Abstract: The study analyzed the scientific productivity of research output on metagenomics. The data for the study was retrieved from the Web of Science database from 2003 to 2024, using the keyword ‘metagenomics’. The study results reveal that the average RGR of publications increased gradually from 0.82 to 1.77. Meanwhile, the publication’s Doubling time (Dt) was 0.95, almost decreasing during the study period. The polynomial growth model fits well with the metagenomics research literature. Zhang Y (China) has the highest number (125) of research publications, followed by Delwart E with 122 (0.762%) publications and Wang Y with 119 (0.746%) publications. The National Natural Science Foundation (China) funded 1760 (10.99%) publications, followed by the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Washington, dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of America has funded 1355(8.46%) publications.
