Objectives: Utilizing Bibliometric Analysis to Evaluate Research Trends in Factors Influencing Respiratory System Diseases Among University Students and Investigate Institutional Collaborations, Research Hotspots, and Emerging Trends.
Methodology: A computer-based retrieval process was employed to access publications from the Web of Science and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases. This retrieval encompassed articles published in both Chinese and English languages, spanning from January 1, 1998, to June 1, 2023, focusing on the impact factors of respiratory system diseases among university students. Subsequently, a visual analysis was conducted using bibliometric software known as CiteSpace, exploring the dimensions of nations, institutions, journals, authors, cited references, and keywords.
Results: A total of 927 scholarly papers pertaining to the determinants of respiratory system diseases among university students were retrieved. Of these, 667 were published in English, while 260 were in Chinese. The volume of publications in this field has exhibited a steady annual increase, with a notable exponential surge observed in 2019 concerning research output on respiratory system diseases among university students. However, there was a subsequent decline in publication volume by the year 2023. Key terms such as "Air pollution," "attitude," "lifestyle," and "infectious laryngotracheitis virus" have emerged as prominent nodes, signifying their critical relevance in shaping the forefront of research on respiratory system diseases among university students. Moreover, "attitude" and "lifestyle" have exhibited a sustained presence over an extended timeline.In recent years, keywords such as "COVID-19" and "health" have gained prominence and maintained persistent scholarly attention. This phenomenon underscores their status as current research hotspots and frontiers in the study of respiratory system diseases among university students. Noteworthy terms include "COVID-19," "coronavirus diseases 19," "exposure," "asthma," and "health."
Conclusion: School food safety and hygiene issues, students' lifestyle and attitudes, along with the impact of "COVID-19," constitute prominent research focal points and trends in the investigation of causative factors of respiratory system diseases among university students. The findings from bibliometric analysis furnish valuable insights for researchers, aiding in the identification of potential collaborators and institutions. Additionally, they facilitate the exploration of key issues within this domain and the pursuit of novel research directions.
