Core Tip

Core Tip: A total of 1045 publications explored the development of epilepsy and depression. Our study integrated bibliometric information to analyze the most influential authorships, countries, institutions, journals of publication, co-citations of references, connections between keywords, clusters of keywords, and keywords with citation bursts in the field of epilepsy and depression research. We then identified future hot topics and directions in the field of epilepsy and depression.
