Abstract

Introduction: oncological diseases, including oral cancer, are the object of study of various institutions; for this reason it is necessary to analyze the behavior of this published science.

Objective: to analyze the scientific production on oral cancer in the Web of Science in the period 2000 to 2020.

Methods:  a bibliometric study of the articles on oral cancer published in the Core Collections of Web of Science was conducted. The co-occurrence matrices for the analysis of the networks were pre-processed in Bibexel, and VOSviewer v1.6.15 was used its analysis. Visibility, impact and cooperation indicators were analyzed.

Results: the documents analyzed (10349), where 76,50 % were original articles. The citations received were 198 302, for an average of 19, 9 citations per article. The variation rate in terms of the number of articles was 82,91 %. Publications written in English   language reached 98,96 %. The United States was the most productive country, with 23,92 %. The documents were published in 1416 resources and signed by 5160 institutions; at least 138 collaborated on one article.

Conclusions: there is an increasing interest in research on oral cancer, concentrated in a small number of countries which exhibit genuine leadership capabilities in this field. Progress was evidenced in terms of international collaboration. The analysis of the co-occurrence of terms reflects the interest of the international scientific community in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of this disease at a global level.
