Therefore, understanding the essential subjects relevant to neuromarketing is important for expanding collaboration and to push the progression of research towards the desired goals perfectly. In this paper, our goals were to assess the global research trend in neuromarketing field upon on outputs of publication, coauthorships, countries, and co-occurrences. This paper has used the Scopus database to analysis related articles between 2007 and 2018, the result was 137 journal articles. In 2012, the publications' number has increased by about 12 articles each two-year, which led to a steady rise in the sum of the total publications. Approximately 52% of the universal publications were published in the USA, Spain, UK, Italy and Germany leading the other 32 countries/territories.
