|
Background: In this study, articles publshed in North Korean journals from 1961 - 2023 were examined to understand research trends, focusing on ginseng science.
Methods and Results: Researchers from each field reviewed and selected several articles, resulting in a total of 224 papers. The number of researchers was 484, and the number of authors per paper was found to be 2.16. In North Korea, Jo Seong-Gyun published the most academic papers in the field of ginseng science, which is a total of 11 papers. On reviewing the ginseng- related papers published in 17 North Korean academic journals from 1961 to 2023, it was found that one paper was published in 1961, 9 papers were published in 1989, 8 papers were published in 1995, another 8 papers were published in 2003, 11 papers were published in 2017, 10 papers were published in 2019, and 13 papers were published in 2022. The number of research papers published increased every year until 2003, after which it decreased by around 2010. However, the number of papers published increased rapidly during the mid-2010s. The papers were further classified based on the field of research as follows : genetic resources and breeding (11 articles, 4.5%), biotechnology (195 articles, 79.9%), cultivation and production (19 articles, 7.8%), facilities (3 articles, 1.2%), and quality and harvest management (16 articles, 6.6%).
The Biotechnology Branch, North Korea’s main research institute in the field of ginseng, has five research organizations, including botany, zoology, experimental biology, plant physiology, and molecular biology. The research organization of the Academy of Medicine has 20 research institutes.
Conclusions: This study is considered useful as it highlights the research status and technological level in North Korea, by classifying the articles published in the North Korean academic journals for the first time, in the field of ginseng science.
