Research Trends of Agricultural Faculties in Turkey and the World: Bibliometric Analysis of Web of Science, 1996-2011
Abstract
In this research, agricultural information structure and emerging trends are visualised with social network analysis from 1996 to 2011; similarities and differences between the researches of agricultural research institutions universities abroad and in Turkey are detected. Moreover, whether agriculturalresearch policies determined by these institutions, councils and scholars had effects on the researches carried out in agricultural researches were determined. Comparing the agricultural policies in Turkey through the subjects of the publications in Web of Science WoS , some priorities in agricultural research policies have increased in time. Especially, the water resources 2-3% increase out of natural resources, biotechnology 4% increase and environmental sciences 4% increase more often take place in agricultural policies and alike, number of publications on these subjects has gradually increased. While there is a significant percentage of publication on biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics and heredity, microbiology and cell biology in agricultural faculties in other countries, the percentage of the publications in these fields is much lower in Turkey. According to the subject category, while the researches on agriculture, plant and food science in Turkey gradually decreased, the ones on chemistry, environmental sciences, biochemistry, biotechnology and molecular biology increased. This shows that more special and different subjects on agricultural researches started to be carried out
