Herba adalah tumbuhan yang mempunyai nilai dari segi perubatan, khasiat makanan, perasa dan baunya dan ia merupakan satu khazanah alam semulajadi yang amat bernilai. Dalam perubatan melayu tradisional, herba sangat penting dalam merawat penyakit dan menyelesaikan masalah yang dihadapi oleh mereka sama ada semasa sihat mahupun semasa sakit. Dalam artikel ini penulis menumpukan kajian bibliometrik dalam menganalisis kajian akademik yang berkaitan herba, yang mana ia menjadi penanda aras dalam produktiviti penyelidikan. Artikel ini mempunyai beberapa objektif penting iaitu : 1) mengkaji konsep bibliometrik terhadap pengaplikasian herba yang terdapat dalam kajian akademik, 2) mengkaji jenis-jenis penerbitan kajian akademik yang mengkaji tentang herba, 3) menganalisis perkembangan disiplin-disiplin ilmu yang terlibat dalam kajian herba. Dalam kajian ini, penulis telah menggunakan metode kuantitatif dan analisis untuk mengukur tahap produktiviti dengan melihat sumbangan dan peranan penghasilan karya ilmiah dalam bidang ini. Hasil kajian yang dijalankan oleh penulis mendapati kajian ini penting untuk difahami agar ia menjadi satu ukuran bagi ahli akademik dalam bidang keilmuan.
