“…Temporal trend of studies with microcrustaceans Our results showed that there was an increase in the number of studies with microcrustaceans over 35 years in the rice fields; however, the number of studies was low compared to a previous scientometric study involving a general analysis of rice fields (Liu et al 2017). This reduced number of studies may be due to the use of a specific group in our study in contrast to the general analysis of the other studies (Morooka et al 2014, Liu et al 2017). Moreover, it may be related to less incentive for ecological research on these groups in rice fields, since general scientific research involving rice has grown by about 6.9% per year (Liu et al (2022) 94(4) e20201752 8 | 16 from ours to compile and filter the studies to be analyzed.…”

We evaluated the worldwide trends in studies of the active and dormant forms of microcrustaceans in rice fi elds, and the potential of this environment as a stock of diversity through a scientometric analysis. Web of Science and Scopus databases were used to compile the 77 studies published before 2019. Publications were distributed over 35 years, with a positive correlation between the number of studies and the year of publication (rho = 0.34). The identifi ed studies were from 18 countries, and 58.4% were conducted in Japan, Italy, the United States, and Spain. Most studies addressed more than two groups of microcrustaceans (37.6%), followed by those focused on Cladocera (27.2%) and Ostracoda (18.1%). We quantifi ed 301 species from six groups of microcrustaceans, the majority of which were Cladocera (41.5%) and Ostracoda (39.8%).The greatest richness of microcrustaceans identifi ed in studies were found in Italy,

“…Some major rice‐producing countries (e.g., China, Japan, United States, and the Philippines) contributed most of publications in Rice (Cañas‐Guerrero et al., 2013). Liu, Zhang, and Wang (2017) also indicated that China, Japan, and the United States were the most productive countries regarding rice research. The International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines ranked first in research institutions with the most publications and total citations.…”

Agronomy journals form a core part of the process of scholarly communication and scientific research in the agronomic field. Determining the key features of high-impact agronomic journals will be a central component for identifying the disciplinary development in the field of agronomy. In this study, we conducted a bibliometric study to fill this knowledge gap based on 64,703 articles published in 18 main agronomy journals since 1948 derived from the Scopus database. Our main findings were that (a) over 20% of publications in Advances in Agronomy and Agricultural and Forest Meteorology received more than 50 citations; (b) authors from the United States, China, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Australia published the most articles in these journals, comprising 22.4, 11.5, 10.7, 8.7, and 8.0% of the total number of publications, respectively; and (c) journals published in a given country had a greater number of papers published by authors of that country than by authors of other countries. Furthermore, three clusters for these 18 journals were identified that included the topics of agronomy, interactions between agronomy and soil sciences, and interactions between agronomy and plant sciences. The results of this study provide valuable insights regarding the current state of and future development trends in agronomic journals. 1 INTRODUCTION Agronomy is defined as the application of various soil and plant sciences to improve field management and crop production (Sumberg, Thompson, & Woodhouse, 2013). Agronomy integrates various scientific disciplines and mainly deals with crop calendars, genotypes, plant populations, fertilizers and manures, irrigation, management of biotic and abiotic stresses, climate and weather impacts on agriculture, and development and validation of cropping and farming systems (Rana & Kumar, 2014). Over the last few decades, agronomic research has increased substantially and changed fundamentally in context due

“…The study is conducted to elucidate the pattern of collaboration operating in the field of rice crop research and aims to achieve the following objectives: (1) to explore the growth characteristics of knowledge productions for India in the field of rice crop research during 1995-2014; (2) to identify the type of co-authorship pattern and measures the strength of collaboration among Indian rice scientists; (3) to construct the domestic and international collaboration profile of Indian rice scientists; and (4) to examine the pattern of collaboration taking place between major agencies active in rice crop research in India. Although bibliometric methods have already received enough attention in the rice crop research, the majority of previous studies [7,8] harbors on traditional methods such as co-author and co-citation analysis, which do not provide a complete picture of collaboration practiced in rice crop research. An attempt is made in the study to apply both co-author and social network analysis to capture broadly the intricacies of collaboration operating in the field of rice crop research in India.…”

This paper aims to capture the pattern of collaboration operating in the field of rice crop research in India. The present study employs both bibliometric techniques as well as social network analysis to analyze the publication output indexed by Scopus database in rice crop research during 1995-2014. The study finds that Indian rice scientists prioritize collaborative research practices. Indian rice scientists demonstrate a preference for mega-authored publications. The increasing trend in the mean values of Degree of Collaboration, Collaboration Coefficient and Modified Collaboration Coefficient indicate that the proportion of multi-or mega-authored papers are accelerating steadily. Moreover, the increase in international collaboration indices manifests that the rice scientists in India have been gradually broadening the ambit of research collaboration to cope with the pace, scope and profoundness of transformations at the global level. The social network analysis of agencies reveals that the State Agricultural Universities, Indian Council of Agricultural Research and International Institutes have emerged as core collaborators in the field of rice crop research. Moreover, weak collaboration profile of industry indicates that although rice crop research has shifted from 'Mode 1' to 'Mode 2' form of knowledge production but its optimization is yet to be realized.
