Agritourism: A Bibliometric Analysis of Publications between 2000-2024

Abstract

This research study conducts a thorough review of the agritourism research literature. The study used a structured literature review process to identify established and emerging research clusters for epistemological analysis. Using a structured literature review process, the study identified established and emergent research clusters for epistemological analysis. This research study carry out a comprehensive evaluation of the agritourism research literature. Research clusters that are both established and new were identified for epistemological examination in the study, which used a structured literature review process. In the study, established and emergent research clusters have been found for epistemological analysis utilizing a systematic literature review method. Such analysis aids in identifying the main research topics, interrelations, and collaboration patterns in the study area of agritourism and other fields of study incorporating related themes. Using visualization of commonalities, the agritourism research field is graphically mapped (VOSviews). VOS software examined the bibliographic information in 352 research publications using data extracted from Web of Science databases from a period of 2000 and 2024. This graphical mapping illustrated the authors’ and countries’ contributions, their collaboration, and publication pattern over the period. In addition, this paper gives insights about majorly studied research themes, identified common areas of current research interest and also potential directions for future research.
