Methods: Studies in Web of Science database including the words “methanol” or “methyl alcohol” in their title and the words “poisoning” or “poison” or “toxicity” or “toxic” or “overdose” as the subject were reviewed as of 21.08.2023. “Web of Science Categories”, “Web of Science Index” and “Document Types” categories were used as filtering options.

Results: A total of 548 articles were included in the study. It was found that language of most of the studies were English (n=536; 97.8%) and they were published in journals that were in Science Citation Index-Expanded (SCI-E) (n=451; 82.3%) indices. It was found that the highest number of articles were published in 2020 and the country in which the highest number of articles was published was the United States of America (n=143; 22.7%) Conclusion: The present study performs a bibliometric analysis of articles on methanol poisoning in WoS database. The data found in this study can be a valuable source for other researchers and a guide future studies.
