ABSTRACT

Menstrual health has reaped much attention with a swift increase in the related literature. This study intended to map the knowledge landscape of menstrual health research in India using a scientometric and information visualization approach. The scientometric analysis of Scopus data on parameters like publication output, publication share, growth rate, prolific authors, authorship pattern, scientific fields, citation analysis, international collaboration, etc., has been conducted. 52257 publications were produced globally during the study period, with 2668 papers from India. The majority of these research output is collaborative and multi-authored. America is the most productive country and India's top collaborative associate in menstrual studies. All India Institute of Medical Sciences and Clinical and Diagnostic Research journal is the most efficient institute and journal. Moreover, menstrual health, menstrual cycle and menstrual hygiene, menstrual syndrome, and studies on the function of hormones in menstruation were diagnosed as the mainstream topics in the fields of menstrual health. The study's findings will offer proof of the current status and trends in menstrual health. They will assist researchers and policymakers in understanding the panorama of menstrual health and expecting the dynamic research guidelines.
