Source: R-based application ‘wordcloud’ was used to generate the word cloud; additional analysis (i.e., categorization of the bi-grams) was completed by the study authors and applied to the visualization using Adobe Illustrator. Parameters specified: n-gram-type (phrase-length) = ‘bi-grams’; minimum n-gram frequency = 5.

Top 20 author production over time.
Source: R-based application Biblioshiny was used; additional analysis (i.e., affiliate region of origin) was completed by the study authors and applied to the visualization using Adobe Illustrator. Parameters specified: number of authors = 20.
Fig 5.
Source: R-based application Biblioshiny was used; additional analysis (i.e., affiliate-type, industry- versus medical- or academic-related) was completed by the study authors and applied to the visualization using Adobe Illustrator. Parameters specified: affiliation name disambiguation = no; number of affiliations = 20.

Author collaboration networks.
Source: R-based application Biblioshiny was used; additional analysis (i.e., publication focus) completed by the study authors and applied to the visualization using Adobe Illustrator. Parameters specified: network layout = automatic layout (default); clustering algorithm = walktrap (default); normalization = association (default); number of nodes = 92 (top 10% of total authors); repulsion force = 0.1 (default); remove isolated nodes = yes (default); minimum number of edges (i.e., connections) = 1 (default).

Country collaboration networks.
Source: R-based application Biblioshiny was used; visualization was recreated using Adobe Illustrator. Parameters specified: network layout = automatic layout (default); clustering algorithm = walktrap (default); normalization = association (default); number of nodes = 2000; repulsion force = 0.1 (default); remove isolated nodes = yes (default); minimum number of edges (i.e., connections) = 1 (default).
