Abstract

Background: With the aging of the population and the rise in obesity and injury rates, the prevalence of osteoarthritis (OA) is increasing annually. Therefore, it is necessary to study experimental OA models. Methods: From January 1, 2000 to November 25, 2023, articles on the selection of experimental OA models from the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) were collected. CiteSpace was used to analyze countries or regions, institutions, authors, bursting keywords, and references. Co-authorship, co-journal, and keyword co-occurrence visual analyses were performed using VOSviewer. Results: An analysis of 3,206 articles found that the annual volume of articles showed a rapid growth trend. The United States leads in terms of number of publications (1,039), total citations (29,844), h-index (77), and intermediary centrality (0.24), showing the journal with the most articles on Osteoarthritis and Cartilage. The emerging keywords stem cell, cartilage repair, and oxidative stress from 2019 to 2023 reflect the current study hotspots. Conclusion: This study comprehensively summarizes the research progress of OA model selection and evaluation criteria using bibliometric analysis, and provides a valuable reference for further establishing OA standard models, evaluation criteria, and researchers in this field.
