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 limitati
ons. 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.
