摘要

Aim

The One Health (OH) concept emphasizes the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. Since its formal emergence in the early 2000s, research in this domain has expanded significantly, particularly since the COVID-19 pandemic, necessitating a comprehensive evaluation of its scientific landscape. This study provides a bibliometric analysis of OH research to explore its growth trajectory, influential contributors, thematic evolution, and emerging trends from 1981 to 2025.

Methods

A comprehensive dataset of 1543 publications was retrieved from the Scopus database. Bibliometric indicators were analyzed using Bibliometrix (R), VOSviewer, and CiteSpace. Analytical components included productivity and collaboration metrics, Lotka’s and Bradford’s laws, keyword co-occurrence, multiple correspondence analysis (MCA), thematic mapping, and reference co-citation networks. Post-pandemic shifts were also examined using timeline and burst detection analyses.

Results

A total of 1543 publications showed an annual growth rate of 12.48%. Zinsstag J and Zhang Y were the most prolific authors. The USA led in output and citations, while Switzerland ranked highest in citation impact. Brazil and Kenya emerged as strong collaborators. Core sources included One Health and Frontiers in Public Health, confirming Bradford’s Law. Lotka’s law held that 86.2% of the authors contributed only once. Key terms included “One Health,” “antimicrobial resistance,” and “zoonoses.” Conceptual mapping revealed a paradigm shift post-2020 toward transdisciplinary themes, such as global health, education, and sustainability. Author keyword co-occurrence and MCA showed strong thematic clustering, whereas co-citation analysis highlighted foundational literature and citation bursts, particularly post-pandemic. Thematic and citation network analyses identified “One Health surveillance” and “antimicrobial resistance” as emerging hotspots in the evolving research landscape.

Conclusion

OH research has evolved into a dynamic, multidisciplinary field. Post-pandemic developments have signaled a shift toward systemic, policy-driven, and collaborative approaches that integrate planetary health and sustainability.
