  <abstract>This research attempts to use Bradfordâ€™s law to identify the most productive â€œSurgical Roboticsâ€ journals. Using the search terms â€œsurgical robotics / robotic surgery / robot-assisted surgery,â€ the PubMed database was searched for journals indexed under the publication form and data collected was analysed using R software, Biblioshiny method; 6897 publications from 772 journals dealing with surgical robotics were retrieved from January 2015 to June 2020. As per Bradfordâ€™s rule, the journal distribution revealed the ration as 16:64: 692. With 25.41% of publications, the United States of America was the leading country to publish robotic surgery studies, followed by Italy (15.93%) and China (10.36 %). The â€œJournal of Robotic Surgeryâ€ described as the most productive journal involved in â€œSurgical Roboticsâ€ research publications. For the Bradford Multiplier (k) at 8.75, the dispersion of journal publications did not satisfy either the Bradford Scattering law or the Leimkuhler model in this analysis. </abstract>
