生物文化一词经常被援引为人类学整体视野中的一个统一主题。为了确定其在当前人类学出版物中的使用模式和意义，我们对生物文化在AAA期刊，当代人类学（CA），人类学年度评论（ARA）和美国人类生物学杂志（AJHB）中的使用进行了文献计量学审查2000-2014。该术语在AAA期刊，CA和ARA的177篇文章和74篇AJHB文章中发现，约占人类学期刊发表文章总数的3%，约占AJHB 2000-2014年发表文章总数的5%。生物文化一词最常指的是社会环境如何影响人类生物学（AAA/CA/ARA为75%，AJHB为95%），并与健康（AAA/CA/ARA为46%，AJHB为77%）相关。来自生物和文化子领域的文章在AAA/CA/ARA样本中平均代表（分别为37%和36%）。生物栽培一词所描述的内容有很大的差异。进化论或政治经济学分析在少数文章中使用术语生物文化。目前，对于生物文化的定义标准还没有达成共识，在其使用方面存在很大差异。[生物文化，整体论，文献计量分析]
The term biocultural is often invoked as a unifying theme in a holistic vision of anthropology. To ascertain patterns in its use and meaning in current anthropological publications, we conducted a bibliometric review of the use of biocultural in AAA journals, Current Anthropology (CA), Annual Review of Anthropology (ARA), and in American Journal of Human Biology (AJHB) from 2000–2014. The term was found in 177 articles in the sample from AAA journals, CA, and ARA, and in 74 AJHB articles, representing approximately 3 percent of the total number of articles published in the anthropology journals and approximately 5 percent of those in AJHB from 2000–2014. The term biocultural most commonly referred to how the social environment affects human biology (75% in AAA/CA/ARA, 95% in AJHB) and was topically aligned with health (46% in AAA/CA/ARA, 77% in AJHB). Articles from biological and cultural subfields were evenly represented in the AAA/CA/ARA sample (37% and 36%, respectively). There was extensive variation in what the term biocultural described. Evolutionary theory or political economic analyses were employed in a minority of articles using the term biocultural. Currently there is no consensus on what criteria define biocultural, and there is wide variation in its use. [biocultural, holism, bibliometric analysis]
