Bibliometric analysis is a popular and rigorous method for discovering and analyzing enormous
volumes of scientific data. Therefore, the objective of this study is to present overview and
guidelines in studies related to firefly research worldwide from 2000 to 2021 using bibliometric
analysis to provide researchers and scholars around the world an overview of results and trends in
firefly research. A textual query on three databases; Scopus (289 papers), Web of Science (303
papers), and PubMed (541 papers) using the term “Fireflies Coleoptera Lampyridae” was
performed on 30 August 2021 retrieving 1133 scholarly papers from 2000 to 2021 related to firefly
studies for in-depth analysis. Bibliometric analysis were performed using Rstudio software version
4.1.1 and biblioshiniy for bibliometrix to visualize and analyze trends of firefly research. This
bibliometric analysis was analyzed the annual scientific publication growth, the most productive
authors, most frequent word has been using, most famous journal name, and which countries has
highest collaboration with other country in firefly research. According to the findings of the
analysis, there is significant inconsistency in global trends in annual scientific production, with the
number of publications increasing and decreasing. In firefly research, according to the findings
has show the most relevant authors is Fu X (Scopus), Fu XH (WoS), and Hosseinkhani S
(PubMed). Moreover, the most relevant journals articles in fireflies studies is Zootaxa (Scopus &
WoS), and Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences : Official Journal Of The European
Photochemistry Association And The European Society For Photobiology (PubMed). Futhermore,
the most frequently utilized keywords in fireflies study is lampyridae, firefly, bioluminescence,
animals and fireflies. China and USA is the most highest collaboration among others countries in
fireflies research. This research can help researchers or academics who are new to firefly research
by providing information on which publications and authors to refer when performing firefly
research. |
