Foxtail millet is part of the millet group but is less popular than sorghum and pearl millet. Nevertheless, the potential of this plant is considered promising for diversifying food nutrition, health products, feed, biofuel, and several other uses, as indicated by various publications, including review articles. However, studies, analyses, and development trends of foxtail millet are lacking, and the current development status of foxtail millet and future projections cannot be systematically identified. Bibliometric analysis offers a method to clarify the current state of the development and interaction of a study topic for systematic analysis. Therefore, this study conducted a bibliometric review to examine the development, interaction, and projections of foxtail millet research regarding publication trends, countries involved, and keywords. Publications related to foxtail millet were first mined from the Scopus database and analyzed using Biblioshiny R Studio and VOSviewer software, with 2091 Scopus documents identified as being associated with the topic of foxtail millet. A significant development occurred in 2012 when the entire foxtail millet genome was explored. The main countries that focus on developing foxtail millet are China and India. The development of foxtail millet is focused on optimizing omics-based approaches to support the use of its potential, especially in research efforts involving climate change tolerance systems. Therefore, innovation, exploration, and potential use of foxtail millet in the future will continue to develop along with submarginal land and public health problems, including in Indonesia, which has the fourth largest population globally.
