Bibliometric Analysis of the Genus Jasminum: Global Status, Research and Trends

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Jasmine oil is used as an antispasmodic, aphrodisiac, antibacterial, and woundhealing agent in traditional medicine. Based on existing studies, phytochemical analyses of the plant's extracts and pharmacologic activities of its bioactive substances are explored to better understand its therapeutic potential. Aim of the Study: Our research looked at trends in the literature written between 1960 and 2022 on the genus Jasminum using the bibliometric method. The study's main aim is to highlight and assess information on the work done on different aspects of the genus Jasminum. Materials and Methods: Literature was analysed and represented using bibliometric analysis; programme R and the bibliometrix codes were used to conduct a descriptive bibliometric analysis and generate a matrix including all of the documents. Our final data set consisted of 244 publications with 1 194 author-defined keywords published between 1960 and 2022. Results: The present work highlights the focus of the literature on the genus Jasminum. India's independent papers account for the second-largest percentage of all publications. Besides, phytochemical studies have been extensively utilised for conducting pharmacologic studies and phytotherapy. In the current scenario, research on Jasminum and its gene expression regulation has gained a lot of traction. Conclusions: This publication provides an overview of the work done on various aspects of the genus Jasminum to aid scientific studies in this area. Furthermore, the analysis may be of benefit to various workers in this field.
