Visualizing Knowledge Evolution of Emerging Information Technologies in Chronic Diseases Research

To provide knowledge support and reference for scholars in technologies and data-driven chronic disease research, investigated knowledge base, research hotspots, development status and concluded future research directions in chronic disease research driven by emerging technologies. We conducted a bibliometric analysis based on 4820 literature data collected from the Web of Science core collection during 2000–2017. The time distribution, space distribution, literature co-citation were analyzed and visualized, the dynamic process of research hotspots in this research filed was revealed, and future development trends were discussed.
