Review and bibliometric analysis of research on herbal medicine for inflammation between 2004 and 2023
Abstract
The study aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis to examine patterns and trends observed in scientific articles on using herbal anti-inflammatory agents. Data were gathered from the Scopus database. In total, 121 articles on herbal anti-inflammatory drugs were examined through bibliometric analysis using the (RStudio®) and VOSviewer application. In the Scopus database, 121 articles on using herbal remedies to treat inflammation were included in this study. Moreover, China has produced the most research articles. The Journal of Ethnopharmacology, Molecules, and Molecules are the three most-read journals. The Journal of Ethnopharmacology demonstrates the highest level of productivity based on its citation count and h-index. Regarding publications on this topic, Li J is regarded as a leading figure. Articles by Li J have received the most citations (143), followed by those published by Li X (134). This study can be used as a reference by researchers when conducting studies on medicinal plants used as anti-inflammatory agents. The findings of this study also make it easier for researchers to locate a substantial global network of academics and promote collaboration in this area.
