Description
Mahmoud Kandeel maps the growth of camel research in South Asia using bibliometrics, the statistical study of publications. Camels matter deeply to the region's culture, farming, and dry landscapes. Kandeel pulled records from the Scopus database and analyzed them with mapping software.
The search found 1,106 documents from 320 sources, written by 2,443 authors. About seventeen percent of the work involved partners abroad. Six topic clusters stood out, covering camel biology and veterinary care, milk and its products, genetics, diseases and their control, body tissues, and effects of camel products on human health. India and Pakistan produced most of the papers. Interest is rising fast in camel milk and in compounds that fight oxidation and inflammation. The field has shifted from basic physiology toward molecular and genomic work. Kandeel calls for more support and teamwork so the region can draw fuller value from its camels.
