    Full text link
    [EN] The main aim of this study was to analyze the scientific productivity, collaboration and impact of research on organic agriculture through bibliometric analyses of articles included in the Science Citation Index Expanded database for the period 1954-2013. A number of 1009 research articles were published in 359 journals belonging to several subject areas, being Agriculture Multidisciplinary, Agronomy and Environmental Sciences the most productive. A social network analysis of collaboration between small countries and co-words was performed in order to analyze the most powerful scientific cooperation. The results highlight the important of the collaboration between small countries from north and eastern of Europe, as well as four non-European countries along with the US: Canada, Australia, Brazil and China, which is consistent with the importance that the consumption of products derived from organic farming has in these countries.Aleixandre Benavent, JL.; Aleixandre Tudo, J.; Bolaños-Pizarro, M.; Aleixandre-Benavent, R.

    The objective was to analyze the spatio-temporal evolution of the production of scientific articles that used some methodology for the estimation of potential evapotranspiration in an agricultural crop (ETP). We compiled 475 texts available on the Web of Science. The models to estimate the most frequent ETP were those proposed by FAO-Penman-Monteith (31.79%), Pemnan-Monteith (26.11%), and Thornthwaite (11.37%), and were applied mainly to maize, sorghum, soybean and potato crops, in countries such as the United States, China, Brazil, and India, agricultural leaders worldwide. It was found that there was an exponential growth in the publication of texts from 1984 to 2020 (R2 = 0.7624), which demonstrates the relevance of the topic as a mechanism to make water use more efficient.El objetivo fue analizar la evolución espacio-temporal de la producción de artículos científicos que utilizaron alguna metodología para la estimación de la evapotranspiración potencial en un cultivo agrícola (ETP).
