Global trends and emerging research in nanotechnology for esophageal cancer: a comprehensive bibliometric analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite the growing body of research on nanotechnology for esophageal cancer (EC), a comprehensive bibliometric analysis in this field has yet to be conducted. This study aims to fill this gap by analyzing global research trends, key contributors, and emerging themes in nanotechnology for EC.

Methods

A bibliometric analysis was performed on publications from 1980 to 2024, using data from the Web of Science Core Collection. The analysis was conducted using VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and the R package 'bibliometrix' to visualize research trends, collaboration networks, and thematic areas.

Results

The analysis included 419 documents authored by 2952 researchers from 44 countries. A significant increase in publications was observed, particularly after 2011, with Chi
