Bibliometric analysis of straw degradation by microorganisms

Abstract:

Straw degradation by microorganisms has become a research hotspot in the world with the rapidly development in renewable biomass energy. This paper aimed to analyze the trend of straw degradation by microorganisms, and provide information for the researchers in the field of straw degradation and promote the development of new biomass energy in China. This paper analyzed the number of papers, top countries, journals, institutes and authors in the field of straw degradation by microorganisms using the Web of Science database and the HisCite and VOSviewer software. The worldwide researches on straw degradation by microorganisms mainly focused on applied microorganisms, agriculture and biotechnology. The researches on straw degradation by microorganisms had been increasing year by year since the new century, among which the United States, China, Germany and Japan were in international leading level. The United States ranked first in terms of volume and influence. Although China ranked second in terms of volume and has a certain foundation, but its influence is still low. So it is necessary to strengthen the high-level research to promote the overall improvement of straw degradation by microorganisms in China.
