Bibliometric Analysis of Helicobacter Pylori and Gut Microbiome Research, 2000–2025

1,592 publications from Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed were analyzed to map the evolution of research on Helicobacter pylori and the gut microbiome. The dataset, created by Liwei Li and updated in April 2026, reveals a three-phase shift in academic focus from infection eradication to tumor-immune interactions. This bibliometric analysis provides a structured overview of publication trends and key thematic transitions in the field.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the geographic distribution of research leadership based on the mention of China and the USA.
• Tracking the evolution of research themes over time based on the described three-phase structure.
• Identifying emerging research hotspots based on high-strength citation bursts for terms like 'Fusobacterium nucleatum' and 'immunity'.
• Visualizing co-citation networks and keyword clusters from the bibliometric data.

Strengths

• Analyzes 1,592 publications, providing a substantial corpus for trend analysis.
• Covers a 25-year time range from 2000 to 2025.
• Aggregates data from three major academic databases: Web of Science Core Collection, Scopus, and PubMed.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The 114.7 KB file size suggests a limited scope, likely containing summary or processed data rather than raw records.
