However, there is a scarcity of literature specifically focused on the bibliometric analysis of this topic. This study sought to investigate the development pattern of TIME-related research from 2006 to September 14, 2022, from a bibliometric perspective.<h4>Methods</h4>We acquired both articles and reviews related to TIME from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) (retrieved on September 14, 2022). R package "Bibliometrix" was used to calculate the basic bibliometric features, present the collaborative conditions of countries and authors, and generate a three-field plot to show the relationships among authors,European journal of medical researchWorldwide productivity and research trend of publications concerning tumor immune microenvironment (TIME): a bibliometric study.PMC103320172020-I2M-CT-B-0262022-PUMCH-C-049Zhao HTZheng HZhang TZhang JWLu XLiu YGZhang LSang XTJiang STXu YYfalseWorldwide productivity and research trend of publications concerning tumor immune microenvironment (TIME): a bibliometric study.<h4>Background</h4>As the complexity and diversity of the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) are becoming better understood, burgeoning research has progressed in this field.
