Abstract

Understanding the status, hotspots, and development trends of “Internet Plus medical health” research at home and abroad. When exploring academic resource retrieval, the core resource sets of CNKI and WoS can be used as the starting point for search. it includes the “Internet Plus medical health “related documents published from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2023, Use Citespace5.7.
