| Summary: | This study examines the role of herbal medicine, deeply rooted in Indonesia’s rich culture, as a potential solution for filariasis. The primary goal is to analyze the extent of herbal research related to filariasis through a citation network analysis of studies published in Scopus databases from 1980 to 2023. The study uses RStudio and the Bibliometrix package to assess publication trends, key contributing institutions, influential authors, and keyword patterns. One hundred eighteen documents have been published in 90 sources, with an annual growth rate of 5.95%, indicating a growing interest in herbal filariasis research. The average number of coauthors per document is 4.64, and 34.75% of the publications involve international collaboration, underscoring significant global involvement. Universitas Negeri Surabaya, Universitas Indonesia, and Universitas Gadjah Mada are leading the research efforts in this field, contributing notably to the body of knowledge. Prominent authors like Maizels RM, Djati MS, and Yazdanbach SH play a key role in shaping the academic discourse. The analysis of keyword co-occurrence reveals that “brugia malayi,” “controlled study,” and “ extract” are central themes, reflecting a strong focus on preclinical research and the extraction procedures of plant-based treatments. |
