Abstract: Sports analytics has been attracting the attention of experts in the fields of sports science, and medicine, as well as statistics, data analytics, and engineering. As sports statistics is a prominent field of research, especially nowadays, when the implementation of technologies in sports and the data can be collected more easily, it would be valuable to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the articles published related to sports analytics and injury prevention. To do so, a bibliometric analysis has been performed based on the data available in the SCOPUS database. Articles published in journals in English between 2013-2023 were observed. The analysis encompassed 17309 articles. The results show a steady increase in the number of articles published yearly, from 1040 articles in 2013 to 2346 articles published in 2022. Most papers are indexed in the subject area of medicine (53.9\%), health professions (21.2\%) and others (7.4\%), which encompasses multidisciplinary, mathematics, physics and similar. Detailed bibliometric analysis will be performed, encompassing analysis per affiliation, by country, as well as by authors. The analysis will be conducted in R statistical package, using the package bibliometrix. The added value is in the presentation of how the research and publication in the field of sport analytics is changing, and providing insights into who the leading authors and institutions in the field are.
