Abstract

Background and Aim: Bibliometrics is a statistical method used to examine a collection of literature and its features, assess advancements in certain areas, and forecast future trends. To demonstrate global research trends in One Health and serve as a resource for potential future study and practice, we conducted a bibliometric analysis of articles related to worldwide research on One Health from Scopus database.

Materials and Methods: This study identified keywords related to One Health that were limited by the subject area to medicine, veterinary, and environmental science to identify and search for articles in the Scopus database, which included 1608 international research papers published from 2012 to 2022.

Results: The results showed a 10-year trend of rising publishing outputs and research interest in One Health. The most prolific One Health author is Zinsstag Jakob from Switzerland and the most productive journal on One Health was the One Health journal. The institution with the most One Health research articles was the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (USA). Coauthorship analysis revealed that the USA was the country with the greatest degree of affiliation, followed by the UK, Switzerland, and France. Four separate topic clusters were generated using the clustering algorithm within the network: (1) green: Veterinary; (2) blue: Zoonoses; (3) red: Antimicrobial resistance; and (4) yellow: Tropical disease.

Conclusion: This article provides an overview of further research related to One Health. There is a need to explore further research in the environmental sector, which is the least explored sector among the three sectors in relation to One Health. The limitations of the current study were that we used only Scopus database and excluded literature from other scientific databases.
