This article used bibliometric analysis method to search for papers using the keyword " metapneumovirus" , and searched for HMPV papers published from 2001 to 2023 in the Web of Science database. Statistical analysis of the distribution of papers on HMPV by year, country, journal, research institution, author, etc., in order to understand the current research status and development trends of HMPV in the international community.Results:A total of 3 282 papers were retrieved, of which 97% were in English. HMPV was first reported in 2001, and since then, research papers have been increasing year by year. The United States has the highest number of published papers, with China, the United Kingdom, France, and the Netherlands ranked 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th respectively. The field of virology-general had the highest number of papers. In terms of research institution distribution, Vanderbilt University in the United States has published 135 papers, ranked the first. The journal which had the highest number of published papers was JOURNAL OF MEDICAL VIROLOGY, with a total of 143 papers. The author Williams JV of Vanderbilt University in the United States has published 92 papers, indicating its high international status in the field of HMPV research.Conclusions:Among the retrieved HMPV related papers, research institutions and universities in European and American countries have published more papers.
