Bibliometric Analysis for Genomic Selection Studies in Animal Science

Abstract

The animal breeding studies rapidly increased over the last century. When the genomic selection tool introduced, scientists and animal breeders have a new area to work with increasing computer power and genomic tolls. In this study, it was aimed to show the situation of last 25 years of the genomic selection studies. Results showed that the number of authors per article showed that the genomic selection is a collobtrative work that its tasks should be shared by gruoup of scientists. Only about 1/3 of the genomic seelction studies related to animal science. Its reason may be hardeness of working with animals ant generation interval which is more easy for plant breeding. When the article issues examined it can be seen that most of the articles were related to dairy science because this method widely use for dairy industry especially to determine candidate sire. The keyword “genomic selection” is widely used even this is a prediction method. It is the proof that the genomic selection is generally accepted idiom. Citation values of the most cited articles also showed that this method mostly affect the dairy science.
