“…In this regard, keyword analysis can be used to determine the progress in the research frontiers associated with knowledge [11], proposing the gap of keyword analysis in rural development with medicinal and aromatic plants studies. Herewith the core results, this section should be considered as the most important contribution of the manuscript [12].Co-occurrence and the author keywords might be considered as one of the factors to provide information on rural development coupled with plants and their products. In this context, one keyword was considered as the minimum number of occurrences of a keyword.…”

Abstract. Medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) are of interest for human uses from the prehistoric times to the present day. Importance and demand for medicinal and aromatic plants are always continuous. The plant-based drugs, health products, pharmaceuticals, food additives, and cosmetics may contribute to economics for the people living in rural areas as an alternative economic value chain for developing countries. The strategy and priority for selection of some elite plants for their conservation, cultivation, processing, and standardization may promote a new way of livelihood in rural areas. However, quantitative data are lacking on the profile of published researches regarding rural development and MAPs across the world. The object of the study was to examine the profile of original and review articles under the topic of rural development using bibliometric analysis. The VOSviewer tool was used to visualize the results. The documents including "rural development in "Article title, Abstract, Keywords", but limited to containing the topic "medicinal and aromatic plants" were extracted from the Scopus database. Briefly, the research was done using rural development in "Article title, Abstract, Keywords" and then 70,745 documents were retrieved. The second step was limitation of the results to "medicinal and aromatic plants". In this context, 113 documents relevant and available peer-reviewed publications were analysed. According to the systematic analysis, 4169 terms, 346 authors, 384 keywords and 56 countries were determined. The annual trends of publications in the field of the research, considering the number of documents, number of authors, levels of collaborations among authors and countries, yearly publications and core publishing journals were analysed. Along with the results, medicinal plants, Himalaya, conservation, Ethnobotany, Nepal, traditional knowledge, rural development, sustainable development, domestication, Ethnomedicine, livelihood, non-timber forest products, value chain and marketing are of the most pronounced keywords and the discussion was made on those keywords. Of these studies, India, the United States, Italy, Nepal and South Africa were the predominant five countries in dissemination of the documents. Finally, the study was concluded with future outlooks and recommendations.

“…The Chinese capital had 91 percent more articles than did New York City ( Table 2). The massive growth of Beijing's scientific output has been observed and described in past studies (Andersson, Gunessee, Matthiessen, & Find, 2014;Hu, Guo, & Hou, 2017;Maisonobe, Eckert, Grossetti, Jégou, & Milard, 2016;van Noorden, 2010;Zhou, Thijs, & Glänzel, 2009a); however, the growth rate of the output is quite astonishing. In the period from 1986 to 2015, a greater number of articles were created in Beijing than in Spain.…”

In tandem with the rapid globalisation of science, spatial scientometrics has become an important research sub-field in scientometric studies. Recently, numerous spatial scientometric contributions have focused on the examination of cities' scientific output by using various scientometric indicators. In this paper, I analyse cities' scientific output worldwide in terms of the number of journal articles indexed by the Scopus database, in the period from 1986 to 2015. Furthermore, I examine which countries are the most important collaborators of cities. Finally, I identify the most productive disciplines in each city. I use GPS Visualizer to illustrate the scientometric data of nearly 2,200 cities on maps. Results show that cities with the highest scientific output are mostly located in developed countries and China. Between 1986 and 2015, the greatest number of scientific articles were created in Beijing. The international hegemony of the United States in science has been described by many studies, and is also reinforced by the fact that the United States is the most important collaborator to more than 75 percent of all cities. Medicine is the most productive discipline in two-thirds of cities. Furthermore, cities having the highest scientific output in specific disciplines show well-defined geographical patterns.

“…However, despite fostering development, not all of these initiatives have achieved their expected outcomes. Therefore, calls have been made to adapt these policies, because research investment in a few selected universities is creating systemic, institutional and geographical imbalances that may undermine the formal learning roles and contributions of higher education systems as a whole (e.g., Hu, Guo, & Hou, 2017;Zong & Zhang, 2019). This transformation has been challenging in many respects.…”
