Agrifood research in Europe: a global perspective

“…Bibliometric studies on agrifood R&D is found in the literature mainly at national or regional level (Alfaraz and Calvino 2004;Balog 1985;Bravo-Vinaja and Sanz-Casado 2008;Calvino 2006;Dearenas et al 1994;Farahat 2002;Garg et al 2006;Leiser et al 2009;Nasir et al 1994;Pouris 1989;Roseboom and Pardey 1992;Seetharam and Rao 1999;Souza et al 1993; Thorpe and Pardey 1990;Velho and Krige 1984), only few articles attempt a more comprehensive survey (Hinze and Grupp 1996;Maclean and Janagap 1993;Van Raan and Van Leeuwen 2002).…”
