Resumen

This bibliometric analysis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) research from 2019 to 2024 explores publication trends, authorship patterns, geographic distribution, and keyword usage. A marked increase in publications is observed, particularly in the fields of chemistry and materials science, with comparatively less emphasis on biomedical applications. India and China lead in both publication volume and citation impact, followed by notable contributions from Saudi Arabia. Muhammad Ikram emerges as the most cited author in this domain. The analysis highlights a prevailing interest in green synthesis and antimicrobial properties, with recurring keywords such as "green synthesis"and "antibacterial,"reflecting a strong focus on environmentally friendly methodologies. The most influential journals include Nanomaterials, Polymers, and ACS Omega, which play a key role in disseminating findings. The study highlights the growing importance of international collaboration and increased funding, particularly in addressing challenges related to toxicity and stability. Data analysis was conducted using Scopus, VOSviewer, and Excel, aiming to enhance research cooperation and advance biomedical applications of AgNPs.
