Core Tip

Core Tip: We systematically analyzed the global scientific contributions in the field of hepatic organoids research through a meticulous bibliometric assessment. We constructed a mapping knowledge domain to visualize the achievements of hepatic organoid research, including global scientific output, active journals, prolific countries, institutions, and authors, as well as the historical progression of the research field.
