In the context of global aging, more and more scholars have begun to study retirement communities. However, there is a lack of scientometrics to explore this field's research overview and frontiers. This research aimed to use scientometrics to reveal the overview and frontiers of research on retirement communities.In this paper, we used a scientometric approach, using the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) as the database, and obtained a research overview by systematically organizing the data from WoSCC; we used CiteSpace to analyze the co-cited references and discovered the research frontiers.
The results of the research showed that between 1992 and 2022, WoSCC published 914 related papers, and as of July 18, 2023, these papers have been cited a total of 28,701 times, with an average of 31.4 citations per paper and an H-index of 83. Highly productive authors were Ayalon, L., Resnick, B., Bennett, D.A., Paganini-Hill, A., Royall, D.R. Highly productive institutions were the University of California System, the University System of Maryland, and the Us Department of Veterans Affairs. Highly productive countries (regions) were the USA, Canada, China, Israel, and Australia. Major research areas contained Geriatrics Gerontology, Public Environmental Occupational Health, Nursing, Psychiatry, and Psychology. 2018-2022 co-cited reference network presented five high-quality clusters (Q=0.8239; S=0.9537).The conclusions of this research are twofold. 1 Research overview: The retirement community field is becoming increasingly active, with an overall high quality of papers. However, there is a clear imbalance in research, mainly in terms of prolific authors, institutions, countries (regions), and research areas. 2 There are three main research frontiers: (1) adult day care center (ADCC); (2) scoping review; (3) naturally occurring retirement community (NORC).
