Knowledge atlas on the medical artificial intelligence research: a bibliometric analysis based on CiteSpace and VOSviewer

Abstract

In order to draw and analyze the current status of the research on the application of artificial intelligence in the field of health in China and abroad, we explored the hotspots and frontiers of this research field and the evolution path from 2012 to 2022. This research uses 3743 articles included in the core database of Web of Science and 728 related research articles contained in CNKI as the basis for data analysis, and uses the advantages of bibliometrics visualization software of CiteSpace and VOSviewer to study institutions, countries, authors and literature keywords. In this research area, the research of medical artificial intelligence is growing day by day. By analyzing and sorting out the current research status, research hotspots and evolution path in this field of research, and trying to point out the deficiencies in the research in this field in China, the paper hopes to provide more references for researchers and practitioners of medical artificial intelligence related research.
