A Visual Knowledge Map Analysis of Cross-Border Agri-Food Supply Chain Research Based on CiteSpace

Abstract

How to reshape the cross-border agricultural supply chain is a common concern in the global agricultural field. Using the bibliometrics method, 761 studies in the literature were selected from the core database of WOS (Web of Science) to explore research hotspots and development trends in this field, clarify the historical context, and explore future trends. Using the knowledge map visualization software CiteSpace, an in-depth review and visualization analysis of hot topics in this field were conducted. The results showed that since 2017, research in this field has shown a strong development trend. The United States and the University of Wageningen are the field’s most influential country and research institution, respectively. Sustainability is the journal with the highest number of publications in the field. Research hotspots included cross-border agricultural product safety, cross-border agricultural supply chain systematization, and technology integration, and gradually evolved towards the high-quality development of digital intelligence with informatization, digitization, and big data as the main focus. The sustainability of cross-border agricultural supply chains and the resilience of the global food supply system have become the main lines of research in this field.

A Bibliometric Analysis of English for Specific Purposes from 2011 to 2023 Using Citespace: Visualizing Status, Themes, Evolution, and Emerging Trends

“…As suggested by Jia and Harji (2022), and Wang et al (2023), some inclusion and exclusion criteria were adopted in data collection and screening. The literature database was obtained from the WOSCC.…”

“…Following the modified PRISMA diagram (Wang et al, 2023) and Chen's methodology (2017) in data retrieving for Citespace, the search query input the topic term "English for Specific Purpose*" in the WOSCC database. This query yielded 750 records as SET #1.…”

“…In the first round of screening, only 1981 publications in the field of linguistics or education were included. All other publications beyond these two fields were excluded, because they were different to the subject of this review (Wang et al, 2023). All the 1981 records were downloaded and saved in "Abstract and full record (including cited references)", and input into Citespace for data analysis.…”

Exploring Sustainable Development Pathways for Agri-Food Supply Chains Empowered by Cross-Border E-Commerce Platforms: A Hybrid Grounded Theory and DEMATEL-ISM-MICMAC Approach

“…The existing research primarily focuses on cross-border agricultural product supply chains [2,[13][14][15] and the driving factors of sustainable agricultural product supply chains [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]. However, there is a scarcity of studies, which organically integrate these fields.…”

“…In today's world, the combined forces of economic globalization and the digitalization wave are propelling the robust development of cross-border e-commerce for agricultural products. This trend not only opens up international market opportunities for agricultural products [1] but also provides essential support for achieving agricultural modernization and the global 2030 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals [2]. However, despite the immense potential in this field, it faces several significant challenges.…”
