Microplastic pollution in marine environment has been a growing public concern in recent years. This article analyzed the scientific literatures related to marine microplastics through a combination of social network analysis and bibliometrics. Researches related to microplastics have grown rapidly since 2011, with approximately two-thirds of the total number of articles published in the last three years. Researchers in United States and Europe have provided tremendous support, however, the efforts and progress of Chinese researchers cannot be ignored. Moreover, the international cooperation is getting closer, and related strategies are launched continuously. The results showed that Marine Pollution Bulletin is the most active journal. Through keyword analysis, we understand the development history and current hotspots of the whole microplastics researches, including ecological risks, interrelationship between microplastics and other pollutants, and detection methodology. Finally, some suggestions and perspectives for future microplastics research are provided.
