Abstract

This bibliometric analysis examines global research trends in organ donation, using data from 813 articles extracted from the Scopus database. Organ donation remains a crucial area of study, involving ethical, cultural, and medical challenges that influence public policy, healthcare practices, and donor participation worldwide. However, despite its significance, there is limited understanding of how research on this topic is distributed globally, particularly regarding collaborative networks and keyword usage. This study addresses that gap by analyzing publication volume, keyword patterns, and country-based co-authorship. Using Scopus Analyzer and VOSviewer software, thematic clusters were identified, highlighting frequent keywords such as "ethics," "organ transplantation," and "informed consent," which collectively reveal a strong focus on ethical and procedural dimensions of organ donation. Analysis of co-authorship patterns revealed that the United States (US) leads in research output and international collaboration, followed by the United Kingdom (UK), Canada, and Germany, each contributing region-specific insights into ethical, cultural, and policy aspects. The high citation rates for countries like the US and the UK suggest these regions are central to shaping global discourse. Overall, the findings emphasize a need for greater global collaboration to address the diverse ethical and cultural contexts of organ donation, ultimately aiming to bridge gaps in donor availability and foster equitable healthcare policies worldwide. This bibliometric study offers a comprehensive overview of current research patterns, providing insights that may inform future studies and international initiatives in organ donation research.
