Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the current research status, research development trends and hotspots from 2012 to 2022 at home and abroad.Methods:This study collected medical English research articles published in core journals at home and abroad in the past 11 years. Changes in the number of published articles over the years and high-yield journal publications at home and abroad were analyzed using Excel, followed by keyword co-occurrence and cluster analysis using CiteSpace.Results:The number of medical English research articles published in China between years has shown a downward trend, while foreign countries have shown a fluctuating upward trend. Medical English research articles in China were mainly published in medical journals, while those in foreign countries were mainly published in language journals. Research hotspots in medical English at home and abroad covered medical English education, medical discourse, medical vocabulary, medical communication and English academic publication. Both domestic and foreign studies focus on medical English education and medical research articles; as for differences, domestic scholars pay more attention to bilingual teaching mode, English teaching reform and medical vocabulary, while foreign scholars focus more on interlingual and intercultural medical communication and English academic publications by second-language medical scholars.Conclusions:There are certain differences in development trends, high-yield journals, and research hotspots of medical English research at home and abroad in the past 11 years.
