Keywords:
Heat stress, bibliometric analysis, VOSviewer, research hotspotsAbstract
Climate change has placed heat stress at the forefront of global concerns, leading to a surge in research activity, particularly in areas like physiological responses and adaptation strategies. This bibliometric analysis, focusing on publications within 2022 to 2024 (until May 2024) retrieved from the established Scopus database, aims to map the intellectual landscape of heat stress research. By examining publication trends, authorship patterns, and frequently cited keywords, the study seeks to unveil the field's underlying structure and identify emerging frontiers, such as the potential impact of heat stress on mental health. This analysis, while acknowledging limitations inherent to bibliometric methods, is expected to provide valuable insights into the evolution of heat stress research, highlighting areas of focus and potential knowledge gaps. These findings will inform researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders about future research directions, potentially guiding efforts towards developing heat mitigation strategies in a warming world
