Abstract

Background: This report covers Ebola virus research papers from 2014 6o 2023 using the Scopus interdisciplinary online database. The study’s goal is to examine the year-by-year growth of publications, relative growth rate and doubling time, top ten authors’ contributions, document types, time series analysis, contributions of top ten journals, institutions, countries, and highly cited papers in Ebola virus research publications Aim: This study studies or evaluates Ebola virus research trends from 2014 to 2023 to discuss the possibility of employing data from the Scopus database. Between 2014 and 2023, there was an annual rise in Ebola virus research articles of 6528 research publications, 36225(22.75%) research publications, and H-index is 80, the CPP is 89.44, and the RCI is 0.06. publications. Objectives: To perform a bibliometric analysis of the Global research output in Ebola virus Research between 2014-2023. The authors’ study purpose is to look at how scientometric Ebola virus research is evolving and to detect any trends in that development. It also intends to discover prior trends in Ebola virus research publications published in scientometrics based on the sample data. Material: This study confirmed that the relative growth rate is gradually decreased from 0.57 in the year 2015 to 0.07 in the year 2024 for the given study period. The doubling time of the publication of articles gradually increases from 0.1.22 in the year 2015 to 12.23 in the year 2024. The most prolific authors in the field of Ebola virus. it is observed that Feldmann, H has contributed the highest number of articles i.e. 103(14.57%) research publications in the United states and the large
