However, even today, researchers remain dissatisfied with the sufficiency of nanotoxicology's terminological and methodological apparatus. Nanotechnology is an emerging, cross-disciplinary technology designed to create and synthesize new materials at the nanoscale (generally defined as a particle with a size of 1 -100 nm) to generate innovative or altered material properties . Despite numerous potential biomedical applications, engineered nanomaterials' toxicological perspective is poorly understood or somewhat unclear, gaining considerable attention in nanotoxicology. However, nanotoxicology is in the embryonic stage of its development. It is a vital part of nanomedicine and discusses interactions of engineered nanomaterials with biological systems or environments. Emphasis is given to the correlations between nanomaterials' physicochemical and surface properties by inducing toxic or adversarial biological responses . In this regard, it seems essential to study nanotoxicology development in 2010 -2011 to predict its development trends. Scientometrics is an important tool for this task. Scientometrics is a branch of informatics that analyzes patterns in the scientific literature, intending to comprehend emerging trends and a research area's knowledge structure (de Castilhos Ghisi, Zuanazzi, Fabrin, & Oliveira, 2020). It has been successfully applied many times to analyze the state of nanotechnology nanopharmaceutics , and nanotoxicology. However, they do not cover the post-2014 period.
