Abstract: Ginger has been used as a traditional medicine since ancient times. Research on ginger as a medicinal plant has been extensively conducted, and there are existing literature studies on the topic. However, a bibliometric study specifically focused on ginger as a medicinal plant has not been carried out. This research aims to examine the research trends on ginger as a medicinal plant in the past 20 years (2004-2023). The data were obtained from the ScienceDirect database and visualized using VOSviewer. The visualization results of the bibliometric study indicate that ginger is connected to medicinal plants, and it exhibits numerous health effects. New fields of ginger research include the Covid-19 epidemic outbreak, pharmacology, chemometrics, and molecular docking. This could be important in the future development of ginger study. The highest number of research studies was conducted in 2021. The Journal of Ethnopharmacology emerges as the most significant contributor to this research.
