薏苡（Coix lacryma-jobi L.），禾本科（Poaceae），兼具药用、食用、饲用、观赏及重金属污染修复等多用途谷类作物，收录于我国《药食同源物品目录》。研究采用文献计量学方法分析了1985-2024年期间发表于国、内外主要数据库来源文献，总结文献的时序分布、研究机构、高影响力作者、关键词聚类、时序演变和引文爆发等特征。结果表明：（i）薏苡相关文献年发表量持续上升，其中2010年以来论文发表量激增；（ii）研究机构主要分布于亚洲地区，其中我国贵州大学（贵州）和右江民族医学院（广西）等西南地区高校发挥主导作用；（iii）目前研究方向集中于传统药方、产量和栽培技术，研究热点聚焦种质资源、药理机制和农业优化。
Coix lacryma-jobi L. (Coix) is a multipurpose cereal crop of the family Poaceae, valued for its medicinal, edible, forage, ornamental, and heavy-metal-remediation uses, and it is officially listed in China’s Catalogue of Medicinal and Edible Homology Items. To characterize the current state of research, advances in the field of research hotspots, and emerging trends in Coix, we applied bibliometric methods to the literature published between 1985 and 2024 across major domestic and international databases, systematically summarizing temporal publication distribution, research institutions, high-impact authors, keyword clustering, temporal evolution, and citation bursts. Our analysis yielded three key findings. Firstly, the annual output of Coix-related publications has risen continuously, with a marked surge since 2010. Secondly, research institutions are concentrated in Asia, where Chinese universities, including Guizhou University (Guizhou) and Youjiang Medical University for Nationalities (Guangxi), play a leading role. Thirdly, high-frequency keywords center on traditional formulas, yield, and cultivation techniques, whereas current research hotspots focus on germplasm resources, pharmacological mechanisms, and agronomic optimization, signaling a transition from production-oriented agronomy towards mechanism-driven, resource-based investigation.
