Bibliometric Profile of an Agbioscience Research Enhancement Grant Program

Abstract

Abstract This study is a bibliometric analysis of journal articles generated from an intramural grant program in the agbiosciences. Using citation analysis and bibliometric mapping, the study analyzes 515 journal articles published from 1999 to 2017. Results show the growth of journal article output, identify the major research fields and topics, describe national and international authorial and institutional collaborations, and quantify the performance and impact of the article output. The grant program’s journal article output presents a multi-disciplinary range of scholarly publications that reflect the disciplines of The Ohio State University’s College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences, which houses the grant program.
