基于文献计量学可视化探讨2002-2023年甜瓜贮藏研究趋势OA

[Objective]To explore the research trends of melon storage from 2002 to 2023 based on bibliometrics,and provide ideas for melon storage research.[Method]Statistical analysis was conducted on articles related to melon storage in the Web of Science core collection database using bibliometric methods.Bibliometrix software was used to quantitatively and visually analyze the number of publications and related journals in the literature,exploring the research overview and future development trends of melon storage.[Result]From 2002 to 2023,there were a total of 1 815 articles and 38 review articles,with an annual publication growth rate of 5.27%.The United States ranks first in the world in terms of publications,with a total of 138 articles published,accounting for 19.46%of the total publications,followed by China with a total of 118 articles published.Bradford's Law determines core journals Journal of Food Protection,Hortscience,Postharvest Biology and Technol-ogy.The main research institutions are the US Department of Agriculture,Texas A&M University,etc.In recent years,the research paradigm in this field has shown a significant shift:the research focus has gradually extended from traditional pathogenic microorganisms such as Salmonella,activity,and water to cutting-edge fields such as volatile organic compound metabolism,carbon cycle regulation mechanisms,and genes at the molecular level.This evolution reflects the scientific community's in-depth exploration of the mechanisms of interaction in life processes.[Conclusion]This study indicates that research on melon storage is in a period of great development in the discipline,with hot topics mainly focused on quality,growth,and Listeria monocytogenes.
