| 總結: | Background: We reviewed the literature on forensic genetics from 1991 to 2022, emphasizing short tandem repeats. The objectives were to assess the caliber of research and draw attention to issues facing scientists and practitioners. Methods: Except for China, a metrological study was performed on forensic literature from 1991 to 2022 using the Web of Science (WoS). Results: The “journal of forensic sciences” had 380 papers that were the most read out of 2139 publications in the study. Also, “forensic science international: Genetics” had the most citations. Analysis with R software showed that 2001 was the peak publication year. “Journal of forensic sciences” and Budowle B were the most prolific. “Forensic science international: genetics” and Heller MJ received the most citations, and “forensic science”, “STRs”, and “DNA typing” were among the frequently used keywords. Conclusion: The study could help scientists understand the trends of short tandem repeats based on forensic science research by highlighting the top ten research institutions, funding prospects, authors, and high-citation journals to anticipate future research directions.
