Overview

Bibliometric analysis reveals sustained growth and shifting thematic focus toward patient-centered care in transplant nursing research, indicating rising demand for international collaboration.

Key Points

To assess global publication trends, collaborative research networks, and thematic shifts in solid organ transplant nursing from 1995 to 2026.
Extracted 1,432 solid organ transplant nursing publications published between January 1995 and January 2026 from the Web of Science Core Collection.
Analyzed publication outputs, citation metrics, authorship patterns, geographic contributions, and keyword co-occurrence using the bibliometrix package in R.
The dataset included 567 sources and 7,147 authors (mean 5.94 authors per document), with an international collaboration rate of 13.48%.
The United States contributed the largest share of publications (30.59%), followed by China, Brazil, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
Analysis identified 89 high-frequency keywords, revealing dominant and evolving themes centered on kidney transplantation, quality of life, survivorship, and patient-centered care.
