Bibliometric analysis of studies on gene expression and RNA-seq in cattle species

Öz

The aim of this study is to examine the development of research articles on "gene expression and RNA-seq" in cattle species in the Web of Science (WOS) database between 2010 and 2023 using bibliometric mapping methods. Initially, 500 articles were screened using relevant keywords, and 353 articles suitable for analysis were analyzed using the Bibliometrix R package's shiny web application and some analyses were conducted using the VOSviewer application. The conducted analyses included subheadings such as main data information, annual scientific production, countries, and institution analysis, bibliographic coupling with sources, Bradford analysis, Lotka’s law analyasis, highly cited articles, and most influential authors. According to the results obtained after the analysis, it was determined that the institution conducting the most studies in the relevant field is "Universidade De Sao Paulo", the country with the most publications is the USA, and the most published journal is "BMC Genomics". Keyword analysis revealed that the trending topics in recent years are mastitis, dairy cattle farming, and heat stress. The studies were categorized into different clusters related to the reproductive system, immune system and diseases, meat and dairy cattle production. It is recommended that researchers planning to work in this research area on cattle species should design their research, determine the journal to be published, or establish institutional connections by examining the reported study and planning accordingly.

Sığır türünde gen ifadesi ve RNA-dizileme alanında yapılan çalışmaların bibliyometrik analizi

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı; Web of Science (WOS) veri tabanında 2010-2023 yılları arasında sığır türünde “gen ifadesi ve RNA-dizileme” konusunun incelendiği araştırma makalelerinin bilimsel haritalama yöntemiyle gelişiminin incelenmesidir. Bu hususta ilgili anahtar kelimeler kullanılarak ilk taramada 500 adet makale incelenmiş ve analize uygun 353 makale Bibliometrix R paketinin Shiny web uygulaması ve bazı analizler VOSviewer uygulaması ile analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan analizler; ana veri bilgileri, yıllık bilimsel üretim, ülkeler ve kurum analizleri, kaynaklarla bibliyografik eşleştirme, Bradford analizi, Lotka kanunu analizi, en çok alıntı yapılan makaleler ve en etkili yazarlar gibi alt başlıkları içermektedir. Analiz sonrası elde edilen sonuçlara göre ilgili alanda en çok çalışma yapan ilişkili kurumun “Universidade De Sao Paulo” olduğu, en çok yayın yapan ülkenin ABD olduğu, en çok yayın yapılan derginin “BMC Genomics” olduğu belirlenmiştir. Anahtar kelime analizine göre son yıllarda öne çıkan konuların mastitis, süt sığırcılığı ve ısı stresi konuları olduğu belirlenmiştir. Çalışmaların reproduktif sistem, immun sistem ve hastalıklar, et ve süt sığır üretimi ile ilişkili olmak üzere farklı kümelere ayrıldığı belirlenmiştir. Sığır türünde bu araştırma alanında çalışma planlayacak araştırmacıların araştırmalarını tasarlama, yayınlanacağı dergiyi belirleme ya da kurumsal bağlantıların kurulmasında bildirilen çalışmayı inceleyerek planlama yapmaları önerilmektedir.
