Advancing the understanding of alveolar regeneration: Global research trends, thematic evolution, and emerging frontiers.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Alveolar regeneration represents a critical research direction in respiratory disease treatment. Despite the surge in studies following the COVID-19 pandemic, comprehensive bibliometric analysis to systematically evaluate global research trends and future directions remains lacking.

Methods

This study employed bibliometric methodology to analyze 1564 publications related to alveolar regeneration from 1974 to 2024 using the Web of Science Core Collection database. Data visualization and analysis were conducted using VOSviewer (version 1.6.19), CiteSpace (version 6.2.R3), and the biblioshiny R package.

Results

The analysis encompassed 68 countries, 1930 institutions, and 9150 researchers across 658 journals. The United States leads with 601 publication
