Abstract

Introduction

The development of body donation (BD) programs has varied significantly worldwide, with recent increases in donations. This study performed a visual analysis of BD research over the past 2 decades to explore trends and key areas of interest within the field.

Methods

This study used scientometric data from the Web of Science database and 2 bibliometric analysis tools: VOSviewer and CiteSpace.

Results

Between 2004 and 2024, 1384 BD articles were published in 568 journals. Publication and citation numbers increased consistently. Leading contributions come from institutions in Europe and the United States. The countries, institutions, journals, and authors with the highest publication counts included the United States (342), Medical University of Innsbruck (55), Anatomical Sciences Education (117), and Raffaele De Caro (26). The most frequently used keywords were BD, anatomy, dissection, attitude, medical education, transplantation, and organ donation. Keywords that showed significant bursts included outcomes, whole BD, educators, gross anatomy education, disease, in vitro studies, governing BD, adipose tissue, respect, and legal considerations.

Conclusions

The findings suggest that future research topics and hotspots in the BD field should focus on evaluating teaching effectiveness, enhancing medical ethics, improving legal frameworks, fostering public education and awareness, and advancing tissue engineering transplantation.

期刊介绍： Transplantation Proceedings publishes several different categories of manuscripts, all of which undergo extensive peer review by recognized authorities in the field prior to their acceptance for publication. The first type of manuscripts consists of sets of papers providing an in-depth expression of the current state of the art in various rapidly developing components of world transplantation biology and medicine. These manuscripts emanate from congresses of the affiliated transplantation societies, from Symposia sponsored by the Societies, as well as special Conferences and Workshops covering related topics. Transplantation Proceedings also publishes several special sections including publication of Clinical Transplantation Proceedings, being rapid original contributions of preclinical and clinical experiences. These manuscripts undergo review by members of the Editorial Board. Original basic or clinical science articles, clinical trials and case studies can be submitted to the journal?s open access companion title Transplantation Reports.
