Watermelon is an important horticultural plant. A bibliometric analysis of the watermelon literature was carried out in order to analyze the research state, hotspots, and trends, as well as to highlight the overall watermelon research development from a holistic viewpoint. The summary of watermelon research is given via metrological analysis based on a set of indices using a newly built Bibliometrix R-package tool. This study gathered 6,632 documents indexed in the Core Collection of Web of Science (WoS) in the domain of watermelon from 1992 to 2022 using bibliometrix. The results indicated that the number of published articles showed an apparently upward trend. The United States was in the first place, with Plant Disease being the most productive journal. Levi A from the United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service is the most prolific author, and Levi A is the most cited; The most frequently used keywords by authors are "growth", "resistance", "identification", "yield", "quality" "plants", "watermelon stomach" and "expression"; The most talked-about issues in this subject are resistance, yield, and quality, which highlight the crucial research areas. To effectively comprehend the turning moments for future research, it is useful to monitor the hotspots and frontiers of watermelon studies. The results highlight the future paths for study in the field of watermelon and provide useful information for researchers interested in the topic.
西瓜是一种重要的园艺植物。为了分析西瓜文献的研究现状、热点和趋势,并从整体角度突出西瓜研究的整体发展,开展了对西瓜文献的文献计量分析。通过使用新构建的Bibliometrix R包工具,基于一组指标进行计量分析,给出了西瓜研究的综述。本研究使用Bibliometrix收集了1992年至2022年期间在Web of Science(WoS)核心合集中索引的6632篇西瓜领域文献。结果表明,发表文章的数量呈明显上升趋势。美国位居第一,《植物病害》是发文量最多的期刊。美国农业部农业研究局的列维·A是发文量最多的作者,且被引次数最多;作者最常用的关键词是“生长”“抗性”“鉴定”“产量”“品质”“植株”“西瓜枯萎病”和“表达”;该主题中讨论最多的问题是抗性、产量和品质,这些突出了关键研究领域。为了有效理解未来研究的转折点,监测西瓜研究的热点和前沿是有用的。研究结果突出了西瓜领域未来的研究方向,并为对该主题感兴趣的研究人员提供了有用信息。
