摘要
American ginseng(Panax quinquefolius L.),a widely used herbal medicine and dietary supplement,has attracted increasing attention from both academia and industry in recent years.To better understand the research frontiers and hotspots,we conducted a bibliometric analysis of American ginseng studies indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection from 1985 to 2024,using CiteSpace and VOSviewer.A total of 1169 publications were identified,with a marked increase in output since 2011.Hotspot analysis revealed growing interest in pharmacological effects,ginsenoside analysis,polysaccharide studies,and quality control.Furthermore,we assessed future research trends,suggesting that quality control and the modulation of gut microbiota will remain central topics.This study provides a clearer understanding of the evolving research landscape on American ginseng and offers guidance for future investigations.
