Abstract
With the gradual progress of global aging, geriatric medicine is becoming increasingly popular, and within geriatric medicine, internal medicine holds a very important position. Understanding the situation in the field of geriatric internal medicine helps researchers gain a comprehensive understanding of this area. In this study, we analyzed and visualized relevant literature from the Web of Science Core Collection database using bibliometric methods, collecting a total of 831 articles, with a time span from 1978 to August 2024. We analyzed the overview of the field, the degree of aging and the volume of publications by country, the core journals in the field, the collaboration relationships among institutions and authors, as well as the hotspots and their changes, and discussed the results. This study provides a broad perspective for professionals in the field of geriatric internal medicine and discusses the future research development in the field.
随着全球老龄化的逐步推进，老年医学越来越受欢迎，而在老年医学中，内科占有非常重要的地位。了解老年内科领域的情况有助于研究人员对这一领域有一个全面的了解。本研究采用文献计量学方法对Web of Science Core Collection数据库中的相关文献进行分析和可视化，共收录831篇文献，时间跨度为1978年至2024年8月。我们分析了该领域概况、国家老化程度和发文量、该领域核心期刊、机构和作者之间的合作关系、热点及其变化，并对结果进行了讨论。本研究为老年内科专业人员提供了广阔的视野，并对该领域未来的研究发展进行了探讨。
