Introduction: Dengue fever is known to be the most widely spreading mosquito-borne infectious disease in the world. It is also the most serious human condition in terms of global morbidity and mortality. The focus of this research was to classify the characteristics of dengue vector-related articles published in terms of author, year publications, paper’s origin and citation in the Science Core Collection Web from 2010 to 2020. Methods: Scientific publication data for articles indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED) were used and the following charac- teristics were recorded; area, year of publication, citation per publication, authors, institutions, countries, journals, research categories, and leading article with citation analysis. Results: The results showed that the highest number of dengue vector-related articles were published between 2014 and 2016. The USA was the most productive nation, while Liverpool University, England and the University of California, USA were the main institutions with the highest number of publications. Research articles have been found in a wide range of disciplines, especially in parasitology and tropical medicine. PLOS Neglected Tropical Disease has the highest number of publications reported overall compared to other journals. Citation for the last year and the cumulative number of citations since its publication created a different ‘star’ of the highly cited paper. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the bibliometric analysis method can be a guide for specific researchers to understand the global dengue vector study panorama and to provide guidance for further study.
