The use rate of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) among adolescents is continuously rising globally, posing new challenges to public health and negatively impacting adolescent health. This study employs bibliometric methods to systematically present the current state and evolving trends in global research on adolescent e-cigarette use.
This study uses CiteSpace to conduct a bibliometric analysis of articles related to adolescent e-cigarette use from the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection database. Firstly, performance analysis and collaboration network analysis were utilized to clarify the basic publication status, main knowledge producers, and knowledge collaboration networks in adolescent e-cigarette use research. Secondly, a co-citation network analysis was performed to visually analyze the disciplinary characteristics and 'hot topics' in this field. Finally, keyword burst detection and clustering techniques were employed to further explain the development trends and frontiers of research on adolescent e-cigarette use.
A total of 2063 research articles and review articles were included in this study. Research on adolescent e-cigarette use has significantly increased from 2002 to 2024. The United States, the United Kingdom and Canada are the main contributors, with their institutions and researchers playing key roles in the international collaborative network. Current research increasingly adopts interdisciplinary approaches. Keyword co-occurrence and burst identified current research 'hotspots' including vaping, substance use, public policy, prevention, advertising, and cessation. Co-citation cluster analysis revealed promising research areas such as attractiveness, environment and health, accessibility and smoking behavior, and mental health.
Through data mining and visualization techniques, this study provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of published work on e-cigarettes and adolescence. The results of this work offer references for researchers in future investigations.
全球青少年电子烟使用率持续上升，给公共卫生带来新挑战，并对青少年健康产生负面影响。本研究采用文献计量学方法，系统呈现全球青少年电子烟使用研究的现状和发展趋势。
本研究使用CiteSpace对来自Web of Science（WoS）核心合集数据库中与青少年电子烟使用相关的文章进行文献计量分析。首先，利用绩效分析和合作网络分析来阐明青少年电子烟使用研究的基本发表状况、主要知识生产者和知识合作网络。其次，进行共被引网络分析，以直观分析该领域的学科特征和“热点话题”。最后，采用关键词突现检测和聚类技术，进一步阐释青少年电子烟使用研究的发展趋势和前沿。
本研究共纳入2063篇研究文章和综述文章。2002年至2024年期间，青少年电子烟使用研究显著增加。美国、英国和加拿大是主要贡献者，其机构和研究人员在国际合作网络中发挥关键作用。当前研究越来越多地采用跨学科方法。关键词共现和突现确定了当前研究的“热点”，包括电子烟吸食、物质使用、公共政策、预防、广告和戒烟。共被引聚类分析揭示了有前景的研究领域，如吸引力、环境与健康、可及性与吸烟行为以及心理健康。
通过数据挖掘和可视化技术，本研究对已发表的电子烟与青少年相关研究进行了全面的文献计量分析。这项工作的结果为研究人员未来的调查提供了参考。
