The research status quo of rural households in China and abroad: A bibliometric analysis

doi:10.11686/cyxb2018025

Abstract

Abstract: This study utilized the literature on rural households in core journals accessed through CNKI and Web of Sciences from 1984 to 2017 using quantitative informetrics to identify any apparent trends and to identify the sphere of influence of existing research of different countries, institutions, journals and individuals. We found that the number of published papers globally is generally on the rise with the United States ranking first; China ranked 19th based on the number of the papers indexed by WOS, however, most of these studies are 15 years earlier than the United States and in recent years have been increasing at a faster rate. In terms of international collaboration, the United States has made the greatest contribution. The most cited domestic institutions are the Inner Mongolia Agricultural University, Grassland Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Inner Mongolia University and Lanzhou University. Internationally the most cited institutions are Wageningen University, Netherlands, Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil and CIRAD, France. In total, these overseas institutions contributed 45.5% of the paper published by top 10 institutions. The academic journals that stand out are Prataculture & Animal Husbandry, Journal of Xinjiang Animal Husbandry in China and Sociologia Ruralis and Journal of Rural Studies aboard. The general citation number is dominated by Journals such as Scientia Agricultura Sinica, Journal of Domestic Animal Ecology and Acta Prataculturae Sinica, although the total number of these three journals is not in the top-ten. With respect to academic level, studies of basic subjects account for a large proportion of reported research. Studies by Han Guodong from China and Acquavella aboard are most often cited helping their institutions became more influential. Based on current research, we propose that most research in the near future will focus on ecological issues for rural households including the dynamic balance between water-land-forage and livestock, and sustainable development.
