Abstrakt: Lilium spp. polysaccharides (LSPs) are gaining significant attention for their diverse health benefits, including antioxidant, antitumor, and antibacterial properties. This paper critically analyzes a recent comprehensive review by Li et al., published in International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, focusing on LSP extraction, purification, and health benefits. While the original review offers valuable insights, this critique identifies opportunities to strengthen the bibliometric analysis section. This study employs a comprehensive search strategy in Scopus using specific keywords and covering a broader time frame (1975-2023), revealing 94 research articles on LSPs. The critique proposes improvements to enhance transparency and impact, such as specifying search queries and Boolean operators used across databases, detailing selection criteria, and incorporating advanced analyses. This article discusses author keyword analysis, co-citation analysis of cited authors, and bibliographic coupling analysis of documents using VOSviewer software. The global landscape mapping of LSP relationships involving authors, countries, and keywords was determined using RStudio software. These refinements will provide a more robust foundation for understanding the LSP research landscape and future research directions while also addressing common pitfalls and suggesting improvements in bibliometric analysis for future studies.
