Abstract: Using visual bibliometric analysis software CiteSpace (6.2.R4) and VOSviewer (version 1.6.19), the application and development of radiation sensitive gene detection in biodosimetry are summarized. Articles and reviews related to this field published between 2000 and 2023 were selected from Web of Science Core Collection and CNKI to analyze authors, institutions, journals, references and keywords in this field. The results of WOS database showed that from 2000 to 2023, the total of papers on radiation sensitive gene detection as a biodosimetry increased from 3 to 297. The United States topped the list in this field and China ranked the seventh. Radiation Research, International Journal of Radiation Biology, Scientific Reports, Health Physics were the most important journals in this field also had high co-citation frequency. Keyword cluster analysis showed that research focused on the damage-repair of DNA, apoptosis, p53 signaling pathway, in vivo-in vitro tests, and biodosimetry model systems. The co-cited references analysis showed that the application of FDXR gene detection as a biodosimetry have become the hotspot of this field. The CNKI database analysis showed that the dose-response relationship of genes (MDM2, GADD45, XPC, FDXR, HPRT) were main direction of studying in this field in China. At the same time, it is suggested that gene cluster examination is the future research direction of gene detection as biodosimetry.

Key words: radiation sensitive gene, biodosimetry, bibliometric
