Lexicography has seen significant advancements during the past seven decades. This paper aims to provide a thorough review of lexicography research by analysing 7302 related publications from the Web of Science Core Collection database with two visualization tools: VOSviewer and CiteSpace. The lexicography studies are initially evaluated for the heated research topics, followed by identifying the most influential references, authors, journals, institutions, and nations/regions accordingly. Furthermore, through the analysis of co-cited references and keywords co-occurrence, the forthcoming research endeavours in lexicography are believed to encompass the prioritization of the user perspective in dictionary compilation, the emphasis on online and electronic dictionary development, and the exploration of dictionary integration with online technology.
