目的：通过文献计量学方法分析间歇性外斜视的研究现状和未来发展趋势。

方法：检索2003-2022年Web of Science数据库核心合集中收录的文献计量学相关文献，运用文献计量学方法，使用CiteSpace6.2.R2软件对年发文量、国家、机构、杂志、作者、参考文献和关键词进行可视化分析。

结果：2003-2022年共检索到620篇间歇性外斜视相关文献，年发文量呈稳定增加的趋势。韩国和美国为发文量最多的国家，最具有生产力的机构为梅奥诊所。发文量最多的作者为Holmes JM。刊文量最多的期刊是The Journal of American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus(J AAPOS)(共计78篇文献)。关键词和突现词分析可总结出目前该领域的研究热点为间歇性外斜视的手术治疗、流行病学、正位、复发。

结论：应用CiteSpace软件进行可视化分析，可客观反映出2003-2022年间歇性外斜视文献数量变化及分布情况，间歇性外斜视的研究热点已从其手术和流行病学逐渐转移到融合和复发等方面。

METHODS: Bibliometrics methods were used and the related literatures in the Web of Science Core Collection(WoSCC)database from 2003 to 2022 were retrieved. CiteSpace6.2.R2 software was used to conduct visualized analysis of publications of one year, countries, institutions, journals, authors, references and keywords.

RESULTS: A total of 620 literatures on IXT were retrieved from 2003 to 2022, and there has been a progressive increase in the number of publications. South Korea and the United States, Mayo Clinc and Holmes JM were the most productive and impactful country, institution and author, respectively. The Journal of American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus(J AAPOS)published the most manuscripts(78 publications). The keywords with the strongest citation burst were surgery, epidemiology, alignment and recurrence.

CONCLUSION: Visualized analysis conducted by CiteSpace software could objectively show the quantity changes and distribution of literatures on IXT from 2003 to 2022. Furthermore, the research hotspot of IXT has gradually shifted from surgery and epidemiology to fusion and recurrence.
