PurposeTo reveal the research hotpots and relationship among three research hot topics in biomedicine, namely CRISPR, i PS (induced Pluripotent Stem) cell and Synthetic biology.Design/methodology/approachWe set up their keyword co-occurrence networks with using three indicators and information visualization for metric analysis.FindingsThe results reveal the main research hotspots in the three topics are different, but the overlapping keywords in the three topics indicate that they are mutually integrated and interacted each other.Research limitationsAll analyses use keywords, without any other forms.Practical implicationsWe try to find the information distribution and structure of these three hot topics for revealing their research status and interactions, and for promoting biomedical developments.Originality/valueWe chose the core keywords in three research hot topics in biomedicine by using h-index.
