Global Health Diplomacy and Governance: Mapping and Future Trends.

ABSTRACT

This study evaluates global health diplomacy and governance by performing bibliometric analysis to investigate the current publication trends, authors and keywords-based clusters, research trends, author's productivity, and future research areas. The analysis results suggest that global health diplomacy has garnered attention only in developed countries and has been researched negligibly in developing countries. The research in this field increases after the onset of pandemics such as Swine Flu and COVID-19. Authors kickbush and lee are the most influential authors based on their h index. The identified future research areas are "International laws" and "Social Determinants of Health."
