Main Article Content
Abstract
In the context of global aging, the study of retirement communities has attracted the attention of scholars. However, there needs to be more systematic bibliometric studies. This study aims to sort out the current research status of the retirement community and explore research trends. This study adopts a bibliometric approach, using the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) as a database, VOSviewer to analyze research collaboration networks, and CiteSpace to analyze keyword co-occurrences. The study’s conclusion showed that the significant scholars are Ayalon, Resnick, Bennett, Royall, Courtin, and Knapp. The major journals are the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, Gerontologist, and Journal of Applied Gerontology.The main research areas are Geriatrics Gerontology, Public Environmental Occupational Health, and Nursing. The primary research countries are the United States, Canada, and China, with the United States leading the way. The study found that the author’s research collaboration network was more active, with Bolling as the bridge author. Institutional collaboration networks were also active, with the University of Washington’s research collaboration network being the most prominent. The research collaboration networks between countries (regions) needed to be more expensive. There are three possible research trends in retirement community research: (1). naturally occurring retirement community (NORC); (2). aging in place; (3). continuing care retirement community (CCRC); (4). physical activity.
