Journal characteristics of miRNAs and IDD-related research. A JCR partition of the journals on miRNAs and IDD-related research. B Bar chart of the top 10 journals in terms of the mean times cited per study. C Dual-map overlay of journals in the field. The dual-map overlay of journals in the field showed one main citation path in yellow. D Visual network map of core journals. Different colours represent different clusters. The nodes indicate journals, and the larger the node, the more publications in the journal. E Visual density view of the core journals. The node density size depends on the number of elements in the surrounding area and the importance of these elements. The higher the node density and closer to red, the more articles are published. Conversely, the lower the density and closer to blue, the fewer articles are published
