“…This method was first proposed in 1986 by Callon et al (as cited in Ma et al , 2013) from the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in France in their paper entitled “Mapping the dynamies of science and technology”, in which word cluster analysis was involved. Nowadays, this method has been successfully utilized in nitrogen research (Gao and Guo, 2014), nitrogen and phosphorus removal (Lee et al , 2009), sulfate removal (Ye et al , 2014), wetland research (Ma et al , 2013) and environmental risk research (Mao et al , 2010). It can determine the relationships of all topics contained in the literature mainly by collecting and analyzing the vocabularies and phrases.…”

Purpose Membrane biological reactor (MBR) is recognized as an efficient and steady wastewater treatment process. The purpose of this study is to reveal the research trends of scientific outputs on MBR for the past 32 years. Design/methodology/approach A method of bibliometric analysis was performed, based on the online version of the Science Citation Index Expanded, Web of Science, from 1982 to 2013. In total, 5,305 articles related to MBR were evaluated. A new method named “word cluster analysis” was also used for further analysis. Findings Results showed a rising trend of publications in this research field. English was the main language used in these articles. Journal of membrane science published the most articles, proving to be one of the most authoritative journals. China and Dalian University of Technology were the most productive country and institute, respectively. Except for “membrane bioreactor” and “MBR”, “membrane fouling” was the most cited keyword, indicating the research hotspot nowadays and future. Originality/value This study serves as an alternative and innovative way of revealing the research trends in MBR research.

Biofuel production from sugarcane has been researched in terms of the environment. Performing a bibliometric method and visual network analysis, the purpose of this study is to assess the trends in sugarcane and bioethanol researches and recognize the associated hotspots based on 4958 publications from 1991 to 2020. The geographical distribution of articles and per capita sugarcane production in the world were also examined. As a widely used database in the field of bibliometric, the Scopus database was used in this research to collect relevant literature. The research method includes the bibliometric analysis of documents and citations, subject categories, journals, countries, institutions, authors, geographical distribution status of articles and annual sugarcane production, top articles. Finally, the social network of the author's keywords was reviewed. The VOSviewer software was used for performing graphic maps showing the co-authorship and communication of countries, authors and keywords. The results show a high growth in the number of published documents in this field and the tendency change from agricultural sciences to environmental sciences in documents and journals. Based on the study's gained results, Brazil is the undisputed leader, publishing 43.8% of the documents in last three decades, followed by the USA and India.

“…Research on multiple topics have used bibliometric analysis [21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. The review policies and analysis topics focused on using co-authors or co-words [28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. Moreover, there is a study that monitored the development process by analyzing trends and issues on specific topics [10,35].…”

In this study, we attempted to quantitatively determine the characteristics of keyword networks in the cadastre field using major contents of research drawn from international academic papers. Furthermore, we investigated the macroscopic evolution of cadastral research and examined its keyword network in detail (at a global scale) using semantic analysis. The analysis was carried out based on cadastral-research-related publications extracted from "Scopus" for 1987 to 2019. It was found that cadastre research has closely followed the recent trend of a growing interest in research on geospatial information and standardization. The results showed the advancement of technology innovation within the field of cadastres, as highlighted in the combination of relevant keywords (mostly from those related to spatial information technology and participation of civilians). These new issues are expected to drive the evolution of the academic scope in the future through synthesis with other fields for smart land management policy.Land 2020, 9, 50 4 of 19 well as performing a cluster analysis. The characteristics of each network group were also analyzed. As a result, the total number of network links was 2387, the density was 0.108, the average degree was 16, and the average distance was 1907. These attribute analysis values represent keywords on the network and help quantify and interpret the relationship between major keywords.
