Abstract：Research in pharmaceutical regulatory science plays a vital role in protecting and promoting people's lives and health.This paper used the Web of Science database to retrieve relevant literature on drug regulatory science from 2004-2022.CiteSpace 5.6.R3 was used to perform bibliometric analysis and visual mapping of annual publications,country/institution/author co-occurrences,journal sources,and keyword co-occurrences and emergencies to conduct a global scientific bibliometric analysis to identify the current status,hotspots,and trends,and to promote collaboration and development.The results of the study showed that research in the field of drug regulatory science had received extensive attention from scholars all over the world,but there were still shortcomings,such as lack of cooperation between countries,lack of participation of enterprises in research,and lack of specialized scientific journals.The current hot research topics are the research progress of new gene and cell therapy technologies and their products'safety and effectiveness.Meanwhile,the application of drug regulatory science in public health and health care and the cross-application of artificial intelligence technology and regulatory science will be the focus of future research.
