Abstract

We conducted a comprehensive analysis of research papers on ginseng to provide an overview of global ginseng research. The qualitative and quantitative interpretation was carried out using collected data of Panax species and six other herbal plants from the Web of ScienceTM Core Collection. We summarized and classified them by country/territory and institutions based on the corresponding author's institution. The first ginseng paper appeared in 1905 and since then, 8,090 papers have been published until 2019. Among them 7,385 papers were published in recent 24 years from 1996 to 2019. It was 18 papers in 1980, 53 in 1990, 97 in 2000, 369 in 2010, and increased to 678 in 2019. Proportion of ginseng papers in total number of scientific papers were also greatly increased, namely, 0.0008% in 1970, 0.0044% in 1980, 0.101% in 1990, 0.0141% in 2000, and 0.0422% in 2019. 7,099 original research papers including notes and 286 review papers were published during last 24 years. Total 3,286 institutions in 78 countries and 1,274 journals contributed to the publication of ginseng papers. Korea was the leading country in ginseng papers up to 2013, however, China took over the top from 2014. Chinese institutions contributed 40.3% of total papers followed by Korea (34.7%), USA (6.0%), Japan (4.1%), and Canada (2.9%). Ginseng was the most studied medicinal plant during last 24 years followed by tea, garlic, ginkgo, and ginger whose number of papers were 6,499, 3,641, 2,590, and 1,945, respectively.

지금까지 Web of Science의 core collection에 나타난 인삼 관련 연구논문의 수를 분석하였다. 인삼논문이 처음 나타난 1905년부터 2019년까지 전세계에서 총 8,090편의 SCI(E) 논문이 출판된 것으로 나타났다. 그중 최근 24년, 즉, 1996년부터 2019년까지의 논문이 7,385편이었다. 1980년 18편에 불과했던 인삼 논문이 1990년에는 53편, 2000년에는 97편, 2010년에는 369편, 2019년에는 678편으로 비약적으로 증가하였다. Web of Science의 core collection에 수재된 전체 학술논문에서 인삼 논문이 차지하는 비중도 1970년 0.0008%, 1980년 0.0044%, 1990년 0.101%, 2000년 0.0141%에서 2019년에는 0.0422%로 비약적으로 증가하였다. 지난 24년간 출판된 인삼 연구논문 중 원보(노트 포함)는 7,099편, 리뷰는 286편이었다. 총 78개국 3,286개 기관에서 연구가 이루어졌으며, 1,274개 학술잡지에 논문이 수재되었다. 전체 논문 중 중국에서 연구된 논문이 40.3%로 가장 높았고, 대한민국에서 연구된 논문이 34.7%로 한국과 중국의 연구가 전체의 75%를 차지하였다. 그 다음은 미국(6.0%), 일본(4.1%), 캐나다(2.9%) 순이었다. 2013년까지는 한국에서 연구된 논문이 가장 많았으나 2014년부터 중국에서 연구된 논문의 수가 더 많아졌다. 지난 24년간 인삼은 전세계에서 가장 많이 연구된 약용식물로 인삼 다음으로는 차(6,499편), 마늘(3,641편), 은행(2,590편), 생강(1,945편) 순이었다.
