| Popis: | Orobanche crenata is a parasitic weed representing a serious constraint to crop production in the Mediterranean basin. Here, we aim to evaluate the global scientific research status and trends of O. crenata through a bibliometric analysis to identify prominent research themes, development trends and major contributors in terms of authors, institutions, countries and journals. In the span of 53 years, from 1968 to 2021, 274 articles related to this field were retrieved from Scopus database and were analyzed using VOSviewer and BiblioShiny software. Results showed that 70.4% of all papers on O. crenata have been published in the last two decades. “Control methods” was the most prevalent research theme with 55.9% of all articles. Weed Research is the most influential journal. The countries with the highest number of articles were Spain, Egypt and Italy. The Institute for Sustainable Agriculture is the most involved institution, contributing to 31.7% of all papers, and authors from Spain were the most productive. The latest research literature (5 years) was performed mainly by authors from Spain, Morocco and Tunisia, emphasizing the persistence of this constraint in these countries. Keyword analysis revealed that "vicia faba", "germination" and "legumes" are the most research hotspots. Despite the growing collaborative behavior in this area, cooperation between countries is still deficient and should be extended to countries that are recently affected by this scourge to exchange expertise already acquired by experienced researchers and thus allowing a better worldwide control of this parasitic weed. |
