“…The aim of the analysis is to indicate the current state of water research in these countries. Similar analyses were published for the whole water footprint sector (Mubako, 2018;Wang et al, 2018;Zhang et al, 2017) or individual countries like Spain (Aldaya et al, 2020), China (Zhu et al, 2019), the Czech Republic (Ansorge et al, 2019), or Brazil (Bodunrin et al, 2018).…”

Bibliometric analysis of water footprint research in countries of former Yugoslavia

2021

Sustainable development of water resources requires new tools and research in these fields of study. A systematic overview of water footprint research in countries of former Yugoslavia is presented through bibliometric analysis and publication review. The Scopus database was used as the data source. Among the countries of former Yugoslavia, only researchers from Slovenia, Serbia, Croatia, and Bosnia and Hercegovina published papers focused on water footprint research before March 2021. Research on water footprint in these countries was found to be insufficient in scope and intensity. The contribution of authors from the countries of former Yugoslavia is small compared to research in other countries all over the world but is not insignificant. Almost 2/3 of articles have already been cited by other authors. Two main centers of water footprint research are at the University of Maribor in Slovenia and at the University of Novi Sad in Serbia, respectively. The research is focused on the so-called volumetric water footprint, while the LCA water footprint stands outside the interest of the scientific community in countries of former Yugoslavia.

“…While until the end of the last century the average number of publications per year was not very significant, there has been great growth in the last 20 years, a trend observed in studies in the environmental area (Abejón & Garea 2015;Durán-Sánchez et al 2018;Ji et al 2018;Taddeo et al 2019;Velasco-Muñoz et al 2019). Mubako (2018) produced a bibliometric analysis on blue, green, and greywater quantification approaches and his results present a great correlation between the number of articles published by the journal. However, specifically in greywater, Water Science and Technology, which is not well ranked in Mubako (2018) analysis, stands out as the top publisher and as the one that receives more citations among the sample.…”

The increase in water demand in recent years led to the expansion of research and public policies on the reuse of water, especially greywater (GW). Given the diversity of research in the area, this paper proposes an analysis of the evolution of the area through an objectivity metric. Metadata of 1,524 publications indexed in the Scopus database between 1974 and 2021 were analyzed using the VOSviewer tool, and exponential growth in publications from 2013. Six different spelling variations were found for GW in the database. Despite the highly geographical scattering of academic production, developed countries, who began researching greywater earlier, had more connections and published more papers; except for Israel, which stood up with the highest average of citations per article. While developed countries lead the research area, developing countries are emerging in GW reuse research. These aspects reveal both the dispersion of the research structure development and a trend of intellectual production in GW from developed to developing countries. Also, we noted that countries suffering from water scarcity stood out with the highest activity in paper publishing. Thus, we expect that future research on GW reuse will take place in developing countries that face water scarcity.

“…This means, except for one (Malawi), almost no countries from South America or Africa have yielded a significant number of publications on SDG 6. The top ten countries for hosting corresponding authors regarding publications on SDG 6 are UK (43), USA (40), Netherlands (25), Australia (14), Germany (13), India (13), Switzerland (12), Italy (10), Canada (9), and Spain (8) (Figure 2d). This means that among the top ten countries hosting the corresponding authors of SDG 6-related publications, 60% are from Europe and 20% are from North America.…”

Understanding Recent Trends in Global Sustainable Development Goal 6 Research: Scientometric, Text Mining and an Improved Framework for Future Research

The fulfilment of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6, concerning water and sanitation, is critical in itself and also conditional for the other 16 SDGs being met. The purpose of this study was to understand the scientific research trajectories, spatiotemporal development, scientific collaboration, ongoing research themes, and gaps related to SDG 6. We propose a coupling of bibliometric and text mining methods in this work, to statistically portray the impact of water research on the accomplishment of SDG 6. Through the Web of Science database, we focused on a single UN SDG goal (i.e., six related publications that were current (2015–2021)). The study was performed on the chosen 289 publications. With the analysis of Keywords Plus, abstracts, titles, as well as author keywords, we looked at the performance of authors, publications, journals, institutions, and nations in terms of publishing. To obtain an insight into the water and sanitation study topic, we used co-citation, co-occurrence, cooperation networks, theme networks and cluster analysis, word dynamics, thematic evolution, and other techniques. We filtered out five distinguishing themes using text mining and showed their temporal trends. The main outcome is that participation, as well as collaboration with countries of the Global South, is still lacking in the SDG 6 research sphere. Therefore, as an insight from this study, we proposed a conceptual framework, the sustainable development of water and sanitation (SDWS) framework, to classify the research domain of water and sanitation regarding its connections to the environment, economy, and society (i.e., sustainable development). The scientometric and text analysis results provide the contemporary state and overview of the water and sanitation research field, whereas the second, conceptual framework section, provides a better understanding of qualitative contents, by revealing the insights gained, as well as the important work to be done in future water and sanitation studies.
