Cancer continues to be one of the leading global health challenges, driving increasing scientific interest in natural and plant-derived therapeutic alternatives. This study presents a scientometric analysis of global research on plant-based anticancer compounds published between 1997 and 2025, with a particular focus on the past decade (2014{\textendash}2023). A total of 279 publications were retrieved from the Web of Science database and analyzed using bibliometric techniques to map publication growth, research hotspots, collaborations, and citation impact. Findings indicate a consistent rise in scholarly output, with a sharp surge after 2017, reflecting the growing integration of phytochemistry, nanotechnology, and oncology. India, China, and the USA emerged as the leading contributors, supported by European and Middle Eastern collaborations. Prominent institutions include Comenius University (Slovakia) and NIPER (India), while key journals such as Journal of Ethnopharmacology and Phytomedicine have served as major publication venues. Keyword analysis revealed evolving themes from classical phytochemical mechanisms (apoptosis, angiogenesis inhibition) to emerging areas such as green nanotechnology, polyherbal synergism, and immunomodulation. Highly cited works emphasize the potential of synergistic phytochemical formulations and nanoparticle mediated delivery systems. Despite encouraging laboratory results, challenges such as assay variability, poor standardization of phytochemicals, and limited clinical translation remain major barriers. Future directions point toward integrating artificial intelligence, omics-based approaches, and sustainable green nanotechnology for advancing phytomedicine. This scientometric overview highlights the growing global emphasis on plant-based anticancer compounds, offering valuable insights for researchers, funding bodies, and policymakers to strengthen translational research in natural product oncology.

Aim: In this study, we performed a bibliometric analysis focusing on the general patterns of scientific publications about Calotropis, bibliometric analysis of Calotropis research carried out globally from 2011 to 2020. Materials and Methods: The analysis is based on 6,584 research articles identified using the Scopus database tool, further Bibliometric tools such as Biblioshiny and VOSviewer have been used to perform bibliometric analysis and build data matrixes for co-citation, coupling, scientific collaboration analysis, and co-word analysis. Results: The results show that there is an increase in the number of articles, particularly from countries like India and China. Ramos, M{\'a}rcio Viana and Rahmatullah, Mohammed are identified as the most influential authors, and King Saud University, Saudi Arabia and Universidade Federal do Ceara, Brazil as key organisations. {\textquotedblleft}Methods for in vitro evaluating antimicrobial activity: A review{\textquotedblright} this paper total of 1679 citations are received. Total of 105 articles published during this period are highly cited. Journal of Ethnopharmacology and International Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences are the important journals identified. The most common area of the research focus has been on the most common area of the research focus has been on the Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics, Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology and Medicine. Findings: Our findings can act as a useful reference for researchers, and provide insights for directing future research on Calotropis that has potential implications for forming across the world.
