In this study, articles of North and South Korea journals published in were examined for their research trends, focusing on Pine mushroom science. In North Korea, a total of 51 papers were selected for final analysis, and the number of authors per paper was 2.23. In Korea, 124 papers were finally selected, and the number of authors per paper was 3.53. In North Korea, Nam Geol published nine articles, the largest number of academic papers in the field of pine mushroom research, and in South Korea, Ka Gang-Hyun published 20 articles, the largest number of academic papers. The number of papers on pine mushrooms published in 10 North Korean academic journals from 2001 to 2023 is increasing every year, with one in 2001, two in 2002, three in 2007, three in 2013, three in 2018, four in 2020, eight in 2021, and six in 2022, especially after 2020. From 1980 to 2024, Korea increased sharply in 1997 to two in 1980, two in 1991, seven in 2003, 12 in 2006, five in 2011, one in 2022, and seven in 2024, but the number of papers has decreased since 2012. This study is considered to be meaningful in reviewing the research status and technology level in North and South Korea through academic journals for the first time in the field of Pine mushroom science.
