Snake envenomation is a severe economic and health concern affecting countries worldwide. Snake venom carries a wide variety of small peptides and proteins with various immunological and pharmacological properties. A few key research areas related to snake venom, including its applications in treating cancer and eradicating antibiotic-resistant bacteria, have been gaining significant attention in recent years. The goal of the current study was to analyze the global profile of literature in snake venom research. This study presents a bibliometric review of snake venom-related research documents indexed in the Scopus database between 1933 and 2022. The overall number of documents published on a global scale was 2999, with an average annual production of 34 documents. Brazil produced the highest number of documents ( = 729), followed by the United States ( = 548), Australia ( = 240), and Costa Rica ( = 235). Since 1963, the number of publications has been steadily increasing globally. At a worldwide level, antivenom, proteomics, and transcriptomics are growing hot issues for research in this field. The current research provides a unique overview of snake venom research at global level from 1933 through 2022, and it may be beneficial in guiding future research.
蛇咬伤中毒是一个严重的经济和健康问题，影响着世界各国。蛇毒含有多种具有不同免疫和药理特性的小肽和蛋白质。近年来，一些与蛇毒相关的关键研究领域，包括其在治疗癌症和根除抗生素耐药细菌方面的应用，受到了广泛关注。本研究的目的是分析蛇毒研究的全球文献概况。这项研究对1933年至2022年期间Scopus数据库中索引的蛇毒相关研究文献进行了文献计量学综述。全球发表的文献总数为2999篇，年均发表量为34篇。巴西发表的文献数量最多（ = 729），其次是美国（ = 548）、澳大利亚（ = 240）和哥斯达黎加（ = 235）。自1963年以来，全球的出版物数量一直在稳步增加。在全球范围内，抗蛇毒血清、蛋白质组学和转录组学是该领域研究日益热门的问题。本研究提供了从1933年到2022年全球蛇毒研究的独特概述，可能有助于指导未来的研究。
