Curcumin has been widely used to treat a variety of diseases and disorders since ancient times, most notably for the purpose of healing wounds. Despite the large number of available reviews on this topic, a bibliometric tool-based meta-analysis is missing in the literature. Scope and approach: To evaluate the influence and significance of the countries, journals, organizations and authors that have contributed the most to this topic, the popular bibliometric markers, including article count, citation count, and Hirsch index (H-index), are taken into account. Their collaborative networks and keyword co-occurrence along with the trend analysis are also sketched out using the VOSviewer software. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first bibliometric review on the topic and hence it is envisaged that it will attract researchers to explore future research dimensions in the related field.
India provided the most articles, making up more than 27.49 percent of the entire corpus. The International Journal of Biological Macromolecules published the most articles (44), and it also received the most citations (2012). The Journal of Ethnopharmacology (28 articles) and Current Pharmaceutical Design (20 articles) were the next most prolific journals with 1231 and 812 citations, respectively. The results indicate a significant increase in both research and publications on the wound-healing properties of curcumin. Recent studies have concentrated on creating novel medicine-delivery systems that use nano-curcumin to boost the effect of the curcumin molecule in therapeutic targeting. It has also been observed that genetic engineering and biotechnology have recently been employed to address the commercial implications of curcumin.
自古以来，姜黄素就被广泛用于治疗各种疾病和病症，最显著的用途是促进伤口愈合。尽管关于这个主题有大量的综述，但文献中缺少基于文献计量工具的荟萃分析。
为了评估对该主题贡献最大的国家、期刊、组织和作者的影响力和重要性，考虑了包括文章数量、被引次数和赫希指数（H指数）等流行的文献计量指标。还使用VOSviewer软件勾勒出它们的合作网络、关键词共现情况以及趋势分析。据我们所知，这是关于该主题的第一篇文献计量综述，因此预计它将吸引研究人员探索相关领域未来的研究方向。
印度发表的文章最多，占整个文献总量的27.49%以上。《国际生物大分子杂志》发表的文章最多（44篇），其被引次数也最多（2012次）。《民族药理学杂志》（28篇文章）和《药物设计前沿》（20篇文章）是接下来发表文章最多的期刊，分别被引1231次和812次。结果表明，关于姜黄素伤口愈合特性的研究和出版物都有显著增加。最近的研究集中在创建新型药物递送系统，使用纳米姜黄素来增强姜黄素分子在治疗靶向中的效果。还观察到，最近基因工程和生物技术已被用于解决姜黄素的商业应用问题。
