Key Words	Web of Science Core Collection; Front page; World Journal of Gastroenterology; Search keywords; Bibliometric
Core Tip	Approximately 1% of the documents retrieved directly from searches fell outside the designated search period specified in each paper. Consequently, it can be inferred that using data directly from the Web of Science Core Collection may be inappropriate due to the potential inaccuracies introduced by this discrepancy. Findings strongly suggest that employing quotation marks (“ ”) for search keywords is essential for ensuring more accurate data analysis results in bibliometric studies. Integrating additional pertinent search keywords based on the original papers can indeed refine and enhance the precision of data analysis results in bibliometric studies. By meticulously curating the list of abbreviation terms and removing irrelevant ones, researchers can enhance the precision and accuracy of their bibliometric studies, resulting in more meaningful and insightful findings.
