TL;DR
A bibliometric review delineates the research trajectory and hotspots in RASP and offers a reference for future study planning, resource allocation, and evidence-based practice.
To characterize how the evidence base has developed, English-language RASP publications indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection through 18 June 2026 were mapped to indicate publication growth, contributor and collaboration patterns, citation foundations, and changing research themes.
