Bibliometric analysis of the literature from the mainland of China on animal-derived regenerative implantable medical devices

Abstract

Choosing animal-derived regenerative implantable medical devices based on tissue engineering technology as a research theme, this paper presents bibliometric analysis of relative literature from the mainland of China to understand such data as publication year and journal preference, authors’ geographic location, research topics and core expertise to predict the research trends and provide an informed basis of decision making for researchers and clinicians.

Keywords
