- The purpose of this research is to analyse the research articles published in the field of agriculture in Turkey between 1996 and 2011 in order to determine the emerging agricultural research trends as to the topics mostly explored, and thus to identify whether the conducted research was compatible with the desired level of research regarding the research policies in agriculture. In the study, emerging trends and agricultural information structure are visualized with social network analysis; and the publications of agricultural faculties in Turkey listed on Life Sciences Database (YBVT) and Web of Science (WoS) are compared with the research articles published with an affiliation of agriculture faculties abroad. In this context, three different sets of data are used in the research. 7,471 articles affiliated with a faculty of agriculture on YBVT, 7,183 articles affiliated with a faculty of agriculture in Turkey on WoS, and 152,358 articles affiliated with agricultural universities, faculties, colleges, or schools abroad are analysed with bibliometric methods within three periodic divisions: 1996-2001, 2002-2006, and 2007-2011. The keywords and controlled words (CABICODE) of the publications listed on YBVT, CABICODEs of WoS publications - which are searched on Cab Direct and processed into data file -, keywords and WoS categories are analysed. YBVT’s controlled words and the keywords of the publications on WoS affiliated with Turkish or foreign academic institutions are visualized with social network analysis. In the scope of the research, the views, suggestions, and agricultural research policies such as the State Planning Organisation, The Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock, The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK), TÜBİTAK Supreme Council for Science and Technology and scholars between 1996 and 2011 have been reviewed. The outcome of this research indicates that the number of the research - which are often encouraged to be pursued priorites in agricultural policies - especially in natural resources like animal, plant and water resources, biotechnology, environmental sciences, genetic diversity, has increased in line with the policies. While there is a significant percentage of publications on biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics and heredity, microbiology and cell biology in agricultural faculties abroad, the percentage of the publications in these fields is much lower in Turkey. Whilst there has been a rise on the number of publications abroad on urban agriculture, carbon sequestration, conservation agriculture, it is found that there has not been enough research on these topics in Turkey. Although topics such as transgenic plants and genetically modified organisms have taken a significant place in agricultural research policies, there have been few studies on these topics. Although the number of publications in the fields of agriculture, plant and food sciences is decreasing, the number of publications in the fields of chemistry, environmental sciences, biochemistry, molecular biology is increasing. This shows us that more specific and interdisciplinary research on diverse topics has begun to be undertaken in agricultural sciences.
