Research overview of the correlation between circadian rhythm and traumatic brain injury:based on bib-liometrics and visualization analysis
Objective To explore the research history,current status,hotspots,and trends in the field of brain injury and circadian rhythm research through bibliometric analysis and visualization methods.Methods Relevant articles on brain injury and circadian rhythm were retrieved,screened,and downloaded from the WoS Core Collection(WoSCC)database.The search time ranged from the establishment of the database to September 30,2022.VOSviewer(version 1.6.18)and CiteSpace(ver-sion 6.1.R2)software were used for bibliometric and visualization analysis.Results A total of 171 arti-cles related to brain injury and circadian rhythm were retrieved.Since 2014,the number of articles re-lated to brain injury and circadian rhythm has shown an upward trend year by year.In addition,coop-eration among different institutions,countries,and authors in this research field is not active.Conclu-sion Research on the mechanism of the role of circadian rhythm in brain injury is still in its infancy.Sleep and sleep disorders may be the future frontiers and trends in the research field of circadian rhythm and brain injury.
