Bibliometric, White-Nose Syndrome, BatsAbstract
This study presents bibliometric analysis of research publications on white-nose syndrome. A total of 171 articles published during 2007-2016 were retrieved from PubMed database by inputting the keyword white-nose syndrome. Results of the study indicated a high degree of authorship collaboration on WNS. PLoS ONE journal has published maximum number of articles (33) on white-nose syndrome. Blehert from National Wildlife Health Center, USA is the most prolific author on the subject with 25 publications.
