Description
Lip prints are as individual as fingerprints, and Rahul Krishna and six co-authors charted the world literature on them in a 2024 bibliometric study. Their search across major databases retrieved nearly 5,900 items, of which 198 studies met the bar for detailed analysis.
Output on cheiloscopy, the study of lip prints, has grown since 1971. India dominates the field with 133 publications, led by two universities, a concentration the authors link to forensic teaching there. Keyword maps show the field organized around forensic identification and human studies. Collaboration networks remain patchy, with international partnerships only beginning. The authors read the map as a young forensic tool with a lopsided geography: proven useful, heavily studied in one country, and waiting for the cross-border teamwork that would standardize it.
