- Abstract
Based on the related literatures from Web of Science database retrieval about seed industry security between 1982 to 2013, this paper carried out bibliometric analysis on research trend, country, research direction, organization, author, journals and the highly cited papers. The results showed that there were about 64 countries or regions, 544 research institutes were engaged in this research, and 83 related research areas, 967 authors, 945 journals, and 1 837 papers was published. The highest frequency for one cited paper was 497. The United State lead the world in seed industry security study. There was still a bigger gap between China and US in this area. Although the number of researchers engaged in this area is large, there were few authors who were active and high productive. Most of the authors working at colleges and universities, mainly engaged in theoretical study. Here we would suggest keeping track and increasing investment for scientific research in this area. This study aimsed at analyzing objectively the seed security situation at home and abroad, grasping timely its development frontier and new trends, providing reference for researchers and decision makers, and promoting studies on seed industry security and development.
