Description
Summary:This study employs bibliometric methods to analyze global publication trends in monkeypox (MPX) research from 2022 to 2024. Using the Web of Science Core Collection database, we identified the top 100 cited articles from all journals and infectious disease specialty journals. The United States and the United Kingdom were the most productive countries, with significant contributions from African nations like Nigeria. Key institutions included the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the University of London. Research focused on virus transmission, clinical manifestations, and treatments, especially vaccines and antiviral strategies after MPX was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). Our findings offer micro-level insights into biological mechanisms and targeted therapies, as well as macro-level perspectives on international collaboration and policy impact. These results are essential for guiding future diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventive strategies.
