Abstract: The aim of this paper was to identify and analyse the most highly cited research articles, and authorships levels in the discipline of biotechnology during the year of 2001-2020 by using the Web of Science database. The analysis of most cited papers in the chosen areas of research domain will enable the researcher to identify a wide set of inferences about the research area - its productivity over Annual production, page length, Most prolific authors, Most cited Countries, Most relevant affiliations of the articles etc.The results shows that a total of 3000 research articles were published during 2001- 2020 in the field of biotechnology. The most highly cited research articles were 1434, followed by 1337 review papers. 12983 papers used the term ‘biotechnology’ as keywords. The average publication of highly cited paper were 150 papers per year. Furthermore, out of 12347 research articles, 340 research articles were published in single authorship, while 12007 were published in collaborative authorship. Apparently, the highest numbers (n= 230, 7.6%) of papers were published in 2007. In terms of research output, the most productive research institutes in the field of biotechnology were ‘University of Calif Berkely’, while the most productive countries were USA and Germany. Pruitt KD and Ostell J. were the most prominent and influential authors in the field of biotechnology. |
