Abstract

Abstract Background The present study aimed to reveal scientific findings on goat milk as an instrument to combat food and nutrition insecurity, while considering the recurrent challenge posed by food dearth and high rise of hunger among susceptible people of numerous nations. Results A sum of 9206 research outputs were extracted in a BibTeX design for evaluation by means of bibliometric package in R studio software. The generated result included, but not restricted to authors, citations, affiliations, journals and key words. Published research findings on goat milk as related to nutrition security retrieved from web of science (WOS) and Scopus data bases were used with an increase in scientific findings of an annual growth of 14.42% during the period of study. From the result of the study, Spain was rated in first position with a total of publications ( n = 953), and a massive global scientific influence with the highest article citations ( n = 17,035). The most commonly referred authors’ keywords in this research field were goat/s ( n = 1605), milk ( n = 920), dairy goat/s ( n = 372), fatty acid/s ( n = 307), cheese ( n = 251), milk production ( n = 220), milk consumption ( n = 173), which all together gave a hint on associated research studies on goat milk and nutrition security. Conclusions The current study presented a global picture that covers the pool of scientific knowledge on goat milk research and its relevance in nutrition security, while giving a direction for more studies in this research area. It is of utmost importance to stress that the present findings only addressed prime areas of goat milk production as linked to nutrition security research, therefore, it is proposed that novel empirical study and potential research outcomes would give new understanding and insight on goat milk utilization as an avenue to tackle nutrition security issues as new findings emerges.

羊奶对提高营养安全的意义:1966 - 2020年研究的科学计量评价

摘要背景本研究旨在揭示山羊奶作为对抗粮食和营养不安全的工具的科学发现，同时考虑到许多国家易受影响人群中粮食短缺和饥饿高增长所带来的经常性挑战。结果采用BibTeX设计提取9206篇研究成果，通过R studio软件中的文献计量软件包进行评价。生成的结果包括但不限于作者、引文、隶属关系、期刊和关键词。利用web of science (WOS)和Scopus数据库中已发表的羊奶营养安全相关研究成果，研究期间科研成果年均增长14.42%。从研究结果来看，西班牙的出版物总数排名第一(n = 953)，文章引用量最高(n = 17,035)，具有巨大的全球科学影响力。在该研究领域中，作者引用最多的关键词是山羊/s (n = 1605)、牛奶(n = 920)、奶山羊/s (n = 372)、脂肪酸/s (n = 307)、奶酪(n = 251)、产奶量(n = 220)、牛奶消费量(n = 173)，这些都为羊奶与营养安全的相关研究提供了线索。结论本研究为羊奶研究及其与营养安全的相关性提供了一个全面的科学知识库，并为该研究领域的进一步研究指明了方向。值得强调的是，目前的研究结果只涉及与营养安全研究相关的羊奶生产的主要领域，因此，建议新的实证研究和潜在的研究成果将为羊奶利用提供新的理解和见解，并作为解决营养安全问题的途径。

期刊介绍： Agriculture & Food Security is a peer-reviewed open access journal that addresses the challenge of global food security. It publishes articles within the field of food security research, with a particular focus on research that may inform more sustainable agriculture and food systems that better address local, regional, national and/or global food and nutritional insecurity. The journal considers cutting-edge contributions across the breadth of relevant academic disciplines, including agricultural, ecological, environmental, nutritional, and socio-economic sciences, public health and policy. The scope of the journal includes, but is not limited to: -Agricultural and environmental sciences, including genetics and systems ecology- Animal husbandry, fisheries science and plant science- Global change, biodiversity, climatology and abiotic stresses- Food technology and balancing agricultural outputs across food, feed, fibre and fuel- Economics, information sciences and decision theory- Strategies for the implementation of new policies and practices- Public health in relation to the condition of food and nutritional security. The pioneering advances in research reported in Agriculture & Food Security have far reaching implications both for the developing world and for sustainability in the developed world. The published articles are accessible not only to researchers, but are also of special interest to the wider community of farmers, development and public health workers, policy makers and the general public.
