The objective study was to examine the profile of original and review articles under the topic of salicylic acid using bibliometric analysis. The VOSviewer tool was used to visualize the results. The documents including salicylic acid keyword but limited to agricultural and biological sciences were extracted from Scopus database. In this context, 1.422 documents relevant and available peer-reviewed publications were analysed. According to the systematic analysis, 4688 authors, 2880 keywords and 84 countries were determined. The annual trends of publications in the field of research, considering the number of documents, number of authors, levels of collaborations among authors and countries, year publications and core publishing journals were analysed. Finally, the explanations regarding with the improved response via salicylic acid in plant systems were briefly represented in the present study.
