Resumen

Antimicrobial resistance has become a cross-sectoral challenge in agri-food and environmental systems, creating demand for evidence that is comparable across human, animal, and environmental health. This study quantitatively examined the evolution of research on the One Health approach and antimicrobial resistance in agro-environmental settings through bibliometric mapping of Scopus records retrieved on 5 February 2026. After thematic screening, metadata cleaning, and standardisation, the final dataset was processed in Bibliometrix and VOSviewer using productivity indicators, collaboration networks, Lotka’s law, Bradford’s law, and RPYS. The corpus comprised 2,515 documents published between 1981 and 2026 in 818 sources by 12,943 authors. Annual growth reached 9.87%, mean co-authorship was 6.7 authors per document, international collaboration accounted for 36.22%, and the average citation rate was 27.78 citations per document. Scientific output rose sharply after 2018 and reached 612 documents in 2025. Seventeen core journals accounted for 833 articles, and 117 countries contributed to the field, with China and the United States leading production. The resulting profile shows a domain that combines environmental transmission, genomic surveillance, and risk-oriented management across value chains, reinforcing the need for harmonised metrics and coordinated action on biosecurity, effluent control, and antimicrobial stewardship.
