Súhrn: To obtain a solid evidence basis for public policies, it is necessary to thoroughly monitor the respective research and identify potential biases or underresearched areas. This paper maps the research on Nutri-Score (NS), a food labelling and rating system, currently adopted by six European countries. A structured review of the existing literature on the NS using an excerpt of 308 Scopus-listed articles in addition to machine-learning-based clustering of keywords establishes four topical categories within the bulk of the literature, capturing the essence of NS research: NS in comparison to other front-of-package labels, effectiveness of the NS, NS as a measure of food classification, NS and nutritional policy. Additionally, the article delves deeper into the network of researchers involved in NS research, their interlinkages and positions within the network, establishing the presence of three distinctly leading research groups. The discussion is dominated by the group involved with the conception of the NS, which bears a significant potential for bias, as pointed out by other research as well. Underresearched areas include: psychological mechanisms behind responses to the NS, socio-economic particularities and cross-cultural research, use of actual retail data and the use of real-world environments.
