Objective　To analyze the current situation

research trends

and hotspots of geriatrics education in SCI database by scientometric measurement

and to draw a panoramic map of geriatrics teaching and research. Methods　The Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) database via Web of Science and made usual bibliometric analyses. The co-authorship networks across authors and institutions were studied by VOS viewer software

the research hotspots

the network of co-occurring keywords and the keyword co-occurrence cluster were analyzed using the keywords and the log-likelihood ratio (LLR) weighting algorithm to label the clusters. Results　This study included 645 papers. The teaching research of geriatrics is relatively less and the distribution is extremely uneven across countries. Most related papers are written by American scholars. In general

the study number is increasing over time but fluctuates greatly from year to year. Most relevant studies are conducted by authors in the USA. The University of California System

Icahn School Medicine at Mount Sinai

and State University System of Florida are the most productive institutions. Journal of the American Geriatrics Society

Gerontologist

Educational Gerontology are the core journals. Simpson D

Denson K

and Clark PG are the most productive authors. The research hotspots is involving over time

and such directions as curriculum tutor

global collaboration

and new curriculum initiation are the current research hotspots

which have been cited more than 200 times. Conclusion　This study depicts a panoramic map of the international geriatric teaching research

which would provide valuable reference for subsequent related research.
