Bibliometric analysis of the top-cited articles on oral erythroplakia and leukoplakia.

We read with interest the recent article (jop12683) by Foy et al. [1] entitled "Bibliometric analysis of a century of research on oral erythroplakia and leukoplakia". We congratulate the authors on conducting the first bibliometric analysis on oral erythroplakia and leukoplakia (OEL). The leading journals, authors and countries contributing to the research on OEL were analyzed. Yet, the interest was unfortunately not sustained through the reading for several concerned reasons. To begin with, we arguably provide specific comments on the article. Given these comments, we then focus on the analysis of study topics, study designs, and level of Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM) of the top-cited articles on OEL to add unaddressed information.
