Abstract
Camels are witnessing global attraction even in countries outside the natural camel habitat. This study aims to provide a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of camel research in North America, identifying key trends, influential contributors, and collaborative networks. Data was sourced from the Scopus database, yielding 786 papers on camel research affiliated with institutions in the United States and Canada. Bibliometric tools such as VOSviewer and R Studio’s Bibliometrix package were used to visualise and analyse the data. The bibliometric analysis of camel research in North America highlights substantial collaborative efforts between the North American countries and international partners. The data spans 493 sources, with an annual growth rate of 1.89%. The research involves 3127 authors and a notable international co-authorship rate of 52.04%. Camel research in North America spans multiple disciplines, including Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Medicine and Veterinary Sciences, Chemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, Immunology and Microbiology, Environmental Science, Engineering, and Social Sciences. This interdisciplinary approach underscores the broad impact and significance of camel studies. The international partnerships have facilitated significant advancements in understanding zoonotic diseases, genetic diversity, and the nutritional benefits of camel milk, underscoring the importance of maintaining robust international research networks to enhance the quality and impact of camel studies. This bibliometric analysis highlights the growing significance of camel research in North America, with strong international collaborations driving advancements. However, gaps remain in integrating advanced technologies and exploring socio-economic impacts in non-traditional regions. Continued investment and international collaboration are essential to address these gaps and drive innovative research initiatives.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
