Hot spots and frontiers in bone-tendon interface research: a bibliometric analysis and visualization from 2000 to 2023.

Objective: In this research, we investigated the current status, hotspots, frontiers, and trends of research in the field of bone-tendon interface (BTI) from 2000 to 2023, based on bibliometrics and visualization and analysis in CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and a bibliometric package in R software.

Methods: We collected and organized the papers in the Web of Science core collection (WoSCC) for the past 23 years (2000-2023), and extracted and analyzed the papers related to BTI. The extracted papers were bibliometrically analyzed using CiteSpace for overall publication trends, authors, countries/regions, journals, keywords, research hotspots, and frontiers.
