Abstract

The purpose of this study was to map the research literature on Biochemistry education, covering the scientific production indexed on the Web of Science over the past 66 years. The open-source Bibliometrix R-package, an R-tool, was used to carry out the bibliometric analysis. Our results describe (1) how many articles were published per year and what is the annual average growth rate; (2) which are the core journals, authors, and publications in the field; (3) which countries and funding agencies contribute most to the development of research in the area; (4) the leading collaborative research and co-citation networks; (5) which articles were the most cited in the past 10 years; and (6) which are the trending topics in the field. Our main contribution is offering insights into the evolution of the field. Also, the use of a quantitative methodological design, which covers a large volume of publications, and could identify possible gaps in the area.

Keywords: Biochemistry education; bibliometric analysis; bibliometrix.
