Abstract
Azadirachta indica A. Juss, often referred to as Neem, is a rapidly developing tree that falls under the Meliacea family. For more than two millennia, Indians has relied on neem oil for its healing properties. Thus, to know the importance of neem tree, the study is needed. The Neem tree has been a subject of extensive research owing to its diverse array of chemicals and polymers with multifaceted applications. This bibliometric exploration aims to map the research landscape surrounding the Neem tree, shedding light on the key chemical compounds and polymer-based materials derived from this botanical marvel. It investigates the distribution of research output across geographical regions, identifying prolific contributors and emerging research hubs. Moreover, it delineates the chronological evolution of research themes, from traditional applications to cutting-edge innovations. Thus, the focus of study is to know different aspects of neem tree and its medicinal importance in human life. In order to provide a summary of research activity in this area and identify its most significant features, this work presents a bibliometric analysis of the neem plant.
