Core Tip
Core Tip: This is the first bibliometric analysis of research relating to transcranial magnetic stimulation-based depression treatment in the past decade. Between 2003 and 2022, the United States was the leading country, in both the number of outputs and international collaborations. The University of Toronto and Daskalakis ZJ were the most productive institution and author, respectively. Theta burst stimulation and functional connectivity are current research hotspots.
