Arthritis has become one of the trouble diseases that upsets people. A growing number of studies have shown that natural products have great potential for the treatment of arthritis. However, few bibliometrics have been systematically studied in this area. This paper analyzes the literature data of natural products on the arthritis research, and the research hot spots and future research directions of the treatment of arthritis by natural products were explored.
Through CiteSpace, VOSviewer software and Bibliometricx under the R language environment, the article and review literatures on the treatment of arthritis with natural drugs in the Web of Science core collection database were analyzed by bibliometric analysis.
On December 28, 2021, a total of 2102 records were retrieved, 81.69% publications were issued in 2012 to 2021, mainly in China-dominated Asian countries, with cooperation among countries. The analysis of the number of articles published by institutions shows that the number of articles published by China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences is up to 82. Lu, Aiping and Smolen, JS are the authors with the highest citation frequency and co-citation frequency. Keywords analysis showed that the research of natural drugs mainly focused on gene expression, anti-inflammatory and other mechanisms and signaling pathways. With the progress of science and technology and the integration of multi-disciplines, the research on natural drugs for arthritis will be more in-depth and specific.
In this study, literature metrology analysis was conducted on natural products in the treatment of arthritis, in order to grasp the background, trends and frontiers of the research, and predict possible research hotspots in the future. It is expected to provide some reference value and direction for future scholars in this field.
关节炎已成为困扰人们的疾病之一。越来越多的研究表明，天然产物在治疗关节炎方面具有巨大的潜力。然而，该领域很少有文献计量学得到系统研究。本文对天然产物治疗关节炎的文献数据进行了分析，探讨了天然产物治疗关节炎的研究热点和未来研究方向。
通过 CiteSpace、VOSviewer 软件和 R 语言环境下的 Bibliometrix，对 Web of Science 核心合集数据库中天然药物治疗关节炎的文章和综述文献进行了文献计量学分析。
截至 2021 年 12 月 28 日，共检索到 2102 条记录，81.69%的出版物发表于 2012 年至 2021 年，主要集中在以中国为主导的亚洲国家，国家间有合作。对机构发表文章数量的分析表明，中国中医科学院发表的文章数量最多，达 82 篇。Lu, Aiping 和 Smolen, JS 是被引频次和共被引频次最高的作者。关键词分析表明，天然药物的研究主要集中在基因表达、抗炎等机制和信号通路。随着科学技术的进步和多学科的融合，对关节炎天然药物的研究将更加深入和具体。
本研究对天然产物治疗关节炎进行了文献计量学分析，旨在掌握该研究的背景、趋势和前沿，预测未来可能的研究热点。为该领域的未来学者提供了一些参考价值和方向。
