Abstract:In order to understand the global development of common carp research, this article used a bibliometric method to conduct a thematic search of relevant papers included in the Web of Science Core Collection database and CNKI China Academic Journal Full Text database for the period 1999-2021, using "common carp" as the search term. The data is visualized by Excel 2016, GraphPad Prism v8.4.0 and VOS viewer software. The results showed that 12401 SCI papers on common carp were retrieved through the Web of Science platform, including 2487 domestic papers. While 5817 Chinese papers were retrieved from the CNKI Chinese Academic Journals Full Text Database. According to statistics, Chinese research has shown an overall upward trend in the field of common carp research since 2006, and the number of papers has ranked first internationally. China has strong research institutions, top agricultural universities and researchers in the first class of research technology. In recent years, aquatic and fishery science, marine and freshwater biology, and environmental science and ecology have become three popular research directions. Moreover, research on ecology, pathophysiology, toxicology and other disciplines has also developed to a certain extent. However, the paper quality is poor and we need to keep up with the international research situation in the field of common carp, and further improve the paper. In general, China is moving to the forefront of the world, and has great potential for common carp research.
