摘要
This study explores the collaborative nature and interdisciplinarity of the origin(s) of life (OoL) research community. Although OoL research is one of the oldest topics in philosophy, religion, and science; to date there has been no review of the field utilizing bibliometric measures. A dataset of 5647 publications that are tagged as OoL, astrobiology, exobiology, and prebiotic chemistry is analyzed. The most prolific authors (Raulin, Ehrenfreund, McKay, Cleaves, Cockell, Lazcano, etc.), most cited scholars and their articles (Miller 1953, Gilbert 1986, Chyba & Sagan 1992, Wȁchtershȁuser 1988, etc.), and popular journals (Origins of Life and Evolution of Biospheres and Astrobiology) for OoL research are identified. Moreover, interdisciplinary research conducted through research networks, institutions (NASA, Caltech, University of Arizona, University of Washington, CNRS, etc.), and keywords & concepts (astrobiology, life, Mars, amino acid, prebiotic chemistry, evolution, RNA) are explored.

本研究探讨了生命起源（OoL）研究团体的合作性质和跨学科性。尽管OoL研究是哲学，宗教，和科学;到目前为止还没有使用文献计量方法对该领域进行审查。一个包含5647个出版物的数据集被标记为OoL，天体生物学，外生生物学，并分析益生元化学。最多产的作者（Raulin，Ehrenfreund，McKay，Cleaves，Cockell，Lazcano等），大多数被引用的学者和他们的文章（Miller 1953，Gilbert 1986，Chyba＆Sagan 1992，Wȁchtershȁuser1988等）以及用于OoL研究的流行期刊（生命起源和生物球和天体生物学的演变）。此外，通过研究网络，机构（NASA，加州理工，亚利桑那大学，华盛顿大学，CNRS等）开展的跨学科研究以及关键词和概念（天体生物学，生命，火星，氨基酸，益生元化学，进化，RNA）。
