Abstract: Scientists worldwide are always interested in making new discoveries; thus, the scientific literature has been growing exponentially. Keeping abreast of the body of literature at a rapidly advancing pace poses significant challenges to active researchers and society. Although numerous data resources have been made openly available, effectively navigating the vast amount of information with heightened levels of uncertainty remains a significant bottleneck. Here, we searched and analyzed the literature regarding antibacterial treatments in the textile industry. The Web of Science, the most extensive database for scientific literature, was targeted to extract the data. We extracted the raw data from the Web of Science Core Collection. The documents were published from 1998 to 2022, from a total of 878 sources. A total of 3625 documents were found, 2898 of which were articles. A total of 11,192 authors contributed to the topic during this period. We used the Bibliometrix sub-tool Biblioshiny and extracted the basic information about the documents. With an annual growth rate of 26.27%, there was a boost in the literature during the period under study.
