Virtual Reality in Health Care: Bibliometric Analysis
Inferred edges come from two machine sources: sweeps of open repository
metadata (mostly SSRN and Zenodo), and a bulk OpenAlex citation snapshot. Every row below is
labelled with the one it came from. Neither is a complete citation index — absence here is not
evidence of absence.
1 of the 84 references listed on this page is in the Retraction Watch database as retracted (export 2026-11-11): 10.1155/2021/6645515 (notice 2023-10-11).
