Recent studies have highlighted the importance of the analysis of vitamin D serum levels and its metabolites in multiple diseases. Bibliometric research is a valuable method to analyze qualitatively and quantitatively the publications related to a particular subject. The method assists in identifying novel and emerging areas of research and it is widely used in the medical research field. The number of publications in the Web of Science database associated with vitamin D receptor (VD) has increased over the years up to mid-2021. Hence, it is necessary to identify global trends and future directions in the studies on VDR. We believe that this is the first work to use VOSviewer as the main tool to analyze publications linked to VDR.
