Summary: | <p>This study aims to identify trends and hot topics in breeding value to support researchers in finding new directions for future research in that
area. The data of this study consist of 7072 academic studies on breeding value in the Web of Science database. Network visualizations and in-depth
bibliometric analysis were performed on cited references, authors, countries, institutions, journals, and keywords through CiteSpace. VanRaden (2008) is the most cited work and has an essential place in the field. The most prolific writer is Ignacy Misztal. While the most productive
country in breeding value studies is the United States, the People's Republic of China is an influential country that has experienced a strong
citation burst in the last 3 years. The National Institute for Agricultural Research and Wageningen University are important institutions that play
a critical role in connecting other institutions. Also, these two institutions have the highest centrality values. “Genomic prediction” is the
outstanding sub-study field in the active clusters appearing in the analysis results. We have summarized the literature on breeding value, including
publication information, country, institution, author, and journal. We can say that hot topics today are “genome-wide association”, “feed
efficiency”, and “genomic prediction”. While the studies conducted in the past years have focused on economic value and accuracy, the studies
conducted in recent years have started to be studies that consider technological developments and changing world conditions such as global warming
and carbon emission.</p> |
