Abstract
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019 has drawn public awareness to the transmission of respiratory infectious diseases. To better comprehend the developments and trends in research on the transmission mechanism of respiratory infectious diseases in the air, the publications in the Web of Science Core Collection database from 2017 to 2023 were utilized to reveal critical information. Herein, the yearly quantitative distribution and the geographical distribution of publications were analysed using a bibliometric method and information visualization technology. In addition, this study focused on the airborne transmission characteristics and influencing factors of respiratory infectious diseases. Research directions in different scenarios were innovatively extracted and the main measures to reduce the infection risk were summarized. Furthermore, some future work suggestions were given. The findings of this study provide several implications that can serve as guidelines for new and experienced researchers to establish a basic framework before initiating future research projects.
2019年爆发的COVID-19大流行引起了公众对呼吸道传染病传播的关注。为了更好地理解呼吸道传染病在空气中传播机制研究的发展和趋势,我们利用Web of Science核心收录数据库中2017年至2023年的出版物来揭示关键信息。其中,利用文献计量学方法和信息可视化技术分析了出版物的年度数量分布和地域分布。此外,本研究还关注了呼吸道传染病的空气传播特征和影响因素。创新性地提取了不同场景下的研究方向,并总结了降低感染风险的主要措施。此外,还提出了一些未来工作建议。本研究的结果提供了一些启示,可作为新老研究人员在启动未来研究项目前建立基本框架的指南。
