Abstract:

Objective  To provide references by analyzing the history, hotspot, and trend of the research in body donation.    Methods  CiteSpace software was used to conduct a co-occurrence network analysis. Totally 196 articles in CNKI database and 114 articles in Web of Science Core Collection Database were included.    Results  The number of articles in China increased in recent years. “Political and legal organizations” and “medical schools and departments” were main research institutions. “Death”, “donation attitude”, “ethics”, and “humanity educations” were new emerging research directions in recent years. National studies of body donation were mainly conducted by USA and New Zealand, while most institutions were universities. High frequency keywords were “dissection”, “cadaver”, “anatomy”   Conclusion  Research in body donation in China shows a trend of increasing depth and diversity, while most research still lacks innovation and cooperation compared to national studies, especially studies in legislation and human ethics of body donation.

Key words: Body donation, Body bequest, Development trend, Hotspot, CiteSpace
