Abstract

Introduction: bibliometrics is a valuable tool in the analysis of trends in scientific production, as well as for making decisions for the publication of scientific articles.
Objective: to identify trends in scientific production on attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder in Scopus.
Method: observational, descriptive, bibliometric study of articles published on attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder between 2018 and 2022 in the Scopus database. A search strategy was used to obtain the data. Several indicators of productivity, visibility and impact were studied.
Results: a total of 21620 articles were published; the most productive years were 2021 and 2022 (n=4960). 74,33 % of the articles were original and 96,42 % were published in English language. 12249 were published in all open access, the most productive area was Medicine (n=14903). The most productive journals were Journal Of Attention Disorders (n=826) and Frontiers In Psychiatry (n=372), the countries were United States (n=8085) and United Kingdom (n=2307), and the institutions were King's College London (n=618) and Harvard Medical School (n=598).
Conclusions: there was a growing scientific production on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in Scopus, mainly focused on original articles, with English as the main writing language. The subject area Medicine and open access predominated. The core of the scientific production was constituted by the United States and the United Kingdom, with their institutions and journals being the most productive.
