Abstract: In 10 years, we will mark the 200th anniversary of the James 
Parkinson's original description of the disease that now bears his name. 
This study was to explore an alternative statistical approach to 
quantitatively and qualitatively assessing current research trends on 
global Parkinson's disease using the related literatures from the 
Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) Web of Science databases during 
the period of 1991-2006. Articles were concentrated on the analysis by 
scientific output characters, world collaboration, and the frequency of 
author keywords used. An exponential regression was applied to model the 
high correlation between cumulative number of articles and the year. 
International collaborative articles were more prevalent in recent years 
than earlier years, and increasing international collaboration would lead 
to more powerful articles due to the sharing of ideas and workloads, while 
China, Italy, Spain. and Austria are benefit a lot from the international 
cooperation. Finally, author keywords were analyzed contrastively, with 
research trends and recent hotspots provided. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ireland
