Abnormal swellings in plants are called galls. Galls may appear in leaves, stem or in roots. Stem galls are fungal infections, causing abnormal swelling of plant tissues in stem may be due to the insects, bacteria or fungus, and called stem galls. Stressed and injured plants are more prone to stem galls. This bibliometric analysis had been conducted to understand the active authors, organizations, journals, and countries involved in the research domain of “Stem gall”. All published articles related to “Stem gall” from “Scopus”, were analyzed using the VOS viewer to develop analysis tables and visualization maps. This article had set the objective to consolidate the literature regarding the “Stem gall” and also to find out the trends related to the same. The most active journals related to this plant disease are Environmental Entomology, Austral Ecology and Canadian Entomologist. The USA is the country where active research is going on regarding stem gall, followed by Spain. The top organizations focusing on stem gall are the Department of Biology, Laurentian University of Canada; Department of Biology, Illinois University and Tropical Weeds Research Centre, Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines of Australia. The most active authors are Shorthouse J.D.Abrahamson W.G., Weis A.E., and Isaias R.M.S. Stem galls offer a new avenue for researchers.
