Abstract

ABSTRACT: Studies on seed science are developed for a wide range of purposes, being the statistical analysis of data essential for experimental reliability and evidence. Due to the characteristics of seed data, several statistical methods can be applied, among them the survival analysis stands out, in virtue of allocating censored data and describing phenomena over time. Therefore, this bibliometric study verified the use of survival analysis in studies with seed germination and to examine the applications of survival analysis in original articles from the Web of Science database for the period from 2000 to 2020. For the application of survival analysis, there was a low number of publications related to seed science, with the USA being the country with the highest number of publications mainly to studies in plant ecology and physiology. In general, the researches were most involved to the evaluation of factors influencing dormancy, physiological stresses, dispersion capacity, population differences and habitats of development which affected seed germination. Therefore, the qualitative overview demonstrates that the survival analysis is a statistical tool of great potential regarding the studies in the area.

关于在种子发芽研究中使用存活分析的文献计量学修订

摘要:种子科学的研究有着广泛的目的，是对实验可靠性和证据至关重要的数据进行统计分析。由于种子数据的特点，可以采用几种统计方法，其中生存分析方法脱颖而出，它可以分配经过审查的数据并描述随时间变化的现象。因此，本文献计量学研究验证了生存分析在种子萌发研究中的应用，并检查了生存分析在Web of Science数据库2000年至2020年期间原创文章中的应用。在生存分析的应用方面，与种子科学相关的出版物数量较少，以美国为最多的国家，主要是植物生态学和生理学的研究。总的来说，研究最多的是对影响种子萌发的休眠、生理胁迫、扩散能力、种群差异和发育生境等因素的评价。因此，定性概述表明，生存分析是一个统计工具的巨大潜力，关于该领域的研究。
