Micro-milling through mechanical chip removal process has attracted much attention among researchers due to its flexibility and productivity that allow an extensive application for manufacturing several types of micro-components for the modern-day world. Its potential is continuously growing as the market demands continuous innovation in the manufacturing of high precision products with progressively smaller dimensions. Its global research and available literature increased very fast in recent years. Relevant topics like size effect, burr formation, surface quality, cutting forces, tool wear, vibrations, and process optimization as highlighted by a systematic bibliometric study during the period 2000–2019 must be properly addressed. The review work on such a scale was not attempted earlier by considering many parameters at a time. Hence, this study may provide a current view and future prospects of mainstream research on micro-milling worldwide.

通过机械去屑工艺进行的微铣削由于其灵活性和高生产率而得到了研究人员的广泛关注，它可以广泛地用于制造当今世界上几种类型的微零件。随着市场要求在不断缩小尺寸的高精度产品制造中不断创新，其潜力正在不断增长。近年来，其全球研究和可用文献增长非常快。在2000年至2019年期间，系统的文献计量研究强调了诸如尺寸效应，毛刺形成，表面质量，切削力，刀具磨损，振动和工艺优化等相关主题。如此规模的审查工作以前没有一次尝试通过同时考虑许多参数来进行。因此，
