A Window into the Field of Biotechnology Risk Analysis: A Bibliometric Approach

Abstract

Risk assessment is growing in its importance and application, and it plays a special role in the permeation of emerging technology products into the marketplace. Despite its importance, we know very little about the portfolio of risk analysis research for emerging technologies. In this paper, we use bibliometric methods to better understand the portfolio of risk analysis research for agricultural biotechnology with the goal of identifying gaps that are important for decision making and risk management.
