Abstract:
Objective To analyze the current status of malaria vaccine research from 2019 to 2024 by using bibliometric methods.Methods Based on the Web of Science core collection database,we used VOSviewer to conduct a visual analysis of the publishing trends,publishing journals,international cooperation status,institutions and research hotspots of malaria vaccine research.Results A total of 2 467 relevant articles were retrieved,and the annual number of publications showed a stable trend.The number of articles published by different countries/regions varied greatly,and the top effect was obvious.The United States published the most papers(1 032 articles,41.83%).The international cooperation network reflected the regional collaborative relationships in malaria vaccine research,predominantly involving the United States,the United Kingdom,Australia,India and China.Through keyword co-occurrence clustering,the current research hotspots in the field of malaria vaccines were basic research on key sites and mechanisms of potential vaccines,clinical research on new vaccines,epidemiological studies on the impact of malaria vaccines on malaria transmission,etc.Conclusion In recent years,malaria vaccine research has received sustained attention.The translation of clinical research on malaria vaccine was currently accelerating,and children and women were still the key groups of concern.
