The main objective of this study is to conduct a bibliometric study of Traditional Medicinal Plant Database research analysis of twenty years (2001 – 2021) of trends in Traditional Medicinal Plant Database research topics. The literature was extracted and analyzed using the Web of Science database. VOSViewer software was used to identify and visualize key trends, influential authors, and journals. The 654 filtered documents were selected based on three main criteria which are (i) Topics on Traditional Medicinal Plant Database, (ii) Type of documents on ‘Article’, and (iii) Year Published within 2001 to 2021. We conducted several types of analyses on the body of research using VOSViewer which are (i) Co-authorship analysis, (ii) Co-occurrence analysis, (iii) Citation analysis, and (iv) Co-citation analysis. The main contribution and motivation for this study are in the form of a conceptual framework of Traditional Medicinal Plant Database research topics in guiding future research in supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals agenda on ‘Quality Education’ and ‘Good Health and Well-being’. There are five major keyword theme clusters concerning the Traditional Medicinal Plant Database that we had determined based on the clusters which are (i) Plant Identification, (ii) Bioactive Activities, (iii) Medicinal Properties, (iv) Plant Classification, and (v) Plant Species themes.
