Abstract:
Objective The current article aimed to explore the previous focuses,highlight the latest progresses and analyze the future trends on the research of medicinal Pteridophyes.Methods 794 scientific names and 414 Chinese names of medical used ferns and lycopods were established as search term from five public documentary libraries(i.e.,Web of Science,PubMed,CNKI,WangFang and Cqvip),respectively.After data cleaning,5465 publications in English and 8918 publications in Chinese were refined as effective datasets.Subsequently,the up-to-date bibliometric methods and visualization software packages were employed to fulfill the graphical bibliometric analyses.Results The yearly publication numbers in both English and Chinese showed fluctuating upward patterns,and each of them has undergone three phases with distinct rates of rise(i.e.,embryonic stage,smoothly-rising stage and sharply-rising stage).Significant national and territorial discrepancies exist in the various types of literature.The topics in English literature on medicinal Pteridophyes mainly included ontogenetic process and phylogeny,plant-environment interactions,and the pharmacological activities of various metabolites(e.g.alkaloids).The Chinese literature is not only concerned with individual development and pharmacological effects,but also focuses on the application of new technologies,emphasizes the application of them in traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese and Western medicine.Moreover,our results pointed out rising hotspot medicinal Pteridophyes species such as Drynaria roosii and Huperzia serrata.Conclusion Our present study implied that the medicinal Pteridophyes have aroused wide attention in domestic and foreign scholar and will be continuous concerned for a long time in the future.Currently,4 different aspects(i.e.,phytoremediation,phylogenetic analysis,pharmacological activity and clinical application)are the main research focal points towards this clade of medical plant species,and it is an important emerging tendency that we should apply the multi-omics technology to investigate the Pteridophyes species and unravel their medical values.
