As a new powerful technique for nanomaterials fabrication, laser ablation in liquids (LAL) has experienced a fast development from primary fundamental principle to new materials design and exploration in applications of energy, biomedical and environmental science. Here, on the basis of the database of Web of Science, we apply the principles of bibliometrics to understand the developing trend and hot topics in LAL field. From 1998 to 2016, the major publishing countries, paper counts, research subjects, research units, the most cited papers etc., were acquired and analyzed in this paper. The recent hot and main studying topics have also been concluded and prospected. It is believed that this contribution definitely do great favor to broad readers to capture the main development trends and research essentials.
