Summary
African swine fever (ASF) research has surged globally. This bibliometric analysis reveals key trends, hotspots like pathogen and epidemiology, and emerging frontiers in transmission and virulence, offering a valuable overview.
Area of Science:
- Veterinary Science
- Epidemiology
- Virology
Background:
- African swine fever (ASF) is a highly contagious viral disease impacting domestic pigs and wild boars globally.
- Recent years have seen a significant increase in research dedicated to understanding and combating ASF.
- This study provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of ASF research over the past two decades.
Approach:
- Utilized VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and an online bibliometric platform to analyze 1,885 academic papers on ASF.
- Examined publication trends, author collaborations, influential journals, and key research institutions.
- Identified high-frequency keywords, burst keywords, and highly cited references to map the knowledge structure.
Key Points:
- Exponential growth in ASF publications indicates a robust research development trend.
- China leads in publication volume, followed by the US and Spain; UK leads in citation impact.
- Research hotspots include ASF pathogens, epidemiology, molecular biology, and immunology, with frontiers in transmission and virulence.
Conclusions:
- This bibliometric analysis offers a novel perspective on the status and evolution of ASF research.
- Identifies key characteristics, research trends, and the theoretical basis of the field.
- Provides a valuable reference for future research directions in African swine fever.
