Respiratory care in focus: a decadal bibliometric review of research dynamics

This bibliometric review of respiratory care research dynamics comprehensively analyzes respiratory care's multidisciplinary nature and information science's role in managing respiratory diseases. The study analyzed 2,467 articles from digital repositories and databases, with Scopus emerging as the primary repository for respiratory care research. The United States, the United Kingdom, and Spain were the top producers of respiratory care studies. Massachusetts General Hospital, the University of Toronto, and Harvard Medical School had the highest production of papers. The study highlights the importance of using a broader range of keywords and multilingual search strategies to ensure a more representative analysis of the literature in respiratory care. The findings of this study serve as a resource for healthcare professionals and researchers in respiratory care and encourage continued emphasis on interdisciplinary research to advance this vital field.
