Abstract
This study conducted a bibliometric network analysis to analyze the knowledge structure of community integrated care in Korea since 2018. Analyzing 230 KCI-indexed articles (2018-2025), Key clusters emerged around ‘elderly’ and ‘aging in place,’ including ‘policy implementation,’ ‘service linkage,’ and ‘deinstitutionalization.’ However, research focused heavily on the elderly, with other groups like the disabled relatively sidelined. Co-authorship analysis revealed small clusters around core researchers but overall weak connectivity, suggesting insufficient interdisciplinary collaboration despite the field’s integrative nature. These findings provide a foundational basis for future cross-disciplinary cooperation and policy linkage.
