Abstract
ABSTRACT Bibliometric citation analyses have been widely used in medicine to help researchers gain foundational knowledge about a topic. The purpose of this study is to analyze the 100 most-cited articles in art therapy to determine their characteristics and to reveal the influential articles in this field. This applied and scientometric study was conducted using retrospective bibliometric and co-occurrence analysis (by VOSviewer software). One hundred of the most-cited articles in the field of art therapy were retrieved from Scopus and analyzed. In this article, the most productive journals, authors, countries, and institutions in producing the 100 most-cited articles were introduced. The co-occurrence maps showed that keywords including cancer, Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia, dementing disorders, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder had larger nodes. Moreover, depression, life quality, anxiety, and stress were among other studied concepts. This finding indicates the positive effect of art therapy in the treatment of various diseases, particularly cancers and mental disorders.
