Abstract: Biomedical research used for defense purposes may also be 
applied to biological weapons development. To mitigate risk, the U.S. 
Government has attempted to monitor and regulate biomedical research labs, 
especially those that study bioterrorism agents/diseases. However, 
monitoring worldwide biomedical researchers and their work is still an 
issue. In this study, we developed an integrated approach to mapping 
worldwide bioterrorism research literature. By utilizing knowledge mapping 
techniques, we analyzed the productivity status, collaboration status, and 
emerging topics in bioterrorism domain. The analysis results provide 
insights into the research status of bioterrorism agents/diseases and thus 
allow a more comprehensive view, of bioterrorism researchers and ongoing 
work.
