Abstract

Neutrosophy constitutes an emerging field of scientific knowledge; therefore, the study
of its structure and dynamics represents a topic of current and global interest. Using bibliometric
methods combined with artificial intelligence techniques, this research explores a corpus of N = 6846
metadata records retrieved from Scopus and related to neutrosophy. A remarkable growth during
the last decade is observed, together with the identification of six consolidated research domains, a
set of core conceptual topics, and the existence of a scientific community with clearly defined
leadership. The results are applicable to the formulation of science policies, including the definition
of research lines and the identification of fundamental topics and problems. The application of the
L-index identifies a reasonable number of scientific leaders within the macro-academic community
under study and proves to be potentially applicable to similar bibliometric analyses.
