Abstract

Background Bibliometric analysis plays an essential role in scientific research. However, some research areas still have several gaps. This is also the case in the animal sciences. Therefore, the status of current studies can be analyzed to provide guidance for future research through scientific studies that will be conducted. The aim of this study was to perform a bibliometric analysis of goat breeding to evaluate current trends, gaps in knowledge, and future perspectives. Methods A large dataset was extracted from the Web of Science (WoS), a popular database for scientific studies. According to the WoS, we used 1000 scientific papers (1991–2023) that contained articles, book chapters, data papers, proceedings papers, meeting abstracts, and notes. All bibliometric analyses were performed using the bibliometrix package. Results and Conclusions In 2023, there were 34 studies available. Average citations per year showed that the highest average citation count occurred in 2006 (31.35). In total, 265 scientific journals in the WoS database have published goat breeding studies. Small Ruminant Research led to the remaining 145 articles. In conclusion, scientific studies on goat breeding have become popular in recent years. The authors may gravitate towards popular journals in the future.

山羊育种文献的文献计量分析

背景文献计量分析在科学研究中发挥着至关重要的作用。然而，某些研究领域仍存在一些空白。动物科学也是如此。因此，可以对当前的研究状况进行分析，通过即将开展的科学研究为未来的研究提供指导。本研究旨在对山羊育种进行文献计量分析，以评估当前趋势、知识差距和未来前景。方法我们从著名的科学研究数据库 Web of Science（WoS）中提取了一个大型数据集。根据 WoS，我们使用了 1000 篇科学论文（1991-2023 年），其中包括文章、书籍章节、数据论文、论文集论文、会议摘要和注释。所有文献计量分析均使用 bibliometrix 软件包进行。结果与结论 2023 年，共有 34 项研究。年平均被引次数显示，2006 年的平均被引次数最高（31.35）。WoS 数据库中共有 265 种科学期刊发表过山羊育种研究。小反刍动物研究》发表了其余 145 篇文章。总之，有关山羊育种的科学研究近年来很受欢迎。作者今后可能会倾向于热门期刊。
