“…We use a bibliometric analysis approach to uncover valuable patterns and insights in DNA barcode research in Indonesia, as has been done in many biodiversity studies (e.g. Stork and Astrin 2014;Sofyantoro et al, 2022;Tan et al, 2022;Yu et al, 2022). This insight allows us to assess any novel patterns or trends for practical purposes, particular taxa in the identification of biodiversity, as well as the limitations of DNA barcode research in Indonesia.…”

Indonesia is well-known for having a vast and rich endowment of unique and genetically diverse biodiversity resources. Currently, initiatives are taking place around the world to generate DNA barcode libraries to make these data available to better understand biodiversity. The objectives of this study are to document DNA barcode research trends and detect the extent to which its application has evolved in Indonesia. The analysis was investigated using a compilation of 446 published papers, obtained from Harzing's Publish or Perish 8. The number of DNA barcode publication records has increased by a geometric average of 15.4/year. The number of studies involving molecular identification (30.1%), species and genetic diversity (10%), and evolutionary or phylogenetic studies (10%) appears to have driven much of the publication activity. The top three taxa studied include fishes (32.7%), plants (24.8%), and invertebrates (12.5%; except insects). We discovered that using a single molecular marker is still dominant (62.8%). We conclude that the practices of DNA barcoding data are likely to become a valuable resource in many sectors and focuses. However, the number of Indonesian DNA barcode records in public databases is relatively lower than in other mega biodiversity countries. The establishment of DNA barcoding initiatives and a national DNA barcode reference library in Indonesia would promote DNA barcoding applications to help conserve Indonesia biodiversity.

“…Such studies are receiving considerable attention, as they provide valuable information on scientific research and its progression in a specific field of study (Aleixandre-Benavent et al, 2018). Several papers have been published employing bibliometric analysis techniques to evaluate a particular subject area or topic of research at qualitative and quantitative level: Tsunami research (Chiu and Ho, 2007;Jain et al, 2021;Suprapto et al, 2022); water research (Wang et al, 2010); biotechnology (Dalpe, 2002;Vain, 2007), deforestation (Aleixandre-Benavent et al, 2018); biodiversity loss (Tan et al, 2022); renewable energy (Rosokhata et al, 2021); ecotourism (Liu and Li, 2020;Khanra et al, 2021); climate change (Wang et al, 2014;Rana, 2020;Fu and Waltman, 2022); and COVID-19 research (Chahrour et al, 2020;Wang and Tian, 2021). In this paper, we perform a bibliometric analysis of published literature on threat assessment and prioritization of plants for conservation for the time period 1989-2022.…”

The present study investigated the evolution and current situation of research on threat assessment and prioritization of species for conservation at a global level by analyzing bibliometrically the most relevant and productive authors, sources, and countries, most cited papers, country collaborations and most frequent keywords as reflected in the scientific literature using the Web of Science database. From 1989–2022, a total of 315 relevant documents were retrieved from 129 sources. Results revealed that since 1989, there has been an increase in the number of publications on threat assessment and prioritization of species for conservation. A total of 1,300 authors have contributed to the field through their research contributions. Among the 129 sources, the journals ‘Biodiversity and Conservation’ and ‘Biological Conservation’ are the most relevant and productive. Among countries, the USA has produced the highest number of publications, whereas Benin has the highest Multiple Country Production with a rate of 71.4%. Among the authors, ‘Keith DA’ has received the most citations, and among the sources, the journal ‘Biological Conservation’ received the highest number of citations. Conservation, biodiversity, conservation priorities, species richness, and threatened species are the most frequently used keywords and follow power-law distribution. The present study will be useful to the researchers in determining which journals to target and how to identify potential research partners in the concerned field. It is recommended that institutions in developed countries be encouraged to lead research programs in developing and underdeveloped countries so that such studies will be carried out at local, regional, and global scale, as biodiversity loss is a global issue.
