Abstract

This study aimed to look at the bibliometric trends and visualization of the concept of ageing in place in the ageing research. The concept of “ageing in place” (AIP) has received substantial attention in the gerontological literature over the last 30 years. The idea behind the concept of ‘ageing in place’ is that helping older people to stay in their own home or familiar environment as long as possible and it has a positive impact on the wellbeing and quality of life of older people and contributes to positive experiences in later life A bibliometric analysis is crucial for exploring the field’s intellectual structure, identifying interdisciplinary collaborations, and tracking the knowledge flow across disciplines and will facilitate cross-disciplinary dialogue, foster collaboration, and encourage research that integrates diverse perspectives. This study analysed a dataset of 1113 publications retrieved from the Scopus, which were peer reviewed, English language and published between 2000 and 2025. This study applied trend analysis as well as performance analysis using R Studio Biblioshiny package, and utilized VOSviewer for science mapping which included co-authorship analysis, co-occurrence keywords analysis, citations analysis, co-citation analysis and bibliographic coupling to visualize the intellectual structure and evolving research themes in the form of bibliometric maps. The research findings showed that there has been significant increase in the number of publications between 2000 and 2025 and particularly, after 2010, the volume of publications increased rapidly. In the terms of document based on author, the author Greenfield, E.A. has the maximum number of publication and Wiles, JL’s works in this area has been mostly cited. In document types by affiliation, research publications from University of California had maximum number of publications. In the types of documents based on the journal, Ageing and Society has been the most influential journal. In terms of documents types by country and region, United States of America (USA) has the maximum publications as well as the citations in this field. The results provided a direction or roadmap for researchers, policy makers, and practitioners worldwide who focused on ageing in place. Moreover, the maximum research on ageing in place has been found in the European and North American countries, few research on this concept were found in Asian and African countries, therefore more such studies are required in the such countries which is important for the well being of the older adults.
