The recent monkeypox or mpox outbreak has been a global concern. The present study evaluated the global research outputs, research trends, and topics of published research on monkeypox using a bibliometric approach. The Scopus database was searched for terms associated with "monkeypox" or "monkey pox" up until 19 November 2022. Maps and bibliometric indicators of the retrieved documents were shown and analyzed. A total of 1,422 documents were obtained from Scopus. Other than monkeypox, the most commonly used terms included epidemic, disease outbreaks, smallpox vaccine, and orthopoxvirus. In total, 90.3% of the documents were published between 2002 and 2022. The United States, the United Kingdom, and India were the top three countries in terms of productivity. Most of the institutions were from the United States. The International Journal of Surgery, the Journal of Medical Virology, and the Travel Medicine and Infectious Disease are some of the top journals currently publishing research on monkeypox. Tecovirimat, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), homosexuality, and pandemic are emerging topics related to monkeypox.
近期的猴痘疫情已成为全球关注的焦点。本研究采用文献计量学方法评估了关于猴痘已发表研究的全球研究产出、研究趋势和主题。在Scopus数据库中搜索了与“猴痘”或“猴天花”相关的术语，截至2022年11月19日。展示并分析了检索到的文献的图谱和文献计量指标。从Scopus获得了总共1422篇文献。除猴痘外，最常用的术语包括流行病、疾病暴发、天花疫苗和正痘病毒。总体而言，90.3%的文献发表于2002年至2022年之间。就产出而言，美国、英国和印度位列前三。大多数机构来自美国。《国际外科学杂志》《医学病毒学杂志》以及《旅行医学与传染病》是目前发表有关猴痘研究的一些顶级期刊。替考韦瑞玛、2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）、同性恋和大流行是与猴痘相关的新兴主题。
