Abstract
In order to recognize research directions, monitor research hot spots and directions for further researches, this work evaluates the bibliometric analysis of quality control charts. So, based on the following analysis—chronological distribution, country distribution, keyword co-occurrence and author co-occurrence—a summary of quality control chart studies from 2022 to 2023 was obtained using VOSviewer software. A total of 2702 research papers published were examined. The findings indicate that the topics of "engineering", "management sciences & statistics" and "materials science & automation control systems" are of particular interest in quality control chart researches. In addition, the keywords “statistical process control”, “average run length” and “control charts” have seen a sharp increase in recent years in term of citations. Besides, William H. Woodall, Douglas C. Montgomery and Matthew R Reynolds were identified as the highly referenced authors. The USA, China, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Malaysia were found to have the highest influence on quality control charts researches among the 76 nations studied in this study, with 618, 485, 260, 202, and 140 publications, respectively.
