With the rise of SCLC research in the past decade, this study aims to analyze the foundation and frontiers of SCLC research through bibliometric analysis.<h4>Methods</h4>Relevant publications from the Web of Science Core Collection were retrieved on January 3, 2022. R package bibliometrix and EXCEL2019 were used to analyze quantitative variables. Bibliometric mapping was constructed by VOS viewer and CiteSpace software to visualize citation, co-authorship, co-occurrence, and co-citation analysis of countries/regions, organizations, authors, references, and keywords.<h4>Results</h4>A total of 2,361 publications related to SCLC were identified with the total amount of articles steadily increasing,Frontiers in oncology955259https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9583519biostudies-literatureBibliometric analysis of global research trends on small-cell lung cancer (2012-2021).PMC9583519Liu XLi XDing YLi JZhang HSun SSun DWang ZWang KfalseBibliometric analysis of global research trends on small-cell lung cancer (2012-2021).<h4>Background</h4>Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a recalcitrant tumor with a poor prognosis.
