METHODS
Scientific publications on HPV were analyzed using the Scopus database between 1975 and 2021. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of the obtained data were reviewed using bibliometric indicators. The VOSviewer program was used to visualize keyword networks.

RESULTS
There were 50362 scientific publications, and most were conducted in 2021 (5,82%). HPV publications have accelerated in the past decades. The United States (USA) ranks first with 31,96 % (n=18128) in terms of the number of publications. Most of the publications were produced as Articles and in the English language. According to keyword network analysis, it was seen that the most popular themes were mostly about immunization and diagnosis of HPV.

CONCLUSION
To the best of our knowledge, this bibliometric analysis includes the widest timelapse on HPV research. This study includes rigorous bibliometric and thematic knowledge of literature related to HPV will be useful for work accordingly for research and development activities.
