    Global bibliometry on three decades of methyl jasmonate-induced plant defense research reveals growth of a specialty area in biology
    (Open Science Publishers LLP, 2025) Chugh, Vipul; Kumari, Kamlesh; Yamal, Gupta; Checker, Vibha Gulyani; Yadav, Gitanjali; Kathpalia, Renu
    Methyl jasmonate (MeJA), a naturally existing plant hormone, acts as a vital defense and signaling molecule. Although this hormone has been discovered recently, published reports spanning the last several decades have shown the pleiotropic effects of the hormone raising numerous questions about its regulation, biogenesis, and mode of action. In this work, we explore the complete scientific research on MeJa from its discovery in 1992, spanning research conducted over three decades, through a complex network analysis of 2,542 documents authored by about 9,000 individuals. Several indicators of research progress were evaluated, including co-authorship networks, keyword thematic maps, indices of national and international collaboration, annual scientific production, and most productive affiliations. These indices not only enabled us to evaluate the importance of a specialty discipline in literature but also the place of nations in determining research directionality and the significance of quality of work. Overall, this bibliometric analysis identifies current research trends in a specialty area in biology and we hope that our work would pave the way for greater international collaborations among researchers and a better understanding of research gaps and future scope of work in the actively expanding field of MeJA induced plant defense, stress, and developmental processes.

    Decision support systems based on scientific evidence: bibliometric networks of invasive Lantana camara
    (Indian National Science Academy, 2021) Mishra, Preet; Prasad, Abhishek; Babu, Suresh; Yadav, Gitanjali
    Extraction and analysis of useful knowledge from the vast amount of relevant published literature can add valuable insights to any research theme or area of interest. We introduce a simplifed bibliometric data analysis protocol for gaining substantial insights into research thematics, which can also serve as a handy practical skill for researchers while working from home. In this paper, we provide ways of developing a holistic research strategy using bibliometric-data driven approaches that integrate network analysis and information management, without the need for full paper access. This protocol is a comprehensive multi-modular pathway for analysis of metadata obtained from major scientifc publishing houses by the use of a Decision Support System (DSS). A simple case study on the invasive species Lantana camara has been presented as a proof-of-concept to show how one can implement this DSS based protocol. Some perspectives are also provided on how the outcomes can be used directly or scaled up for long term research interventions. We hope that this work will simplify exploratory literature review, and enable rational design of research objectives for scholars, as well as the development of comprehensive grant proposals that address gaps in research.
