基于VOSviewer和CiteSpace的昆虫肠道微生物领域可视化分析

Visual analysis of research on insect gut microbiota based on VOSviewer and CiteSpace

摘要:

【背景】近年来，昆虫肠道微生物领域受到科研工作者的广泛关注，相应发表了大量的科研论文和著作。然而目前尚缺乏对昆虫肠道微生物全面、系统的文献计量分析。【目的】了解国内外昆虫肠道微生物领域的历史、研究热点和新兴趋势。【方法】以昆虫肠道微生物为搜索主题对中国知网(China National Knowledge Infrastructure, CNKI)数据库和Web of Science (WOS)数据库进行检索，利用文献计量工具VOSviewer和CiteSpace对关键词进行分析。【结果】1991-2022年间该领域全球研究发文量整体呈现上升趋势，国内外对昆虫肠道微生物领域的关注点和研究方向逐渐扩大。关键词聚类锚定了3个新兴研究领域：昆虫饮食(insect meal)、次生代谢物(secondary metabolites)和生物降解(biodegradation)。【结论】基于文献计量学研究的发现提供了昆虫肠道微生物领域的现状和趋势，可能有助于确定该领域的热点话题和探索新的方向。

Abstract:

[Background] In recent years, the gut microbiology of insects has received extensive attention from researchers, and a large number of research papers and works have been published. However, the systematic bibliometric analysis of insect gut microbiota remains to be carried out. [Objective] To understand the history, hotspots, and trends of the research on insect gut microbiota at home and abroad. [Methods] We searched the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Web of Science (WOS) with insect gut microbiota as the topic, and analyzed the keywords using the bibliometric tools VOSviewer and CiteSpace. [Results] The global research publications in this field showed an increasing trend during 1991–2022, and the research focuses and directions gradually expanded. The keyword clustering anchored three emerging research areas: insect meal, secondary metabolites, and biodegradation. [Conclusion] Bibliometric studies provide a rapid and intuitive understanding of the foundations, frontiers, and trends of the research on insect gut microbiota.
