Abstract
Objective: The objective of this research was to characterize scientific production of M. oleifera in the Scopus database during the period 2013 - 2023.
Design/methodology/approach: The bibliographic data of the moringa publications were downloaded and the data were characterized through a bibliometric analysis.
Results: 5680 documents published in the period 2013-2023 were identified, which were classified as scientific articles (80.21%), bibliographic reviews (8.68%), papers presented at congresses (6.78%), book chapters (1.81%). and books (0.11%). The most researched areas were agricultural and biological sciences (21.92%), biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology (10.71%) and pharmacology, toxicology and pharmaceuticals (10.51%). The following bibliometric data were identified: Keywords, ID keywords, countries with the most publications, journals with the most moringa publications, authors with the highest number of publications and citations, topic niche, basic topics, emerging or declining topics, and motor topics
Limitations on study/implications: Databases that do not have free access limit the development of bibliographic research.
Findings/conclusions: The bibliometric analysis allowed to know the scientific contribution in moringa and allows the development of topics of greater relevance.
