Core Tip

Core Tip: Visual hallucination (VH) is very common and research on VH keeps emerging. In this review, CiteSpace V was used to objectively summarize the features of VH research and gain insights into the emerging trends for research on VH. Publication outputs, document types, geographic distributions, co-authorship status, research hotspots, and co-citation status were analyzed.
