The prevalence of chronic diseases, including diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and a condition called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is on the rise in developing nations. This pilot bibliometric analysis explores the research landscape of these conditions by examining publication trends, research focus areas, key contributors, and collaboration patterns. The number of publications on chronic conditions in emerging economies has steadily increased over the past two decades, with significant disparities between regions. Heart disease and diabetes are the most frequently studied conditions. Key contributors include leading researchers and institutions from both emerging and developed economies. International collaborations have facilitated knowledge transfer and capacity building. Despite progress, certain regions and conditions remain under-researched, highlighting the need for targeted research efforts and strengthened local research capacity. This analysis provides valuable insights into the research landscape of chronic conditions in emerging economies and can inform future research priorities and policy-making to address the growing health burden in these regions.
