Abstract

This bibliometric study investigates the literature on animal ecology from 2019 to 2023, focusing on trends, prolific contributors, and influential journals. By analysing 8942 article sourced from the Web of Science database, this study identifies key patterns in annual publication growth, citation trends, and the most prolific countries, institutions, authors, and journals and most preferred keyword. The analysis reveals that the United States leads in both productivity and citations, with the University of California System as the most prolific institution. “Ecology and Evolution” emerged as the top journal, while “Ecology” was the most frequently used keyword. The study highlights the consistent output of research in animal ecology for the last five years, which indicates that how speedily bibliometric study in field of library science supports in contributing to scientific advancement.
