        abstract = {This research paper offers an in-depth bibliometric analysis of smart textiles, highlighting its development over time, present trends, and potential future paths. Smart textiles are fabrics that can sense and react to their surroundings, becoming more important in different areas like healthcare, military use, and fashion. The study uses strong bibliometric methods to examine publication data gathered from key databases, particularly Scopus and Web of Science, focusing on literature published until 2022.
This analysis uncovers important insights into global research outputs, showcasing the valuable contributions made by different countries and institutions. This paper highlights key documents and authors that have significantly influenced the conversation around smart textiles, along with emerging research topics that point to the future directions of studies in this exciting field. Some of the exciting developments include progress in materials science and nanotechnology that improve how smart textiles work, especially in health monitoring and wearable technology.
The analysis highlights how crucial it is for different fields to work together, showing that input from various scientific areas—like materials science, microelectronics, and biomedicine—is vital for pushing forward the development of smart textile technologies. This paper offers a glimpse into the intellectual framework of smart textiles research, aiming to shine a light on promising areas for future exploration and innovation. The findings are anticipated to be a helpful resource for researchers, industry stakeholders, and policymakers who are keen on the development and use of smart textiles.},
