RETRACTED: Crayfish Research: A Global Scientometric Analysis Using CiteSpace

Abstract

A scientometric analysis was conducted to investigate the trends and development of crayfish research in terms of literature published, author, affiliation, and countries’ collaborative networks, as well as the co-citation dataset (e.g., author, article, and keywords). The study analyzed 12,039 bibliographic datasets from the Web of Science, using CiteSpace as a tool for the co-citation analysis. The study revealed extraordinary increases in publication trends, with a total of 21,329 authors involved in approximately 80% of countries around the world (163/195) having conducted crayfish research. Unsurprisingly, countries such as the USA and China, followed by European countries, were among the top countries that have published crayfish-related studies. The findings also indicated that “invasive crayfish” was the world’s top keyword for crayfish research. Crayfish species are important for both environmental sustainability (invasiveness and species composition) and social wellbeing (aquaculture), which provides directions for research, philanthropic, academic, government, and non-government organizations regarding how to invest limited resources into policies, programs, and research towards the future management of this species. Our study concluded that strategic collaboration among authors, institutions, and countries would be vital to tackle the issue of invasive crayfish species around the world.

A bibliometric analysis of acupuncture for cerebral infarction from 1993 to 2023

“…Through the examination of countries, institutions, authors, keywords, and references, we can discern the research hotspots, research frontiers, and research content within the given field. Software tools, such as Citespace ( 12 ), VOSviewer ( 13 ), and Histcite ( 14 ), facilitate bibliometric analysis. Previous bibliometrics studies on acupuncture in cerebral infarction treatment mainly include “Visual bibliometric analysis of electroacupuncture research in stroke treatment: a 20-year overview” by Chun et al ( 15 ) and “Global trends and development of acupuncture for stroke: A review and bibliometric analysis” by Cheng and Yu ( 16 ).…”

Cloning, Identification, and Functional Analysis of the Foxl2 Gene in Procambarus clarkii

“…It was introduced into Nanjing, Jiangsu, China, in 1929 [1], and has since gained popularity among consumers. It has been widely cultivated in various regions of China, and it has become the shrimp species with the fastest growing aquaculture area and production in China in recent years [2]. P. clarkii has the advantages of a short growth cycle, strong fecundation, high disease resistance, rich nutrition, and a delicious taste [3].…”
