“…Over the last decades, with the increasing awareness and global actions towards climate change and global warming, research on heat stress in farm animals especially poultry has gained attention, as evidenced by the annual increment in the number of publications. The number of publications and citation counts achieved each year is an indicator of the research interest and progress made by researchers in that specific area ( Musa et al, 2020 ; Xu et al, 2022 ). Several researchers, countries, institutions, and industry partners have collaborated on studies to address “heat stress in poultry”, thus necessitating this bibliometric analysis to understand the milestones achieved, research gaps uncovered, and the trends for future research.…”

Background: Heat stress remains a major environmental factor affecting poultry production. With growing concerns surrounding climate change and its antecedent of global warming, research on heat stress in poultry has gradually gained increased attention. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the current status, identify the research frontiers, and highlight the research trends on heat stress in poultry research using bibliometric analysis.Methods: The literature search was performed on the Web of Science Core Collection database for documents published from 2000 to 2021. The documents retrieved were analyzed for their publication counts, countries, institutions, keywords, sources, funding, and citation records using the bibliometric app on R software. Network analysis for co-authorship, co-occurrence, citation, co-citation, and bibliographic coupling was visualized using the VOSviewer software.Results: A total of 468 publications were retrieved, and over the past two decades, there was a gradual increase in the annual number of publications (average growth rate: 4.56%). China had the highest contribution with respect to the number of publications, top contributing authors, collaborations, funding agencies, and institutions. Nanjing Agricultural University, China was the most prolific institution. Kazim Sahin from Firat University, Turkey contributed the highest number of publications and citations to heat stress in poultry research, and Poultry Science was the most productive and the most cited journal. The top 10 globally cited documents mainly focused on the effects of heat stress, alleviation of heat stress, and the association between heat stress and oxidative stress in poultry. All keywords were grouped into six clusters which included studies on “growth performance”, “intestinal morphology”, “heat stress”, “immune response”, “meat quality”, and “oxidative stress” as current research hotspots. In addition, topics such as; “antioxidants”, “microflora”, “intestinal barrier”, “rna-seq”, “animal welfare”, “gene expression”, “probiotics”, “feed restriction”, and “inflammatory pathways” were identified for future research attention.Conclusion: This bibliometric study provides a detailed and comprehensive analysis of the global research trends on heat stress in poultry over the last two decades, and it is expected to serve as a useful reference for potential research that will help address the impacts of heat stress on poultry production globally.

“…Still, citation information is easily retrievable with publicly available tools such a Google Scholar although citation statistics differ across databases (García-Pérez, 2010 ; Gehanno et al, 2013 ). Citation numbers can also be misleading if the citations are negative (Xu et al, 2022 ), i.e., reflect a criticism of a specific work, if citations are related to non-scientific aspects of the publication (Mammola et al, 2022 ; Tahamtan & Bornmann, 2019 ), promoted as a journal cover paper (Rachatasumrit et al, 2022), or if the citation totals contain many self-citations (González-Sala et al, 2019 ). It is thus possible that a problematic work accumulates a high citation count based on critical comments, or an unimportant work gains a high citation count because of a researcher’s self-promotion strategy to gain visibility.…”

Starstruck by journal prestige and citation counts? On students’ bias and perceptions of trustworthiness according to clues in publication references

Research is becoming increasingly accessible to the public via open access publications, researchers’ social media postings, outreach activities, and popular disseminations. A healthy research discourse is typified by debates, disagreements, and diverging views. Consequently, readers may rely on the information available, such as publication reference attributes and bibliometric markers, to resolve conflicts. Yet, critical voices have warned about the uncritical and one-sided use of such information to assess research. In this study we wanted to get insight into how individuals without research training place trust in research based on clues present in publication references. A questionnaire was designed to probe respondents’ perceptions of six publication attributes. A total of 148 students responded to the questionnaire of which 118 were undergraduate students (with limited experience and knowledge of research) and 27 were graduate students (with some knowledge and experience of research). The results showed that the respondents were mostly influenced by the number of citations and the recency of publication, while author names, publication type, and publication origin were less influential. There were few differences between undergraduate and graduate students, with the exception that undergraduate students more strongly favoured publications with multiple authors over publications with single authors. We discuss possible implications for teachers that incorporate research articles in their curriculum.
