Abstract:

The present study aims to understand the current situation of research activities in biotechnology field in China, and thus provide reference for the researchers, research management department and journal editors. Using Bibliometric analysis method, we analyzed the distribution of domestic and abroad biotechnological papers published from 2005 to 2009 by the authors from Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences, in the aspects of paper content, author and organization. The results showed that the overall amount of the articles published by the authors from Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences experienced great growth. The authors involved in genetic breeding published the most articles. The most key words were micro-satellite, gene clone, gene expression and sequence analysis which present the current research focuses. Trait-related gene, pedigree identification, karyotype, genome and gynogenesis were the emerging key words which indicated new research field. Core authors were selected out and co-citation between authors were analyzed using the method of social network analysis. From the above, it could be concluded that in recent years, the number of biotechnology articles published by the authors from Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences increased steadily, and domestic paper number was much higher than international ones. Biotechniques such as micro-satellite were widely used and promoted great improvement of genetic diversity and genetic breeding. Close relationship between researchers had not came into being yet and the research production and research influence did not distributed equilibriumly in every institute of Chinese Academy of Fishery Sciences.
