Twenty years of research on transition in agricultural economics journals
分析了1989至2008年间16本农业经济学期刊中关于农业转型的论文，发现欧盟作者主导合作，北美作者重要性下降，前苏联作者贡献有限，研究越来越注重方法。
We analyse topics and authorship networks in articles on agricultural transition that \nwere published in 16 subject-related peer-review journals between 1989 and 2008. \nIncreasingly, articles on transition are written by authors from the European Union- \n15 in collaboration with authors from Central and Eastern Europe countries. The \nimportance of authors from North America has fallen since the mid-1990s, and \nauthors from Former Soviet Union countries have not made a large contribution to \nthe literature. A group of roughly 10 authors plays a central role in the literature on \nagricultural transition, which has become increasingly method-driven and less \ndescriptive or issue-driven over time. The co-authorship network for transition articles \nis characterised by a predominance of individuals or small groups of authors who have \npublished only one or two papers.
