Short Food Supply Chains in Africa: A Bibliometric and Thematic Mapping of an Emerging Research Field (supplementary data)

This dataset relates to the study “Short Food Supply Chains in Africa: A Review of Landscape, Promises and Paradoxes.”It comprises 80 bibliographic records derived from a merged search of Web of Science, Scopus, EBSCOhost, and ProQuest Central databases.The records were harmonised and deduplicated using DOIs, with Web of Science providing the unified source for the final dataset.The dataset captures publication metadata (authors, titles, abstracts, keywords, DOIs, affiliations, cited references, and citation counts) related to short food supply chains (SFSCs) and analogous local food system concepts within African contexts.The data were processed using the bibliometrix and Biblioshiny packages in R (v4.5.1), producing the analytical basis for co-authorship, co-citation, and keyword co-occurrence networks presented in the paper. It also contains the R script for running the data

本数据集关联研究《非洲短食品供应链：现状、前景与悖论综述》。该数据集包含80条文献记录，源自Web of Science、Scopus、EBSCOhost及ProQuest Central四大数据库的合并检索结果。研究人员通过DOI对记录进行标准化整合与去重，最终以Web of Science作为统一数据源构建本数据集。本数据集收录了非洲语境下短食品供应链（Short Food Supply Chains, SFSCs）及同类本地食品系统相关概念的出版元数据，涵盖作者、标题、摘要、关键词、DOI、机构、参考文献及被引频次。本数据集使用R语言（v4.5.1）中的bibliometrix与Biblioshiny包进行处理，为论文中呈现的合著网络、共引网络及关键词共现网络提供了分析基础。此外，本数据集还包含用于运行该数据处理流程的R脚本。
