This study focuses on detecting trends and topics in social science research on organic agriculture. We applied scientometric methods, such as keyword co-occurrence analysis and burst detection to keywords assigned to scientific literature related to the social sciences from 2002 to 2021. As a result, various research topics on organic agriculture from production to consumption aspects were detected. Furthermore, recent trends in social science research were detected quantitatively. These trends included meta-analysis through case study accumulation and research topics related to organic agriculture and sustainability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
