Abstract

The current study aims to identify research hotspots and trends in Monkeypox (MPX). A total of 2655 MPX-related articles published from 1961 to 2023 were extracted from the Scopus database. Data were analyzed using Scopus Analytics, Microsoft Excel, Bibliometrix, and VOSviewer. The number of MPX papers has been increasing annually, particularly since the most recent outbreak. The United States and India have been productive in this area. The most cited and productive scholar in the field is Inger K. Damon. The MPX research theme map shows clusters with various centralities and densities, focusing on deep learning, molecular docking, and orthopoxviruses. Over the last decade, key terms include ''transmission,'' ''pandemic,'' ''deep learning,'' ''docking,'' ''Democratic Republic of Congo,'' ''Ebola,'' ''virulence,'' ''modified vaccinia Ankara,'' and ''orthopoxvirus.'' Researchers can utilize existing findings to steer future research on this illness, prepare for potential pandemics, and address bioterrorist threats.
