Description

The present paper explores the scientific output of 'Soil Science Research' from 2020 to 2024. The information was gathered from the Web of Science database and analyzed using the Bibexcel Software. The study examines the Year-wise distribution of the publication research output, author-wise pattern, country-wise distribution of the publication, language-wise distribution, etc. The study revealed that most of the publications were found in 2024 (25.48%). The maximum number of publications was found in the Peoples R China (955). 2,402 records were retrieved and analysed by Bibexcel and VOSviewer Software.
