AB  - The occurrence, distribution, and fate of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) 
      have been extensively studied worldwide; however, the patterns and dynamics of 
      scientific publications on POPs are still unclear. In this study, the research 
      trends on dirty dozen POPs, which are identified under the Stockholm Convention 
      (SC) for immediate action were investigated and evaluated in a broad context to 
      obtain up-to-date information. For this purpose, bibliometric analysis was 
      carried out between 1945 and 2021 using the Web of Science (WoS) database. A 
      total of 197,029 publications were analyzed. "Environmental Sciences" was the 
      most popular research category and the USA was the leading country in dirty dozen 
      POPs studies. The research hotspots are related to the most used keywords such as 
      "Polychlorinated Biphenyls", "Dioxin" and "Persistent Organic Pollutants". In the 
      evaluation of keyword clusters with highlighted research points, 7 clusters were 
      obtained from the publications, which are related to the chemical properties, 
      synthesis, structures, health effects, and analysis methods of dirty dozen POPs. 
      The number of publications and, accordingly, the scientific interest in dirty 
      dozen POPs listed under the SC has not reached equilibrium and continues 
      regardless of the level of development of countries in the world.
