This bibliometric study analyzed all ovarian endometriosis–related records published up to 2023 in the Web of Science Core Collection, using Bibliometrix in R plus CiteSpace and a literature metrology platform to map global publication patterns. Across 409 eligible records, the most productive journal was Fertility and Sterility and endometriosis was the most cited reference; keyword clustering identified themes including angiogenesis, estrogen and progesterone receptor pathways, microarray analysis, laparoscopic cystectomy, atypical endometriosis, and treatment, with infertility emerging as a trending hotspot. The authors explicitly frame the field’s main directions as pathogenesis and “cancerization,” but the analysis is limited to what is indexed in WoSCC and depends on bibliometric, not experimental, evidence. This paper is centrally about endometriosis — it specifically focuses on ovarian endometriosis and uses bibliometric methods to characterize research trends and frontiers.

Abstract

To date, there is no systematic description of ovarian endometriosis in the literature. This study aimed to explore the development of ovarian endometriosis via bibliometric analysis and to identify global trends and frontiers.Methods: We systematically reviewed all pertinent studies up to 2023 from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) were downloaded. We examined the data via the Bibliometrix program in R (version 4.3.2), CiteSpace software, and the Online Analysis Platform of Literature Metrology (http://biblimetric.com).Results: A total of 409 eligible records on ovarian endometriosis were identified and included in the analysis. The most productive journal was FERTILITY AND STERILITY. Endometriosis was the most cited reference. The keywords were divided into seven clusters, including atypical endometriosis, laparoscopic cystectomy, angiogenesis, in situ hybridization, estrogen and progesterone receptor, microarray analysis, and treatment. As indicated by the analysis of trending topics, infertility has become a new research hotspot.Conclusion: In our study, the main directions of ovarian endometriosis include pathogenesis and cancerization. In addition, infertility has received growing attention in recent years. A comprehensive analysis of the publications in this field could help us shape the direction of further research and provide new points of view for solutions to prominent women’s health problems.Keywords: ovarian endometriosis, chocolate cyst of ovary, bibliometric analysis, scientometric analysis, infertility, cancerization
