bibliometric

— […] in order to extend the time depth for this particular part of the analysis, entries relating to publications mainly or principally concerned with paleopathology in a previously assembled bibliometric database (Mays, 1997a) were also studied. […] In that original bibliometric work (Mays, 1997a), data on whether macroscopy was augmented with imaging and/or microscopic study of skeletal lesions was not collected, so these data were added to that database specifically for this part of the study (all other bibliometric analyses presented here relate solely to the much larger 2011–2019 data set).
