Bibliometric Study of tDCS in Depression Research, 2000-2025

From 2000 to 2025, this dataset contains bibliometric analysis results for research on transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for depression. It was created by Dongyu Feng and last updated in May 2026. The data aggregates publication records from Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed, analyzing trends, collaborations, and keyword evolution.

Use Cases

• Mapping research hotspots and thematic evolution based on keyword co-occurrence analysis mentioned in the description
• Analyzing international collaboration networks based on country and institution contributions described
• Identifying highly cited studies and leading publication venues based on citation and journal analysis
• Tracking publication growth trends over time, including acceleration after 2020

Strengths

• Aggregates data from three major bibliographic databases: Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed.
• Covers a 25-year time range from 2000 to 2025.
• Analysis includes multiple dimensions: publication trends, collaboration networks, keyword co-occurrence, and citation analysis.

Limitations
