摘　　要：Background: Plant-based diets are eating patterns focusing on high intake of plant-basedfoods while limiting the intake of animal-based foods. In recent decades, plant-based dietshave received increasing attention for their potential benefits for humans and theenvironment. However, a comprehensive overview of the development trends and researchhotspots of plant-based diets is still lacking. Therefore, this scientometric study aimed to fillthis critical research gap. Methods: English literature related to plant-based diets publishedfrom 2012 to 2023 in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) of Web of Science CoreCollection was collected on August 16, 2023, using relevant key terms. R-bibliometrix,CiteSpace, and VOSviewer were used to analyze data and construct knowledge graphs.Results: Overall, 4135 publications (3127 articles and 1008 reviews) were included in thisstudy, showing an obvious upward trend in this field annually from 2012 to 2023, rangingfrom 70 to 921. The USA published the highest number of studies (n =1158) and was theleading research center in this field worldwide. Universities were the main researchinstitutions;particularly, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health contributed to thelargest number of publications (n = 88) and had an active cooperation with otherinstitutions. Mcclements DJ contributed the most publications (n = 49) and ranked firstamong the scholars in plant-based diets. The most productive academic journal (n = 353)on plant-based diets was Nutrients, with an IF2022 of 5.9, while Foods and Frontiers in Nutritionwere the relatively active journals in this field in recent years. “Quality,” “milk,” “culturedmeat,” “plant protein,” “environmental impacts,” “functional properties,” “plant-based meatalternative,” “dietary change,” “vegan diet,” “plant-based beverage,” “gut microbiota,”“middle-income countries,” and “chronic kidney disease” were the main research hotspotsand frontiers in the field of plant-based diets.
