Seed technology is an essential area of study for healthy and profitable agricultural practices. The study’s results will assist in evaluating and advancing seed technology. It will encourage seed technologists and research institutions to improve their performance and review their research policies. The study also highlights that the double authorship pattern (two authors) was the dominant trend in seed technology research, followed closely by the three-authored pattern. It was observed that collaborative authorship was more dominant than single authorship, with 91.3% of publications following this pattern, while only 8.7% of publications were authored by a single person. The years 2014, 2016, and 2017 saw the highest degree of collaboration. The most productive author was Lamont BB with a total of 50 publications. The top-cited author was Shewry PR, affiliated with Rothamsted Research in Harpenden, England, who received 3495 citations for 37 publications.
