Abstract
Oral cancer is a significant worldwide public health issue in nations with low levels of awareness and restricted access to healthcare. Despite advancements in diagnostic and treatment methods, its prevalence and mortality rates remain high. The purpose of this bibliometric study is to evaluate global research trends, key contributors, and emerging directions for oral cancer research between 2000 and 2025 using data from the Scopus database. A total of 570 publications were obtained using keywords related to the research of oral cancer. Bibliometric features including total publications, citation counts, and h-index were examined using Biblioshiny with R-studio and VOS viewer. Results indicate that China, the United States, and the United Kingdom were the most frequently named countries, while the National Institute of Biomedical Genomics, the University of London, and Fujian Medical University were the top contributing institutions. Professor Warnakulasuriya S. was the most prolific author. "Oral Oncology" was determined to be the most popular journal based on the quantity of publications. Publication activity peaked in 2021. Saliva-based diagnostics, optical imaging devices, and autofluorescence spectroscopy were mentioned as important technological advancements in early detection. This study offers valuable insights into the current status and future directions of research on oral cancer. It highlights areas for more study and identifies significant authors, institutions, and countries that are advancing the field. These results highlight the need for increased international collaboration and the continuous development of early diagnostic tools.
