Bibliometric Analysis of Research Hotspots and Trends in the Transformation and Development of Agricultural Enterprises

As a pivotal subject within the realm of agriculture, the transformation of agricultural enterprises has been progressively capturing extensive attention from scholars and decision-makers alike. In order to understand the research hotspots and trends in the field of agricultural enterprise transformation, a comprehensive analysis was conducted employing Citespace software, utilizing the Web of Science Core Collection as the primary data source. This multidimensional investigation encompassed diverse aspects such as publishing countries, research institutions, publishing journals, subject categories, most cited journals, most cited papers, keyword co-occurrence, keyword clustering, and keyword burst. The synthesis of these analyses yielded a comprehensive overview of research hotspots and developmental trends in the field of agricultural enterprise transformation and development. The findings indicate an ascending trend in the annual paper publications within the agricultural enterprise transformation and development field. The countries contributing most significantly to publications include the People’s Republic of China, the United States, Italy, Spain, and Australia. Notably, the journal “Sustainability” featured the highest publications. Keywords with substantial frequency of occurrence encompass “Innovation”, “Performance”, “Impact”, “Management” and “Sustainability”. The identified research hotspots could be synthesized into two main thematic categories: “Sustainable Development and Innovation” and “Agricultural Innovation Development and Policy”. Foreseeably, the forthcoming trajectory of research within agricultural enterprise transformation and development is likely to focus on sustainable development and innovation management of agricultural enterprises.
