Análise bibliométrica, capacidade combinatória e diversidade genética para seleção de genótipos em soja

Abstract

Over the years, soybean has seen a significant productivity increase as a result of genetic breeding. To better understand the publishing trend in the research field of genetic breeding in the last 20 years, this study conducted a bibliometric analysis using the Web of Science and Scopus databases. The results show that, in the last 20 years, the number of publications in this field have increased. The top three countries with the highest number of publications were Brazil, United States and China. The journal Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira (Brazilian Agricultural Research) stood out as the main publisher in the field of genetic breeding of soybean. Moreover, two out of the five most relevant institutions measured by the number of publications are located in Brazil: Universidade Federal de Viçosa and Universidade Federal de Uberlândia. Additionally, four out of the ten authors with the most publications in this field are linked to these institutions. On another hand, a keyword analysis indicated that “genetic diversity” appears as one of the top ten results. Therefore, this research, through bibliometric analysis and its tools, was able to measure the timeline of research development and establish a profile of scientific production in the field of genetic breeding.
