Identifying promising research areas in health using bibliometric analysis

Abstract

The increasing complexity and evolution of health research have led to the need for identifying niches and potential research areas to foster innovation and improve outcomes in medical care. Bibliometric analyses offer an objective and quantitative tool for evaluating scientific output, impact, and trends in the health field. Developing a strategy to discover niches or potential research areas in health based on bibliometric analyses aids in identifying opportunities for advancing scientific knowledge and enhancing the population's quality of life. The utilization of this approach is expected to strengthen the competitive position of research institutions and create a positive impact on medical care and public health.
