基于文献计量学的病理性近视研究热点及演进趋势的可视化分析OA

Objective Using bibliometric methods,this study investigates the research hotspots and evolutionary trends of pathological myopia(PM).Methods Select the Web of Science database to search for journal articles related to PM,and use CiteSpace 6.4.R1 to analyze author,distribution of publishing institutions and countries,as well as key-words frequency and clustering.Use SciMat v1.1.04 to identify hot topics in the PM field and conduct analyses of research topic evolution and evolutionary pathways.Results Following screening,2397 publications published between 2004 and 2025 were included.The annual output showed a steady increase,with a notable acceleration since 2020.The top 10 most productive authors contributed 395 articles;while the top 10 institutions published 767 articles-nine of which were located in Asia;a total of 164 keywords were extracted.Keyword clustering revealed four major thematic clusters:photody-namic therapy,high myopia,myopia control,and photorefractive keratectomy.Conclusions Research on PM is rapidly expanding but continues to face significant challenges.Future research should deepen understanding of PM pathogenesis,explore novel therapeutic approaches,and focus on long-term management and effective treatment of complications.
