We conducted a scientometric study in order to quantify the number of publications and the growth rate globally, regionally, and at country levels. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Methods:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; In October 2015, we searched the Scopus database using the general keywords of addiction or drug-use disorders combined with specific terms regarding 4 groups of illicit drugs \u2013 cannabis, opioids, cocaine, and other stimulants or hallucinogens. All documents published during the 20-year period from 1995 to 2014 were included. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Results:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; A total of 95,398 documents were retrieved. The highest number of documents were on opioids, both globally (60.1%) and in each of 5 continents. However, studies on cannabis showed a higher growth rate in the last 5-year period of the study (2010\u20132014). The United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Canada, Australia, France, Spain, Italy, China, and Japan \u2013 almost all studies were from high-income countries \u2013 occupied the top 10 positions and produced 81.4% of the global science on drug addiction. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Conclusion:&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;\/b&gt; As there are important socio-cultural differences in the epidemiology and optimal clinical care of addictive disorders, it is suggested that low- and more affected middle-income countries increase their capacity to conduct research and disseminate the knowledge in this field.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000487590","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,6]],"date-time":"2018-04-06T17:02:36Z","timestamp":1523034156000},"page":"60-70","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Global Scientific Production on Illicit Drug Addiction: A Two-Decade Analysis"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Malahat","family":"Khalili","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Afarin","family":"Rahimi-Movaghar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Behrang","family":"Shadloo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ramin","family":"Mojtabai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karl","family":"Mann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Masoumeh","family":"Amin-Esmaeili","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,4,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(13)61530-5"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0376-8716(90)90085-S"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/tc.2005.011973"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/alcalc\/agh238"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1530-0277.2012.01934.x"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amepre.2010.06.003"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1360-0443.2005.01135.x"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000348260"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1747-597X-9-33"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3163\/1536-5050.101.2.005"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1369-1600.2011.00388.x"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11192-007-1681-4"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1096\/fj.07-9492LSF"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1108705"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1192\/bjp.bp.105.011221"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/HRP.0000000000000067"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0376-8716(92)90019-9"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/asi.23329"},{"key":"ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5455\/aim.2012.20.72-84"},{"key":"ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15252\/embr.201439608"}],"container-title":["European Addiction Research"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/487590","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/487590","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T12:44:53Z","timestamp":1745412293000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000487590"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018]]},"references-count":20,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,3]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,10]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000487590","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{"is-supplemented-by":[{"id-type":"doi","id":"10.6084\/m9.figshare.6106055","asserted-by":"subject"}]},"ISSN":["1022-6877","1421-9891"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1022-6877","type":"print"},{"value":"1421-9891","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018]]}}}
