Cellulose is the most abundant biomaterial and is widely regarded as the most abundant organic substance and polysaccharide. Nanocellulose has been isolated from various materials, including cotton, ramie, alga, bamboo and tunicate. This study aims to do a mapping analysis using the VOSviewer application. In a scientific database using Scopus, the keyword "cellulose nanocrystal" is utilized. Based on a search of 7,752 relevant publications published between 2013 and 2023. The bibliometric analysis was conducted using the VOSviewer software and Scopus Analytics. VOSviewer provides two separate ways of visualization: network and overlay. 89,2% of journal articles, 6,3% of review papers, and 4,5 % of conference papers were obtained. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) and the isolation method of nanocrystals have been essential research subjects. China is the leading country in publications and research collaborations with cellulose nanocrystal subjects. An increasing trend until 2023 in cellulose nanocrystal research is the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules and Polymers. The best resource is Materials Science. Various isolation methods have been used to isolate CNC from various raw materials.
