Abstract
Bibliographic mapping can help us understand publication networks and how a specific area of knowledge is developing. Here, we analysed citation, co-occurrence of keywords, co-citation and bibliographic coupling networks for composite cattle worldwide. Data was collected from Scopus® and analysed in Vosviewer®. The highest cited authors are from Brazil and Australia, but the USA has the highest number of publications and citations. Recent advances have seen the appearance of Chinese research groups. Keyword analysis shows a shift from quantitative to molecular genetics. Multi-focal journals such as Journal of Dairy Science, Journal of Animal Science and Livestock Science have the highest numbers of publications and citations in this field. This analysis can help us identify major changes in future research pathways and identify new groups that working on it. It is useful in network building and identifying up-to-date topics in the research field.
期刊介绍:
Livestock Science promotes the sound development of the livestock sector by publishing original, peer-reviewed research and review articles covering all aspects of this broad field. The journal welcomes submissions on the avant-garde areas of animal genetics, breeding, growth, reproduction, nutrition, physiology, and behaviour in addition to genetic resources, welfare, ethics, health, management and production systems. The high-quality content of this journal reflects the truly international nature of this broad area of research.
