Scientometric Analysis and Visualization of literature on Diabetic Retinopathy by using VOSViewer Techniques

The tremendous growth in diabetic patients worldwide leads to an increase in diabetic retinopathy cases, becoming a significant health issue due to diabetes. The main aim of this study is to scrutinize the intellectual arrangement and current global trends in diabetic retinopathy and uncover its potential information. In this study, the report analysis is performed on the scientific invention and publication global trends, which are highly appropriate to identify the author's citations, co-authorship analysis, citation analysis based on documents and countries, and bibliographic coupling network by using VOSViewer software. This study focused on the “Scientometric analysis,” which is emphasized to evaluate the scientific research and development trends for diabetic retinopathy using the Scopus database. From 2000 to 2022, a total of 4491 articles were retrieved, of which 3307 documents were extracted after the bibliometric analysis filtering. This research analysis is determined by the computer engineering field and its related state-of-the-art techniques. This work provides a wide range of the existing status and trends in the application of diabetic retinopathy. It is widely used to comprehend dedicated research topics, journals, conference articles, and countries concentrating on retinal diseases.
