The Study on Food Safety of 15 ‘RCEP’ Countries: Based on VOSviewer and Scimago Graphica

ABSTRACT

In January 2022, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) was officially ratified, marking a significant milestone as it came into effect with the participation of 15 countries. The primary objective of this research endeavor is to employ advanced analytical tools, specifically VOSviewer and Scimago Graphica, to conduct a comprehensive analysis of scholarly articles focusing on the critical topic of food safety within the 15 “RCEP” countries during the period spanning 2022 to 2023. A rigorous selection process was meticulously undertaken, resulting in the identification of 323 pertinent articles from the highly regarded Web of Science database, adhering to specific conditions set by the researcher. The primary outcome of this study entails a thorough examination and identification of prominent research hotspots within the field of food safety across the 15 “RCEP” countries. The findings of this research investigation are expected to make a substantial contribution to the existing body of knowledge, providing valuable insights and facilitating further advancements in understanding and addressing food safety concerns within the context of the “RCEP” countries.
