21. Yüzyılda Blueberry (Vaccinium Spp.) Araştırmalarında Bilimsel Yaklaşımlar: Bibliyometrik Bir Değerlendirme
Synopsis
Blueberry has gained a strategic position in agricultural production, food science, and health sectors due to its nutritional value and economic significance. In this study, the scientific development, research trends, and prominent themes of studies on blueberry conducted between 2000 and 2025 were systematically analyzed using bibliometric analysis. A total of 2,869 publications retrieved from the Web of Science (SCI-EXPANDED and SSCI) databases were evaluated. The results show that scientific interest in blueberry research gained momentum particularly after 2020, reaching the highest publication volume in 2025. While the USA and China emerged as the most productive countries, the leading institution was Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. The most prolific author in the literature was Li, Bin, and HortScience was identified as the journal publishing the highest number of articles. The USDA provided the greatest financial and institutional support to these studies. Of the total publications, 46% focused directly on Agriculture, while 26% were in Food Science & Technology. The fact that the most cited publication centers on phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity demonstrates that the field is not limited strictly to cultivation, but also establishes strong links with human health and nutrition disciplines. The findings serve as a valuable reference for identifying research gaps and fostering future international collaborations.
