“…Scientometric Analysis, introduced by Naukometriya, widely known as Vasily Nalimov, in 1969, is considered an integral measure of research evaluation to assess the magnitude of scholarly literature and its outcomes (Rousseau, 2021). The scienti c study of a subject is a self-regulatory system, and the ow of information in the publications and documents can be potentially and empirically analyzed through scientometric analysis, which is considered crucial for determining the state-of-the-art of a given topic (Lolis et al, 2009). The term 'scientometrics' is often confused with 'bibliometrics' as both are inherent to the purpose of determining the extent of quantitative development of a given subject (Hood & Wilson, 2001).…”

The study investigated the scienti c output, collaboration, and impression of research on organic farming due to the increasing interest of commoners in food quality and sustainability. Efforts to enhance agroecological sustainability call for assessing the structural overview of the numerous research work done so far to understand the growth in diverse subject areas in organic farming. The scientometric method is considered for analyzing 511 documents extracted in CSV format from the Scopus online database from 2010 till July 2, 2022. The pulled-out data is analyzed via VOSviewer, revealing prominent contributing authors, cited references, the signi cant collaboration between the countries, total link strength, and co-occurrence of author keywords using analysis of co-authorship, co-occurrence, citation, and bibliographic coupling in several domains. Out of 511 documents published in the English language retrieved from the Scopus database, 75.29% are articles, 11.17% are review papers, and 13.52% are conference papers. In 2021, the maximum number of documents produced (n = 97) related to organic farming. India has contributed the maximum number of documents (n = 65) with the collaboration of 29 other countries and bagged 730 citations. The following study is the rst to conduct a scientometric analysis in the eld of food security and sustainability dimensions of organic farming, which facilitate a better understanding of the recent growth trend of research associated with organic farming on the one hand and can further improve the policies based on brainstorming to action formulation not only in academics but also in research and development on the other. Background StudyIn recent times, organic farming has been a trending farm-focused topic. It is currently a hotbed of agricultural and environmental science research due to the growing environmental awareness, food quality, and safety issues among consumers. The concept "organic" as applied to the agrarian sector was primarily introduced in the U.S. by Rodale in 1940 in his manifesto popularly known as "The Rodale Institute and their Organic Farming and Gardening," which means the use of ecologically based manures and compost and not synthetically compounded fertilizers, pesticides, genetic modi cations and growth regulators. However, coincidently at the same time, a similar concept was described by Lord Northbourne in England as a "dynamic living organic whole" (Durham, 2006). The concept of "organic farming" grasped the interest of researchers in the 1940s due to its bene ciaries to humankind by its application in improving organic content in the soil by rejecting the use of harmful fertilizers and pesticides, which further enhanced soil fertility and growth of reliance of livestock production from organic functioning of the rm. However, recent data shows that approximately 187 countries are practicing organic farming worldwide, with more than 72.3 million hectares managed under at least 3.1 million farmers (Willer & Trávní, 2021).Organic farming relates to a f...

“…Scientometrics is an effective method to assess the extent of scientific contribution at various regional and international levels, as well as the quality of such scientific productions [11]. In fact, one of the standard tools for measuring and evaluating scientific productions in different scientific fields is using the Scientometrics.…”

Background Scientific cooperation is one of the effective methods to access current knowledge and technologies and also to use successful experiences of researchers in developed countries by academicians living in developing countries. This study aimed to determine the level of international contribution in compilation of scientific articles in Iranian journals published in the field of environmental health engineering. Methods This descriptive and retrospective study was conducted within a 10-year period (2008–2017), in which all articles published in five specialized Iranian journals of environmental health engineering were reviewed using a researcher-made checklist. The information collected in the checklist included: the year of publication, number of issues and articles, information about the status of authors’ participation in terms of number of authors, sex, institutional affiliation, country, continents, and research centers. Descriptive and inferential statistics such as index of dispersion, measures of central tendency, and Chi-square and t tests were used to statistically analyze the data. Besides, VOSviewer software was used to visualize the data. Results The review of 1276 articles published in 102 issues of the five journals of environmental health engineering in Iran showed that 184 articles were written with the participation of researchers from other countries. Most articles with the participation of international authors during the last decade were published in 2014. Chi-square test indicated a significant difference in the publication of these articles within 2014–2015 than other years ( P = 0.001). Among the five journals, the best participation of international researchers was observed in J Environ Health Sci Engineer (168 articles, 91.3%). Considering the number of joint articles with Iran, the top continents were Asia, Europe, and Africa each with 117, 52, and 32 articles, respectively. India, Turkey, and Malaysia had the highest level of cooperation with Iranian researchers with 53, 16, and 14 articles, respectively. 637 authors contributed in 184 articles, of whom 469 (73.6%) were male and 121 (18.9%) were female. T test was used to compare the mean number of male and female authors in the articles with or without the participation of international researchers, which showed no significant difference. Conclusion International contribution of researchers in compilation of specialized environmental health articles was good. Given the low level of cooperation between researchers from developed European and American countries and their Iranian counterparts, it seems necessary to adopt different methods to attract more collaboration from researchers working in developed countries considering their significant role in health-related areas.
