Caryocaraceae, a family of plants widely distributed throughout the Neotropic region, includes two woody genera: Anthodiscus and Caryocar - with 26 species. The family includes species with medical, timber, food, ecological, and cultural importance. Here we aim to unveil the current state of scientific knowledge of Caryocaraceae through a systematic review and a scientometric approach, also to trace bibliographic indicators of scientific knowledge production. Therefore, 386 studies were retrieved from the ISI Web of Science and Scopus. Our research includes de time interval from 1938 until 2019 and synthesizes information on the topics: i) Anatomy and morphology; ii) Distribution and habitat; iii) Ecology; iv) Genetics; v) Physical and biochemical characterization; vi) Farming and industry, and vii) Culture and traditional knowledge. Our findings indicate that Caryocar biology is well explored, but this is not the scenario for Anthodiscus that showed a lack of biological information, the reason we suggest efforts application to better understand this genus potential.

Caryocaraceae Voigt (Malpighiales)：基于科学图谱和系统评价的综合

Caryocaraceae 是一个广泛分布于新热带地区的植物科，包括两个木本属：Anthodiscus 和 Caryocar - 有 26 种。该科包括具有医学、木材、食物、生态和文化重要性的物种。在这里，我们的目标是通过系统回顾和科学计量方法来揭示 Caryocaraceae 科学知识的现状，同时追踪科学知识生产的书目指标。因此，从 ISI Web of Science 和 Scopus 检索了 386 项研究。我们的研究包括从 1938 年到 2019 年的时间间隔，并综合以下主题的信息：i) 解剖学和形态学；ii) 分布和栖息地；iii) 生态；iv) 遗传学；v) 物理和生化表征；vi) 农业和工业，以及 vii) 文化和传统知识。
