Abstract

The biomedical application of the metal organic frameworks (MOFs) has become a field of immense interest in the last decade for worldwide research community. The present bibliometric review aims to find quantitatively the global scenario of research involving utilization of MOFs in designing new drug delivery systems. To explore the research direction of MOFs in drug delivery, the research executed in the last decade has been analyzed using sophisticated statistical tools, like, Bibliometrix-Biblioshiny package of r, and VOS viewer, a java based tool. These software packages facilitate to analyze quantitatively all the research articles published during this time frame to obtain the year wise growth, country wise distribution, mostly used keywords etc. In addition, the collaboration, as well as, the co-occurrences between keywords have been analyzed. Such detailed exploration of the present field utilizing statistical tool can be very much promising to understand the current research position and find grey areas in the research involving utilization MOFs in designing drug delivery systems.
