Abstract

Introduction: Globally, sexual and gender minorities (SGM) exhibit significantly higher tobacco use rates than their cisgender heterosexual counterparts, a persistent health disparity that has garnered increasing attention in public health research.

Methods: We conducted a bibliometric analysis of 704 SGM tobacco use-related publications from the Web of Science Core Collection. First, we examined publication trends, key contributors, and collaborative networks. Second, we performed co-citation network analysis to identify disciplinary characteristics and research hotspots. Finally, we applied keyword burst detection and clustering techniques to assess emerging trends and frontier areas.

Results: From 1984 to 2024, research on SGM tobacco use demonstrated consistent growth. The US accounted for the majority of publications (82.52%), with institutions such as the University of California System serving as key hubs for research collaboration. Research hotspots clustered around five key themes: 1) the effects of novel tobacco products, 2) subgroup differences in tobacco use, 3) tobacco-related health disparities, 4) smoking cessation research, and 5) social and psychological mechanisms.

Conclusions: Using data mining and visualization techniques, this study constructed a comprehensive knowledge map of research on SGM tobacco use. Our findings elucidate evolving patterns and emerging trends while offering valuable perspectives to guide future investigations.

性和性别少数群体烟草使用的全球研究趋势：1984-2024年的文献计量分析。

在全球范围内，性少数群体和性别少数群体（SGM）的烟草使用率明显高于顺性异性恋群体，这一持续存在的健康差异在公共卫生研究中引起了越来越多的关注。方法：我们对Web of Science Core Collection中704篇SGM烟草使用相关出版物进行了文献计量学分析。首先，我们研究了出版趋势、主要贡献者和合作网络。其次，进行共被引网络分析，识别学科特征和研究热点。最后，我们应用关键词突发检测和聚类技术来评估新兴趋势和前沿领域。结果：从1984年到2024年，对SGM烟草使用的研究呈持续增长趋势。美国发表的论文最多（82.52%），加州大学系统等机构是研究合作的主要中心。研究热点集中在五个关键主题上：1)新型烟草制品的影响；2)烟草使用的亚组差异；3)烟草相关健康差异；4)戒烟研究；5)社会和心理机制。结论：利用数据挖掘和可视化技术，构建了SGM烟草使用研究的综合知识图谱。我们的研究结果阐明了不断变化的模式和新兴趋势，同时为指导未来的研究提供了有价值的视角。

期刊介绍： Tobacco Induced Diseases encompasses all aspects of research related to the prevention and control of tobacco use at a global level. Preventing diseases attributable to tobacco is only one aspect of the journal, whose overall scope is to provide a forum for the publication of research articles that can contribute to reducing the burden of tobacco induced diseases globally. To address this epidemic we believe that there must be an avenue for the publication of research/policy activities on tobacco control initiatives that may be very important at a regional and national level. This approach provides a very important "hands on" service to the tobacco control community at a global scale - as common problems have common solutions. Hence, we see ourselves as "connectors" within this global community. The journal hence encourages the submission of articles from all medical, biological and psychosocial disciplines, ranging from medical and dental clinicians, through health professionals to basic biomedical and clinical scientists.
