Genetically Modified (GM) Organisms have been used in various domains since their introduction in the 1980s. According to ISAAA data, the use of GM crops in agriculture has also increased significantly in the past 30 years. However, even after 3 decades of commercialisation, GM crops are still surrounded with controversies with different countries adopting varying approaches to their introduction in the consumer markets, owing to different stances of various stakeholders. Motivated by this multitude of opinions, and absence of knowledge mapping, this study has undertaken scientometric analysis of the publication (Web of Science) and patent (Lens.org) data about genetically modified technology use in agriculture to explore the changing knowledge patterns and technological advancements in the area. It explores both scientific and technological perspectives regarding the use of Genetically Modified Crops, by using publication as well as patent data. The findings of this study highlight the major domains of research, technology development, and leading actors in the ecosystem. These findings can be helpful in taking effective policy decisions, and furthering the research activities. It presents a composite picture using both publications and patent data. Further, it will be of utility to explore the other technologies which are replacing GM technology in agriculture in future studies.
自 20 世纪 80 年代问世以来，转基因生物已被应用于各个领域。根据 ISAAA 的数据，农业中转基因作物的使用在过去 30 年也显著增加。然而，即使经过 30 年的商业化，转基因作物仍然存在争议，不同国家对其引入消费者市场的态度不同，这是由于各利益相关方的立场不同。受众多意见的影响，且缺乏知识图谱，本研究对农业中使用转基因技术的出版物（Web of Science）和专利（Lens.org）数据进行了科学计量分析，以探索该领域不断变化的知识模式和技术进步。它通过使用出版物和专利数据，从科学和技术的角度探讨了转基因作物的使用。本研究的结果突出了研究、技术开发和生态系统中主要参与者的主要领域。这些发现有助于做出有效的政策决策，并促进研究活动。它使用出版物和专利数据呈现了一个综合的图景。此外，在未来的研究中，它将有助于探索农业中正在取代转基因技术的其他技术。
