Based on the country analysis, the United States has become an active publisher, followed by China and Australia. Importantly, this study emphasised the scholarly communication practices prevalent in safety motivation research have impressively propagated. The trends will assist researchers in recognising the various fields in identifying the core areas, proactive institutions, and core source titles published in this knowledge for supplementary investigation.
