Abstract

The September 11, 2001 attacks generated a vast body of scientific literature. This study aimed to map the structure and evolution of this knowledge through a bibliometric analysis. Using the Scopus database, we analyzed articles published between 2001 and 2024. The results show a peak in publications in 2002, followed by a gradual decline. The keyword analysis revealed a strong concentration on health-related topics such as post-traumatic stress, mental health, and trauma. Journals with the highest number of publications, such as the Journal of Traumatic Stress, confirm the predominance of the health field. We conclude that research on September 11, although initially broad, gradually specialized in the health consequences for humans, providing a quantitative overview of the intellectual legacy of the event.
