Global Inequalities in Anatomy-Related Medical Education Research

This repository contains the R analysis code and supplementary materials for the correspondence: "Anatomy Education Is Global, but Its Evidence Base Is Not".

Contents

  • src/code.R: R script used for cleaning the Scopus dataset, normalizing country names, and conducting the scientometric and bibliometric analysis (including Gini coefficient, Lorenz curve, and income group distribution).
  • Supplementary Material 1.docx: The Scopus search strategy and terms used for this study.
  • Supplementary Material 2.csv: Metadata of the articles retrieved from the Scopus search.

Overview of the Analysis

The provided R script (src/code.R) performs the following operations:

  1. Data Cleaning: Imports Scopus records and filters for relevant articles and reviews published after 1999.
  2. Author Country Extraction: Extracts and normalizes the first author's country of affiliation.
  3. Productivity Metrics: Calculates country productivity, generating a top 10 list of contributing countries.
  4. Inequality Analysis: Calculates the Gini coefficient and constructs a Lorenz curve to visualize the concentration of publications among represented countries.
  5. Income Groups Analysis: Integrates World Bank data to analyze publication output by country income groups (High vs. Low income).
  6. Focus Regions: Evaluates the contribution from specific regions (Latin America and Caribbean, Colombia, Africa, Southeast Asia).
  7. Visualization: Generates the main figure combining a bar chart of the top 10 contributing countries and the Lorenz curve.

Prerequisites

To run the analysis, you will need R installed along with the following packages:

  • tidyverse
  • janitor
  • countrycode
  • DescTools
  • WDI
  • patchwork
  • scales

The script automatically checks for and installs any missing packages before execution.
