EMMER – A BYGONE AND NEWLY FOUND CEREAL: A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS (1905-2025) |
| Abstract : |
Emmer has recently garnered significant attention. This bibliometric study analyses a dataset from Scopus covering the period from 1905 through August 18, 2025 and including a total of 2,383 emmer-related documents. Emmer research has experienced a marked increase in both publication output and citation impact over time. Specifically, the cumulative annual percentage growth rate for the number of publications reached 893% (1982–2021), while the average annual citation count grew by 67% between 1970 and 2019. Theoretical and Applied Genetics, Euphytica and Vegetation History and Archaeobotany were found to be the top journals in terms of both number of publications and H-index. China, USA, Israel, Italy, Turkey, Germany, United Kingdom, India and Japan were identified as the most prolific countries, with Israel being the most cited one. The University of Haifa and Sichuan Agricultural University turned out to be the most productive organizations. Nevo E. and Fahima T. were both the greatest contributors and the most cited authors. The collaboration clusters were constructed for countries, institutions and authors. The theme trends and hotspots in emmer research were analysed: thus, genetics, metabolism and phylogeny were detected as Motor Themes, while archaeobotany and related cereal species were Emerging or Declining Themes. Through such structured approach, researchers can better define their problems, identify future challenges and establish collaboration links. |
