Abstract :While the pathological mechanism of Alzheimer’s Disease insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(AD); is unclear, oxidative stress has been proposed to be one of its related theories, which can help to uncover the disease’s pathological factors. This review aims to provide a quantitative description and data visualisation of oxidative stress and AD research from the literature obtained from the Scopus database. Based on the keywords used, which are related to oxidative stress and AD in the article title, 996 documents were retrieved for further analysis. Microsoft Excel, VOSviewer, and Harzing’s Publish or Perish were used to conduct the frequency analysis, data visualization, and citation analysis. There is a continuous growth in the number of publications on research in oxidative stress and AD, starting from 1986 and spanning 35 years. The most cited article was “Oxidative stress hypothesis in Alzheimer`s disease”. The Journal of Alzheimer`s Disease published the most number of publications related to oxidative stress and AD, while the United States and its institutions were the main contributors. Our findings suggest that research on aetiopathology, biomarkers, and neuroprotective agents for AD dominated this research field. Our bibliometric analysis provides distinct trends in oxidative stress and AD research in the last 35 years. Our findings highlight current hot topics related to biomarkers for screening and diagnosis of AD as well as neuroprotective agents used as disease-modifying therapies of AD.
