Studies on HIV/AIDS among Students: Bibliometric Analysis
ABSTRACT
Background:
In recent years, HIV infection among students has been a continuing concern around the world. A great number of articles have been published, however, comprehensive bibliometrics research is still lacking.
Objective:
The purpose of this study is to analyze studies on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) / acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) among students globally from 1991 to 2021 and reveal the hot spots and frontiers through bibliometric analysis software.
Methods:
Studies on HIV/AIDS among students were retrieved from the web of science core collection (WoSCC). We used CiteSpace to generate networks of collaboration between countries, institutions, and authors and to reveal hot spots and frontiers of research.
Results:
A total of 426 articles were retrieved, and 420 studies were included for analysis after cleaning. In general, the number of publications has increased over the past three decades. The USA (164) was the core country, and the State University System of Florida (15) was the leading institution. Tung W was the most prolific author. Hot spots are mainly knowledge, attitude, risk behavior, prevention, and health education. In the future, for men who have sex with men (MSM), HIV/AIDS intervention and prevention will be the focus of attention.
Conclusions:
The overall number of studies on HIV/AIDS among students tends to grow steadily. In the future, MSM will attract more attention, and HIV/AIDS intervention and prevention will be the focus of studies. However, academic communication still needs to be improved in this area. The current findings provide research hot spots and trends on HIV/AIDS among students and valuable information for researchers to identify new points with potential collaborators.
