摘要: As a new interdisciplinary field, synthetic biology has led to valuable innovations in the fields of medicine, chemistry, agriculture, energy and environment. In this paper, we systematically review the development status of global synthetic biology in the past six years, and make an in-depth benchmarking analysis of the field in China. With the aid of Scopus and SciVal, we analyze the scholarly output of synthetic biology in the world and individual countries, including publication distribution, popular journals and eminent institutions. Furthermore, the research focus and concepts, citation impact and collaborations are also examined using numerical index methods such as the field-weighted citation impact (FWCI) and relative activity index (RAI), showing the differences between data more intuitively. This study aims to offer a comprehensive understanding of the research status of synthetic biology in China and the world, offering a benchmarked overview of the results as a reference to guide the development of this field in the future.
