description Alzheimer's disease (AD) has attracted considerable attention from the public and scientific researchers, leading to a rapid growth in relevant research on this disorder in the last 10 years. The present study aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis to elucidate the trends of global research on the role of apolipoprotein E in AD in the past decade. Three bibliometric software (CiteSpace, VOSviewer, and R Bibliometrix) were used to analyze the active journals, countries/regions, institutes, authors, co-cited references, and keywords in this field. The USA was the most influential country, and the University of California was the most productive institute. Zetterberg H contributed the highest number of publications, and Petersen RC was the most cited author in this field. On the basis of the co-cited reference analysis, knowledge base on biomarkers, risk factors, and mechanisms were updated in the past decade. Current research hotspots are shifting to tau-related mechanisms and identification of genetic risk factors. Our study provides insights into the developing knowledge base and trends related to research on apolipoprotein E in AD, which may provide new directions for further research in this field.
