The objective is to elucidate the collaboration and current research status in the pediatric field of fNIRS using bibliometric analysis, and to discuss future directions.
Bibliometric analysis was conducted on publications related to pediatric fNIRS research published before June 2024 in the Web of Science Core Collection using VOSviewer software and R language.
A total of 761 documents were retrieved, published by 2,686 authors from 893 institutions across 44 countries in 239 journals. The number of publications has significantly increased since 2012. The United States is the country with the highest number of publications, University College London is the institution with the most publications, Lloyd-Fox Sarah is the author with the most publications and significant influence, and "Neurophotonics" is the journal with the most publications. The current hotspots mainly involve using fNIRS to study executive functions and autism spectrum disorders in children.
The study provides useful reference information for researchers by analyzing publication numbers, collaborative networks, publishing journals, and research hotspots. In the future, there should be an emphasis on enhancing interdisciplinary and international collaboration to collectively dedicate efforts toward the advancement of fNIRS technology and the standardization of research.
通过文献计量分析阐明功能近红外光谱（fNIRS）在儿科领域的合作情况及当前研究现状，并探讨未来方向。
使用VOSviewer软件和R语言，对科学网核心合集中2024年6月前发表的与儿科fNIRS研究相关的文献进行文献计量分析。
共检索到761篇文献，由来自44个国家893个机构的2686位作者发表在239种期刊上。自2012年以来，发表数量显著增加。美国是发表数量最多的国家，伦敦大学学院是发表文献最多的机构，劳埃德 - 福克斯·莎拉是发表文献最多且具有重大影响力的作者，《神经光子学》是发表文献最多的期刊。当前热点主要涉及使用fNIRS研究儿童的执行功能和自闭症谱系障碍。
该研究通过分析发表数量、合作网络、发表期刊和研究热点，为研究人员提供了有用的参考信息。未来，应强调加强跨学科和国际合作，共同致力于fNIRS技术的进步和研究的标准化。
