Abstract：Objective To analyze the literature of licorice in treating liver injury by using CiteSpace knowledge map,and to seek its research status,hot spots and trends.Methods CiteSpace 6.2.R2 software was used to visually analyze the Chinese and English related literatures of licorice in treating liver injury and inflammation published from January 1,2000 to September 30,2023 in China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Web of Science databases,including the number of published papers,authors,institutions,journals,fund support,keywords and other research topics.Results After screening,219 Chinese literatures and 152 English literatures were finally included.After analysis,YU Zugong,DAI Ying and FAN Lihong were the main contributors in the field of Chinese and English.In addition,Beijing University of Chinese Medicine and China Academy of Sciences ranked first in both Chinese and English in this field.It was worth noting that in English literature,cooperation among research institutions was relatively frequent.Keyword analysis in Chinese and English showed that the research contents of licorice in treating liver injury mainly focused on active ingredients,liver injury and mechanism of action.Conclusion The expert cooperation and regional cooperation of active ingredients of licorice in treating liver injury should be strengthened,and the research on its molecular mechanism and alleviating liver injury by anticancer drugs may be the focus of future research.
