product and Gross Domestic Product per capita (r=0.711, p<0.001; r=0.699, p<0.001). <br><br>CONCLUSION: This study provides a systematic analysis of SCI and could be a beneficial guide for clinicians and scientists.<br><br>Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc.
