In this study, a systematic bibliometric analysis of 1444 publications (2005–2024) from the Web of Science Core Collection was conducted to explore the literature on the effects of NIs on soil nitrogen. The research structure and collaborative patterns were visualized using CiteSpace and VOSviewer, through dual-map overlay of journals, country collaboration maps, and institutional/author cooperation networks, revealing the global distribution of research capabilities and scientific partnerships. Through topic clustering of research institutions and overlay analysis of disciplinary domains, hotspot fields in NIs-related soil nitrogen studies were identified. Furthermore, co-citation network clustering, keyword co-occurrence analysis, timeline views, and burst detection methods were used to decipher research trends, focal topics, and emerging frontiers. The findings provide critical insights and guidance for future investigations into the ecological effects and applications of NIs in sustainable soil nitrogen management.
