description Evapotranspiration (ET) is a key link between atmospheric processes and land surface hydrological processes. With the impact of global warming and human activities, research on ET has become a hot topic. Supported by a total of 1,222 Chinese and English literatures from China National Knowledge Infrastructure and the Web of Science Core Collection from 2013 to 2022, this paper adopts the bibliometric visualization method to review the current research progress and future trend of ET with respect to the time of publication, countries, institutions, journals, and research hotspots. The results show that the number of related research articles is increasing rapidly and the journals with high citations are Journal of Hydrology, Agricultural and Forest Meteorology and Agricultural Water Management. The research hotspots have been focused on prototype observation, remote sensing inversion, mechanism equation, model simulation, spatial–temporal analysis, and attribution identification. In the future, there is an urgent need to integrate algorithms such as machine learning and artificial intelligence, to develop higher resolution remote sensing products, to improve the mechanism equations based on precise observations, and to clarify the impact of synergistic effects on ET among the driving factors. HIGHLIGHTS This study adopts the bibliometric method to systematically sort out the domestic and international articles on evapotranspiration.; The mechanism equations and remote sensing products of evapotranspiration were systematically summarized.; Spatial–temporal analysis and attribution identification methods of evapotranspiration have been summarized.; This study can be a guideline for future research on evapotranspiration.;
