Abstract:
Rapid development is undergoing in the field of rehabilitation robots, and more countries (regions) are participating in international cooperation and becoming academic contributors. Here in this study, the bibliometric method is used to determine the dynamics and developments of international cooperation in China. The publication data are indexed in Web of Science with search term of rehabilitation robot from 2000 to 2019. Compared with other countries (regions), publication with international co-authors and institutes participating in international cooperation are studied by assessment of indicators such as the cooperation degree, cooperation frequency, and the frequency of citations. The results show that in the past two decades, international scientific cooperation has shown a positive tendency in China, and participating in international collaboration could improve China's impact on the global rehabilitation robot. The United States, England and Japan are the top three countries in number of cooperation with China. Our findings provide valuable information for researchers to better understand China's international scientific collaboration in rehabilitation robot.
