Introduction: With the global prevalence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), an increasing number of people are experiencing respiratory discomfort. Respiratory biomechanics can monitor breathing patterns and respiratory movements and it is easier to prevent, diagnose, treat or rehabilitate. However, there is still a lack of global knowledge structure in the field of respiratory biomechanics. With the help of CiteSpace software, we aim to help researchers identify potential collaborators and collaborating institutions, hotspots and research frontiers in respiratory biomechanics. Methods: Articles on respiratory biomechanics from 2003 to 2022 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection by using a specific strategy, resulting a total of 2,850 publications. We used CiteSpace 6.1.R6 to analyze the year of publication, journal/journals cited, country, institution, author/authors cited, references, keywords and research trends. Co-citation maps were created to visually observe research hot spots and knowledge structures. Results and discussion: The number of annual publications gradually increased over the past 20 years. Medical Physics published the most articles and had the most citations in this study. The United States was the most influential country, with the highest number and centrality of publications. The most productive and influential institution was Harvard University in the United States. Keall PJ was the most productive author and MCCLELLAND JR was the...
