Abstract

Objectives: This article was designed to deeply analyze the research status and frontier trend of spinal cord injury (SCI), so as to accurately understand the development stage and characteristics of SCI research. Methods: By entering keywords to download literature, and applying bibliometric analysis software, and website, we find and analyze articles related to SCI from 1906 to 2024 on Web of Science, then deciphering the annual trends, countries or regions, institutions, and authors in SCI field. Results: The study found that the United States is the most productive country, which started its researches early and published articles far beyond other countries. The most powerful institution is University of Kentucky. The Journal of Research is in the leading place from journal analysis. Whereas, in terms of journal, Liu, J. is the most productive author who published 58 papers. Conclusions: Therefore, in the field of SCI, other countries need to make efforts to keep up with the United States, and try to innovate and broaden the scope of their studies. This article systematically reviews the trend and hotspot of SCI-related studies, therefore offering valuable insights for future studies.
