Abstract

Fungi constitute one of the most pivotal components of our planet's ecosystems, playing multifaceted roles crucial to the environment, industries, agriculture, and beyond. Despite their profound significance, mycological research in Egypt has, to some extent, been overlooked. Over an extended period, crucial information concerning scientific activity and publication rates has been lacking. It is imperative to integrate advancements in statistical analysis with scientific research to discern future research directions and potential limitations. This review undertakes a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of mycological research trends in Egypt. Our study employs innovative bibliometric tools, such as bibliometrix and VOSviewer, to analyze data extracted from three databases (Scopus, Web of Science, & CABI). The study highlights the peak publishing periods, with the highest rates observed between 2012-2022 for Web of Science and 2013-2021 for Scopus & CABI. Consequently, the review enables the identification of knowledge gaps and monitoring the dynamics of research activity, fostering the growth of mycological research, and contributing to the conservation of fungi in Egypt.
