Objective To carried a bibliometric analysis of the related researches on radiation-induced fibrosis in China, and provide some theoretical support for the corresponding research in future clinical work. Methods Searching the literatures related to radiation-induced fibrosis published from the establishment of China journal full-text database to January 15, 2022 were searched, and conducting statistical analysis on the time, journals, institutions, authors, citations, keywords, and research content of their publications combined with Citespace. Results A total of 37 papers were included, of which the earliest was published in 2003; the papers were sourced from 29 journals and 44 institutions; 69 authors were included in the included papers; 3 were funded by funds, and the research content was mainly about radiation pulmonary fibrosis, ionizing radiation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (emt), etc. Conclusion At present, there are few studies on radiation-induced fibrosis in our country, and the distribution of research journals is relatively scattered. But it is closely related to ionizing radiation and cells, and it is unknown whether it may become an emerging research hotspot. At present, more evidence-based medical exploration is needed.
