Pharmaceutical care is essential in building up the basics of public health and clinical care. A comprehensive understanding of global status in the field of pharmaceutical care is necessary for directing its research frontiers and future trends. Therefore, this study aims to make a bibliometric analysis to track the development of pharmaceutical care research worldwide during the past two decades. The publications regarding pharmaceutical care were culled from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). Countries, institutions, authors, journals, references, and keywords in this field were visually analyzed by using VOSviewer (version 1.6.17) and CiteSpace (Version 5.8.R3). As a result, 3,597 publications (3,177 articles and 420 reviews) were obtained. The annual yields grew more than three times in the past two decades, from 54 records in 2002 to 379 papers in 2021. The United States played the leading role in this research from multiple aspects, including publication ( = 1,208), citations ( = 28,759), funding agencies, and collaboration worldwide. The University of Sydney in Australia was the most contributed institution with the greatest number of publications ( = 112) in pharmaceutical care research. Hersberger KE from the University of Basel was the most productive author ( = 40). Chen TF from the University of Sydney was the author who owed the highest H-index of 19 and most citations ( = 1,501). They both significantly impacted this field. American Journal of Health System Pharmacy produced the most publications, while Pharmacotherapy had the highest IF (IF = 4.705) in this field. Clusters networks of co-cited references and keywords suggested that clinical pharmacy is an essential theme in pharmaceutical care. Terms of medication safety and critical care recognized by burst analysis of keywords also hint at the recent attention on clinical pharmacy. The present bibliometrics analysis may provide a comprehensive overview and valuable reference for future researchers and practitioners in the research field of pharmaceutical care.
药学服务对于构建公共卫生和临床护理基础至关重要。全面了解药学服务领域的全球状况对于指导其研究前沿和未来趋势至关重要。因此，本研究旨在进行文献计量分析，以跟踪过去二十年全球药学服务研究的发展。从 Web of Science 核心合集（WoSCC）中提取有关药学服务的文献。使用 VOSviewer（版本 1.6.17）和 CiteSpace（版本 5.8.R3）对该领域的国家、机构、作者、期刊、参考文献和关键词进行可视化分析。结果共获得 3597 篇文献（3177 篇文章和 420 篇综述）。在过去的二十年中，每年的产出增长了三倍多，从 2002 年的 54 条记录增加到 2021 年的 379 篇论文。美国在多个方面发挥了主导作用，包括出版物（=1208）、引用量（=28759）、资助机构和全球合作。澳大利亚悉尼大学是在药学服务研究中贡献最大的机构，发表的论文数量最多（=112）。巴塞尔大学的 Hersberger KE 是最有成果的作者（=40）。悉尼大学的陈 TF 是作者中 H 指数最高的（=19），引用量最多（=1501）。他们都对该领域产生了重大影响。《美国卫生系统药剂师杂志》发表的论文最多，而该领域的《药物治疗学》的 IF 最高（IF=4.705）。共被引参考文献和关键词的聚类网络表明，临床药学是药学服务的一个重要主题。关键词突发分析识别的药物安全和重症监护相关术语也暗示了最近对临床药学的关注。本文献计量学分析可为药学服务研究领域的未来研究人员和从业者提供全面的概述和有价值的参考。
