Trends in global research on tobacco use among sexual and gender minorities: A bibliometric analysis, 1984-2024.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Globally, sexual and gender minorities (SGM) exhibit significantly higher tobacco use rates than their cisgender heterosexual counterparts, a persistent health disparity that has garnered increasing attention in public health research.

Methods

We conducted a bibliometric analysis of 704 SGM tobacco use-related publications from the Web of Science Core Collection. First, we examined publication trends, key contributors, and collaborative networks. Second, we performed co-citation network analysis to identify disciplinary characteristics and research hotspots. Finally, we applied keyword burst detection and clustering techniques to assess emerging trends and frontier areas.

Results

From 1984 to 2024, research on SGM tobacco use demonstrated consistent growt
