Abstract

Introduction: Breast pumps represent valuable tools to promote continued breastfeeding. Aim: Describe the characteristics of the global scientific production of breast pumps indexed in Scopus. Materials and methods: Descriptive study based on bibliometric methodology. A search equation was created using keywords and logical operators. We found 362 articles in Scopus and selected 292 that met the selection criteria. Visibility, impact, and collaboration indicators were estimated using the SciVal tool. Results: The University of Western Australia had the most publications, although the University of Toronto (18.6) in Canada had the highest average number of citations per publication. The most productive authors were Geddes Donna Tracy and Lai Ching Tat; however, Meier Paula Primmer had 67% more expected citations than the overall average. National collaboration was present in approximately 50% of the publications. Articles in first-quartile journals are published in higher numbers and with a positive trend from 2013 to 2022. Most of the most productive journals were positioned in the Q1 quartile, of these, the Journal of Human Lactation and Breastfeeding Medicine had the most publications. Conclusion: Research on breast pumps increased, especially in journals positioned in the first and second quartile. National cooperation is the most frequent, with the United States as one of the countries with the most institutions among the most productive.
