Aims Brucellosis is one of the most common zoonotic infectious diseases that significantly impacts public health and national economies. Due to the growing scientific interest in brucellosis and its global health burden, this study aimed to conduct a scientometric analysis of global brucellosis publications from 1900 to 2020 to provide a comprehensive overview of research trends, leading countries, prolific authors, and thematic clusters.
Materials & Methods This study was conducted using scientometrics method. All brucellosis-related publications indexed in Scopus (1900-2020) were retrieved. Data were analyzed using Excel for descriptive statistics and VOS viewer for co-authorship, keyword co-occurrence, and thematic clustering.
Findings From 25,846 publications, 86.24% were original articles. The top publishing years were 2020 (852 articles), 2013 (827 articles), and 2019 (800 articles), reflecting a fluctuating upward trend. The United States (15.48%), Turkey (8.96%), and France (5.34%) led in productivity. Keyword analysis identified six clusters, namely immune response, clinical manifestations, zoonosis, diagnosis, pathogens, and epidemiology.
Conclusion This study demonstrated that brucellosis research has grown significantly in recent years, particularly in endemic regions. The findings can assist policymakers and researchers in identifying research strengths and weaknesses, setting research priorities, and strengthening international collaborations.
