Bibliometric Analysis of Mobile Health for COPD Research, 2000–2025

A bibliometric analysis of 1,177 publications and 119 clinical trials related to mobile health for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), covering the period from 2000 to 2025. The data was compiled by Yubei Liu and published on figshare in 2026. It maps research trends, leading journals, countries, institutions, and emerging topics like AI and IoT in COPD care.

Use Cases

• Mapping research trends and hotspots in COPD mobile health based on keyword and citation analysis.
• Identifying leading institutions and authors in the field based on publication and citation counts.
• Analyzing the evolution of research priorities, such as the shift towards AI and remote monitoring, based on temporal keyword trends.

Strengths

• Includes 1,177 publications and 119 clinical trials, providing a defined corpus for analysis.
• Covers a 25-year time range (2000–2025), allowing for longitudinal trend analysis.
• Analysis was performed using established bibliometric tools (CiteSpace, VOSviewer) and followed the BIBLIO checklist.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 30.3 KB document; the underlying bibliographic data is not provided in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the analysis document.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the source databases (Web of Science, PubMed).
