Scientometrical analysis of quality marker of traditional Chinese medicines

Objective The determination of quality marker (Q-Marker) in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a crucial content in improving the Chinese Pharmacopoeia and promoting the healthy development of the TCM industry. It is an important step for TCM to internationalize and modernize. It is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of the current research status of Q-Marker. Methods Using the scientometrical analysis method, the related literature of Q-Marker in TCM was retrieved through CNKI and Web of Science database. Visualization knowledge maps were generated using VOSviewer and CiteSpace to present the overall production of papers, research countries and institutions, research hotspots, and research trends. Results A total of 1 030 Chinese and English literatures were included in the analysis. The analysis shows that the research on Q-Marker of TCM is in the stage of rapid development. Academician Liu Changxiao, the proposer of the concept, published the most papers. Research on Q-Marker in TCM has achieved abundant results in areas such as quality control of TCM, pharmacodynamic substances, processing mechanism research, pharmacology and safety evaluation of TCM, and cultivation of TCM resources. Conclusion The study of Q-Marker in TCM is currently in an upward stage, and there is a need to strengthen communication and cooperation among different institutions and research teams in this field. By comprehensively and scientifically reflecting the development process, current research status, and research hotspots and trends in the field of Q-Marker in TCM, this study provides a reference for the in-depth research on Q-Marker in TCM.
