Bibliometric Analysis of Cotton Research from Plant Sciences Category Based on Web of Science

ABSTRACT

Cotton is the main source of renewable fiber in the world and is primarily used for textile production. This study analyzed 3,856 papers of cotton research from Plant Sciences category during 1990 to 2021 based on the WoS, papers mainly written in English (98.937%), were from 10,536 authors, 87 countries/territories, 1,652 organizations and published in 174 Journals and book series. Top 5 core journals ranked as Weed Technology (207, 5.368%), Euphytica (191, 4.953%), Pakistan Journal of Botany (189, 4.901%), Frontiers in Plant Science (137, 3.553%) and Theoretical and Applied Genetics (114, 2.956%). Top 5 countries and regions were USA, Peoples R China, Pakistan, Australia, and India. Top 5 organizations were USDA ARS, Chinese Acad Agr Sci, Nanjing Agr Univ., Huazhong Agr Univ., and Univ. Arkansas. Top 5 authors are Zhang Xianlong, Zhang Tianzhen, Zhang Jinfa, Jenkins Johnie N. and Jones Don C. All keywords of the cotton research from Plant Sciences category were separated seven clusters for different research topic. Visualizations offer exploratory information on the current state in a scientific field or discipline as well as indicate possible developments in the future. This work is useful for student identifying graduate schools and researchers selecting journals.

摘要:

棉花是世界上可再生纤维的主要来源，主要用于纺织生产. 本研究利用WoS系统对1990～2021年间植物科学类棉花研究论文3856篇进行了分析，论文以英文为主（98.937%），作者10536人，分布于87个国家/地区、1652个组织机构，发表在174种期刊和丛书中. 排名前5位的核心期刊依次为杂草技术（207，5.368%）、Euphytica（191，4.953%）、巴基斯坦植物学杂志（189，4.901%）、植物科学前沿（137，3.553%）和理论与应用遗传学（114，2.956%）. 排名前5位的国家和地区是美国、中国、巴基斯坦、澳大利亚和印度. 排名前五位的机构是美国农业部农业研究所、中国农业科学院、南京农业大学、华中农业大学和阿肯色大学. 前五名作者分别张献龙、张天真、张金发、詹金斯·约翰尼、还有琼斯·唐·.将植物科学范畴内的棉花研究关键词按不同的研究主题分为七类. 可视化提供了一个科学领域或学科当前状态的探索性信息，同时也指出了未来可能的发展. 这项工作有助于学生确定研究生院和研究人员选择期刊.
