Bibliometrics analysis on identification of molecula pharmacognosyin based on Web of Science

Objective To analyze the literature characteristics on molecular identification of pharmacognosy, summarize the current research situation and trend in the field and to provide a reference for relative researchers. Methods The papers relevant to molecular identification included in SCIE were statistically analyzed by biblimetric methods from the aspects of publishing year,journals disbution, author’s unit,author’s country or region and technique.And the papers also use the visualization techonology to visual the links between the keywords. Results The total number of the literature for analyzing was 5 108, the numbers of papers increased gradually.These paper involved 3 720 authors, 1 695 organizations. and 421 journals. Authors of the papers mainly from China, the United States and Korea. The traditional Chinese medicine involved were Catharanthusroseus, Panax ginseng, Tobacco,wheat, Artemisia annua. The relative identification technology top 5 were RAPD, microsatellite, AFLP, ISSR, HPLC.Based on visiualization technology, we found the current research hotspots were base source identification, habitats identification, population genetics and molecular phylogeography. Conclusions The research of molecular identification of pharmacognosyin were on the rise. The identification technology and species studied will extend ulteriorly.
