Abstract

Objective: Identify the scientific production of the species Phaseolus vulgaris L. through a bibliometric analysis.

Design/methodology/approach: Bibliographic data were downloaded on the Scopus platform and bibliometric indicators were determined: published documents, growth rate, type of published document, areas with the highest number of publications, countries, journals, authors, institutions and foundations with the highest number of publications.

Results: A total of 7447 publications were identified with an annual growth rate of 2.16%, and 44,144 citations were recorded. The area with the most publications was agricultural and biological sciences. The most productive countries were Brazil, the United States and Mexico. The 23,667 authors were identified with an average of 5.34 authors per publication. The most researched topics are focused on the performance and development of the plant.

Limitations on study/implications: Publications found outside the scopus platform were not considered.

Findings/conclusions: Knowing the scientific production of P. vulgaris allows researchers to develop research with a greater degree of relevance.
