The aim of this study was to determine the characteristics of the Essential Science Indicators (ESI) hot papers on vaccine research and to provide a summary of the hot spots and development trends in the field. A systematic and comprehensive search for literature on vaccine research was conducted in the Web of Science Core Collection, and 81 ESI hot papers were obtained. A total of 81 ESI Hot Papers from 51 journals were identified in the domain of vaccines, of which 93.8% were highly cited. The United States emerged as the predominant nation in the field, contributing to 65.43% of the identified hot papers and 74.19% of the cited hot papers. The institutions with the highest number of hot papers and citations were from the United States and the United Kingdom. The analysis of collaboration networks revealed extensive research partnerships within the United States. A significant proportion of the ESI Hot Papers, amounting to 81.5%, was published in leading journals. The most prevalent keywords included infection, vaccine, and Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVD-19). The analysis provided insights into vaccine research trends, helping clinicians and researchers quickly identify hot information in the field and facilitating vaccine application and development.
本研究旨在确定疫苗研究领域基本科学指标（ESI）热点论文的特征，并总结该领域的热点和发展趋势。在科学网核心合集数据库中对疫苗研究文献进行了系统全面的检索，共获得81篇ESI热点论文。在疫苗领域共识别出51种期刊的81篇ESI热点论文，其中93.8%被高引用。美国成为该领域的主要国家，占已识别热点论文的65.43%，被引用热点论文的74.19%。热点论文和被引用次数最多的机构来自美国和英国。合作网络分析显示美国国内存在广泛的研究合作关系。相当比例（81.5%）的ESI热点论文发表在顶尖期刊上。最常见的关键词包括感染、疫苗和2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）。该分析为疫苗研究趋势提供了见解，有助于临床医生和研究人员快速识别该领域的热点信息，并促进疫苗的应用和开发。
