Abstract
This paper examines on scientometric study of the research performance on biodiversity with the data that have been collected from Web of Science database. The study period was chosen from 2011 to 2020 and retrieved 11902 records for the study. This study was planned to find out year-wise publications on biodiversity research from 2011 to 2020, to examine authorship patterns, to find out the top twenty authors contributions, to find out top twenty institutions that contributed to biodiversity research, to find top twenty sources contributions and to identify top twenty countries contributed on biodiversity research. It was found that the year-wise biodiversity research publications show an increase trend. Among the 17 different document types, in the form of research articles have 9102 papers. Out of the 40843 authors, Schmidt B has occupied the first position with 56 contributed papers. 97.46% papers were contributed by collaborative authors, and very least number of papers published by single authors’. Totally 178 countries were contributed on biodiversity research publications, amongst India is the fifteenth place with 407 publications.
Highlights
Biological diversity means the variability among living organisms from all sources including inter alia, terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are a part which includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems [1]
The scope of the present study is to find out year wise publications on biodiversity research during 2011-2020, to identify document types wise research publications on biodiversity, to find out top twenty authors contributed on biodiversity research publication, to examine authorship pattern on biodiversity research, to find out top twenty institutions contributed on biodiversity research, to find top twenty sources contributions on biodiversity research publications and to identify top twenty countries contributed on biodiversity research publications
8595 institutions were contributed to biodiversity research
Summary
Biological diversity means the variability among living organisms from all sources including inter alia, terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are a part which includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems [1]. It refers to diversity within the biosphere, including genetic, species, and habitat diversity. Outbreaks of SARS, Ebola, Marburg, Hantavirus, pulmonary, Syndrome, Avian influenza, and malaria have been attributed to human impacts on biodiversity [10] These scientometric studies help to identify publications on biodiversity research
