摘要

The current study conducts extensive bibliometric analysis of pharmacology bibliometric publications worldwide during 2015–April 15, 2026. The objective of this study was to explore publication trends, contributors, and research hotspots. The search process was conducted using the Scopus database, with analysis being performed using the VOSviewer software. In total, 1014 articles were selected out of 1242 studies. The yearly publication count has risen significantly from 23 in 2015 to 280 in 2025, representing approximately 12 times more publications, while total citation count amounted to 14,984 citations, with a maximum citation count of 3922 in 2025. Geographical distribution demonstrated China as the leading producer with 419 publications, while the second and third places belong to the USA (104) and India (96). However, the USA leads in terms of collaboration intensity. Journals with the highest number of published papers include Frontiers in Pharmacology, with 43 articles and 786 citations. The keyword co-occurrence analysis reveals the presence of key topics such as drug therapy, oxidative stress, inflammation, and bibliometric analysis. Emerging topics include artificial intelligence and machine learning. The results of collaboration network analysis show growing globalization trends, although regional differences remain significant.
