SCIENTOMETRIC AND PATENT RESEARCH OF TECHNOLOGICAL TRENDS IN THE AGRICULTURAL SPHERE USING “WEB OF SCIENCE” AND “DERWENT INNOVATION” PLATFORMS
Abstract. The main results of scientometric and patent research are described. This results are aimed at establishing the most promising and moderately promising technological directions for making forecasts for 2021–2030. Forecasts are necessary for Ukraine to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 2 “Overcome hunger, agricultural development” and its national goal “2.2 To double agricultural productivity, primarily through the use of innovative technologies”. The research was carried out using the international platforms “Web of Science” (WoS) and “Derwent Innovation”. The period under study is defined as 2011–2018. The results of a scientometric analysis of world and domestic publication activity and the dynamics of citations are presented. According to the growth rate of the number of citations (2018/2014, %) and keywords, the top-5 technological directions in the agricultural sector were identified. Using the international database “Derwent Innovation”, based on the codes of the International Patent Classification, the dynamics of patenting has been investigated and the growth rates of the number of patents in the world (2018/2014, %) have been determined. The study of a selected array of patents was carried out on key words/ technological areas related to global technological trends in the agricultural sector. A selection of technological areas with a high rate of patent activity was carried out, which are grouped and presented on four landscape maps. In order to compare the results of scientometric and patent analysis, a summary table has been developed, on the basis of which the most promising and moderately promising technological directions for further predictive research have been determined.
Keywords: agriculture, citation activity, forecasting, patent activity, patent research, prospective, publication activity, scientometric and patent research, sustainable development goal, technological direction.
