Abstract：Objective:To analyze the global research competition and collaboration landscape in the field of organoids.Methods:In January 2024,papers related to organoids were retrieved from database of Web of Science.Through co-citation analysis,bibliometric analysis,and social network analysis,research hotspots,leading countries,institutions,and researchers were identified.Results:Since 1990,a total of 10 477 scientific papers have been published globally in the field of organoids,with 82.4%published since 2018.Researches have primarily focused on the construction of organoids related to tumors,liver and kidney,intestinal epithelium,human brain,and retina.The United States leads both the publications(4632 papers)and collaboration partners(75),as well as instances(3405).China ranks second in terms of publications(1970 papers);however,its number of collaboration partners(54)and instances(1 194)are far lower than those reported by the United States.At the institutional level,Harvard University leads in terms of publications(534 papers),collaboration partners(347),and instances(1 495).Other high-ranking institutions outside the U.S.include the Chinese Academy of Sciences,Utrecht University in the Netherlands,Cambridge University in the UK,and the German Cancer Research Center.Professor Hans Clevers from the Netherlands is noted for having published the highest number of papers,while in China,significant contributions have been made by research teams led by Jianhua Qin and Guoqiang Hua.Conclusion:The field of organoids has experienced rapid development over the past decade,with numerous studies focused on the construction of organoids for various applications,including tumors,liver,intestine,brain,and retina.The U.S.holds a dominant position,while China is an important participant in international collaboration.Harvard University stands out as a global collaboration hub,while institutions from China,the Netherlands,the UK,and Germany serve as regional hubs.
