ABSTRACT

The present study examined current research trends on copolymers’ role in lung cancer by using bibliometric analysis and to identify the areas for further research. Through the use of the Scopus database, this study gathered 736 records that were published between 1974 and 2023. Based on the research findings, block copolymers emerged as a distinctive approach for the treatment of lung cancer and various other malignancies. However, since 1974, this industry has grown rapidly. No bibliometric studies have been done on this topic to analyse the research landscape and indicate research trends and hotspots. VOSviewer was used for bibliometric analysis and visualisation. Over the last 49 years, the results of the yearly publication and citation demonstrated substantial growing tendencies across the period. The United States of America and China have been the primary driving forces in this sector, and this has contributed to the total number of publications.
