At that point, a thorough investigation proved that there is a growing tendency in the papers on Encephalitis research publications. The institutions according to the analysis, the Inserm published the most articles, with 551 (15.00%) research publications, the PLoS One with 414 (13.33%). The United States contributed the most articles, amounting to more than 9,102 (33.15%) of the total publication. The highly cited paper in Encephalitis with the highest citations in of Olesen, J., Bes, A. et al.
