Abstract
In order to understand the research trend and key fields of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), a bibliometric analysis was conducted based on the Web of Science database and Bibliometrix. This study gives a comprehensive overview of the Real Estate Investment Trusts research according to annual output, publishing journals, institutions, authors, re-search fields and temporal trends in keywords. The Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics and Real Estate Economics are the most popular journals for researchers to publish research results. These two journals also have greater influence in this field and have more citations than other journals. State University System Of Florida is the institution with the most research achievements. Seen from the number of papers, C. F. Sirmans, Chinmoy Ghosh and Ong Seow Eng are the most competitive authors. Keyword analysis shows that "risk" and "return" are the most frequently studied topics by researchers. Through literature review, a REITs process model was established to help researchers understand and analyze the target process in depth while grasping the research progress of REITs.
