Bibliometric analysis of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) research from Plant Sciences category based on Web of Science

Abstract

Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) is one of the most significant horticultural cash crops in the world. The study aimed to identify and analyse the 2,930 articles and review type papers of strawberry research from the Plant Sciences category based on the Web of Science. Papers mainly written in English (2,894, 98.771%), were from a total of 8,838 authors, 96 countries/territories, 1,845 organisations and published in 197 journals and book series. The top seven core journals are ranked as Plant Disease (252, 8.601%), Phytopathology (229, 7.816%), Plant Pathology (93, 3.174%), Frontiers in Plant Science (89, 3.308%), Canadian Journal of Plant Science (86, 2.935%), European Journal of Plant Pathology (86, 2.935%) and Journal of Experimental Botany (86, 2.935%), and these journals each published >86 papers. The top five countries and regions were the USA, People's Republic of China, Spain, Canada and England. The top five organisations were the University of Florida, USDA ARS, University of Malaga, University of California Davis, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. The top five authors are Peres, Natalia A. (Peres, Natalia; Peres, N.A.); Madden, LV; Munoz-Blanco, Juan (Munoz-Blanco, J); Schwab, Wilfried (Schwab, W) and Ellis, MA, each published >25 papers. All keywords of the strawberry research from the Plant Sciences category were separated into 11 clusters for different research topics. Visualisations offer exploratory information on the current state in a scientific field or discipline as well as indicate possible developments in the future. The review could provide a valuable guide for designing future studies.

Research on Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda, J.E Smith): A bibliometric of scientific research (1980-2022)

“…Web of Science (Wos) is a database that contains different documents such as academic journals, review papers, books, conference papers, and many other scienti c documents (Yuan and Sun, 2021). In this analysis, WoS was used to retrieve FAW-related publications.…”

“…Meagher RL, Omoto C, and Huang F are having bigger circles and that shows that they are connected to many authors. It is also worth noting that authors in the same clusters usually work together or are working under the same institution (Yuan et al, 2021). Authors such as Yang SJ, Huang F, and Head GP closely work together and collaborate in some research works.…”

Effect of different growing media on pomological and phytochemical parameters of Fragaria vesca ʻYellow Wonderʼ and Fragaria ×ananassa ʻCamarosaʼ: a comparative study

“…Strawberries are grown in a various locations and climates worldwide, ranging from open fields to greenhouses. The choice of the growing media is a crucial agent which has an affect on plant development, fruit performance, and quality [ 11 , 12 ]. Traditionally, soil has been the most commonly used media for strawberry cultivation.…”

The influence of plant extracts on root biostimulation in different strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duchense) cultivars

“…The use of plant extracts and other natural compounds is considered an important tool to reduce the use of synthetic pesticides in the implementation of IPM practices [Seiber et al 2014], as well as in strategies for plant protection in organic farming as this category of products is included among the compounds allowed by the European Union legislation for plant protection of organic crops [European Commission 2021]. In particular, for strawberry (Fragaria × × ananassa Duchense), one of the most cultivated berry crops around the world with about 9.2 Mt production, and in Europe with about 1.8 Mt [Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations 2021, Yuan and Sun 2022], the management of many severe pests in an open field and greenhouse cultivation has become difficult due to recent restrictions in agrochemical use and the lack of effective alternatives.…”
