The question
A scientific mapping study examining the literature on virtual reality in health science education.
The approach
Bibliometric analysis of 4,369 articles from the Web of Science Core Collection (2004–2024), using VOSviewer, CiteSpace and Excel to examine publication trends, collaboration networks and thematic patterns.
What the paper reports
The paper connects virtual reality research with questions in health science education, public health and digital therapeutics.
Reading in context
Consult the article for its search scope, bibliometric methods and interpretation. A literature map does not itself establish the effectiveness of a particular learning environment.
This short reading note summarises the linked publication. The published article is the source for the study design, results, author contributions and limitations.
