Bibliometric Analysis of Human Microbiota-Associated Animal Model Research, 2005–2025

A bibliometric analysis of publications on human microbiota-associated animal models from 2005 to 2025. The data was compiled by Xiangning Huang from the Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed, and last updated in April 2026. The analysis reveals a continuous upward trend in publications, with the United States and institutions like those publishing in Gut Microbes and PNAS being major contributors.

Use Cases

• Tracking publication trends in microbiome research based on the described analysis of publication counts from 2005 to 2025.
• Identifying key journals and collaborative networks based on the mention of journals like Gut Microbes and PNAS and international collaborations.
• Analyzing research focus areas based on keyword analyses mentioned for metabolic, gastrointestinal, oncological, and neurodegenerative diseases.
• Studying the impact of experimental factors like diet and host genetics on model reproducibility as highlighted in the conclusion.

Strengths

• Analysis spans a 20-year period from 2005 to 2025, providing a long-term view of the field.
• Data was aggregated from three major bibliographic databases: Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed.
• The dataset is openly shared under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 43.7 KB, suggesting limited raw data or a summary document.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting detailed assessment of the underlying data structure.
• The primary file format is DOCX, which may require conversion for programmatic analysis.
