Balneology has a long European and Asian tradition and Romania can be the cornerstone of international bridges in this area due to its geographical position, legendary tradition and extraordinary natural resources of all kind. Each Balneary Resort begins its story with the discovery of natural factors whose therapeutical value has been clinically and experimentally proven by scientific personalities of that time. (1). Material and method. This article is a systematic and summarizing review of all published articles related to the thalassotherapy and thermal medicine subject found in Web of Science Core Collection. The methodological work is focused on the development of a bibliometric study of the literature generated regarding “thalassotherapy” therm. The analysis process followed integrates the use of descriptive-quantitative statistical techniques, which constitute a series of bibiliometric indicators that allow explore the research dynamics followed so far by the scientific community. These bibliometric indicators are numerical data that enable the analysis of diverse features of the scientific activity, linked both to the production and consumption of information and are based on the so-called “bibliometric laws”. Results and discussions. Analyzing an article database can be of real impact on the development of the field of Thalassotherapy but also can drive the future implications in the scientific arena. Conclusions. In balneary tourism, the importance of researching natural resources is essential for the development of a balneary resort promotion plan, thus providing information on the therapeutic properties of natural factors, their contribution to our health and the biological mechanisms by which they act on our body.
