Abstract:
In order to understand the research trend of dairy cow mastitis, the author used Web of Science core collection and China Journal Full-text Database(CNKI) as data sources to analyze the publication volume, publishing country, publishing institution, author, journal, popular discipline and key words of foreign language literatures on dairy cow mastitis research from 1992 to 2021, respectively. Quantitative analysis was performed on the publication quantity, publishing institution, author, journal, keywords and fund projects of Chinese literature. The results showed that the research on dairy cow mastitis had been documented in foreign languages since 1999, and the number of publications was on the rise. The United States had been in the leading level of literature publication, and China, Germany, Brazil and Canada had also published relatively numerous literature. Among the top 20 global institutions in the number of foreign language publications, most of them were from European and American countries, with Cornell University, the University of Guelfe and the French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment ranked 1 st, 2 nd and 3 rd in the world, respectively. Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences ranked 14 th in the world. The Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, China Agricultural University and Northwest A&F University ranked the top three domestic institutions in terms of the number of foreign language publications. Most of the top 10 authors of foreign language literature were from universities in Europe and the United States, and H.W. Barkema, Y.H. Schukken and S. De Veliegher had the highest international influence in this field. Most of the top 10 Chinese authors were from China Agricultural University and Shandong Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Han B., Zhang Y. and Gao J. were the top three Chinese authors. Journal of Dairy Science consistently tops the list of international journals that publish research on mastitis in dairy cows. The international journals ranked 2, 3, 4 were Veterinary Microbiology, Preventive Veterinary Medicine and Journal of Dairy Research. The top 10 international journals were all from the United States, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and France, with the Netherlands having the largest number of journals and the United States having the highest total citation frequency. Veterinary science, agriculture and food science technology were the main hot disciplines in the field of dairy mastitis research. Keywords in foreign language literature on dairy cow mastitis included “dairy cow” “antimicrobial resistance” “Staptylococcus aureus” “clinical mastitis” “coagulase negative Staphylococci” and other 15 clusters.The overall number of Chinese literature publications showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing from 1992—2021.The top institution in Chinese literature publication was Inner Mongolia Agricultural University, followed by Northwest A & F University, Lanzhou Veterinary Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Yangzhou University and China Agricultural University. The top five authors were Li Hongsheng, Li Xinpu, Luo Jinyin, Wang Xurong and Yang Feng, all from Lanzhou Veterinary Research Institute of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences.Among the Chinese journals that published dairy cow mastitis research, China Dairy Cow had always ranked first, and the second to fourth Chinese journals were Heilongjiang Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine, Modern Animal Husbandry Science and Technology,Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Science and Technology Information. In the Chinese literature, the terms “cow mastitis” “mastitis” “cow occult mastitis” “occult mastitis” and “Staphylococcus aureus” appeared more frequently. The National Natural Science Foundation of China and the National Science and Technology Support Program played a major supporting role in dairy cow mastitis research in China. The Natural Science Foundation of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and the Natural Science Foundation of Jiangsu Province, as provincial projects, had also provide a large amount of funding for dairy cow mastitis research. It indicated that although the research on dairy cow mastitis in China followed the pace of the world, it was urgent to improve the international influence of Chinese journals.
