摘要

Rapid advances in molecular biology, analytical chemistry, and plant biotechnology have substantially reshaped research on Phoenix dactylifera, particularly in arid and semi-arid regions. To capture these developments, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of 546 Scopus-indexed publications published from 2000 to 2025 was conducted to evaluate global research trends, thematic evolution, and collaborative patterns. Publication output increased markedly after 2015, with strong growth in studies related to food quality, bioactive compounds, stress resilience, and crop protection, reflecting rising concerns for nutrition, climate adaptation, and sustainable production. Research contributions are dominated by the Middle East and North Africa, alongside notable inputs from Europe, South Asia, and North America, although collaboration networks remain fragmented. Keyword evolution reveals a transition from descriptive chemistry toward integrated molecular and applied research, while inter-field connectivity highlights increasing convergence among applied research areas. Extending artificial intelligence (AI)-driven research intelligence approaches to date palm science could enable dynamic mapping of global research activity, automated detection of emerging themes, collaboration-aware recommendations, and adaptive decision-support tools to accelerate innovation and sustainability-oriented research.
