“…Currently, scientometrics has been widely employed for evaluating scientific contributions, capturing trends in the forefront of disciplines, and visualizing these trends. It quantitatively analyzes published literature to objectively depict the core structure, historical development, and future research trajectories of relevant scientific studies [ [62] , [63] , [64] , [65] , [66] , [67] ]. The VosViewer software, developed by van Eck and Waltman [ 68 ], is utilized for analyzing bibliometric data obtained from the Web of Science (WOS) database.…”

“…Scientometrics is a branch of informatics that can quantitatively analyze bibliometric characteristics and objectively reflect the development history and trend of scientific research based on the published literature [80,81]. It has been widely used to assess scientific contributions, capture scientific developments, figure out map knowledge structures, and identify emerging trends [82][83][84][85][86]. Scientific knowledge mapping combines the theories and methods of applied mathematics, graphics, information science, and information visualization technology with citation analysis and co-occurrence analysis, visualizing the core structure, development history, and frontier fields of a given research field by the visual mapping [86,87].…”

Research Progress of Urban Floods under Climate Change and Urbanization: A Scientometric Analysis

et al. 2021

Urban floods research has been attracting extensive attention with the increasing threat of flood risk and environmental hazards due to global climate change and urbanization. However, there is rarely a comprehensive review of this field and it remains unclear how the research topics on urban floods have evolved. In this study, we analyzed the development of urban floods research and explored the hotspots and frontiers of this field by scientific knowledge mapping. In total, 3314 published articles from 2006 to 2021 were analyzed. The results suggest that the number of published articles in the field of urban floods generally has an upward trend year by year, and the research focus has shifted from exploring hydrological processes to adopting advanced management measures to solve urban flood problems. Moreover, urban stormwater management and low impact development in the context of climate change and urbanization have gradually become research hotspots. Future research directions based on the status and trends of the urban floods field were also discussed. This research can not only inspire other researchers and policymakers, but also demonstrates the effectiveness of scientific knowledge mapping analysis by the use of the software CiteSpace and VOSviewer.

“…Bibliometrics is the study of the relationship and use of numbers and patterns in bibliographic data, e.g., growth of literature and database usage [29]. Scientometrics is a discipline that quantifies scientific research personnel and achievements to reveal the process of scientific development using mathematical and statistical algorithms [30]. Scientific landscapes are graphical representations that reflect the structure, evolution, and main actors of a given scientific field.…”

Research Trends on Climate Change and Circular Economy from a Knowledge Mapping Perspective

The circular economy (CE) has been proposed as a potentially significant catalyst to enhance the current response to the global climate crisis. The objective of this study was to investigate the scientific literature of the research between climate change and CE adopting a knowledge mapping approach. Based on a total of 789 peer-reviewed publications extracted from Scopus, we found that research on climate change and CE is continually growing and interdisciplinary in nature. Europe notably leads scientific production. Keyword evolution shows that CE has been influenced by more lines of research than climate change. We also found that waste management is the CE approach most associated with climate change, mitigation is the climate action most impacted by CE, and food is the most reported greenhouse gas (GHG)-emitting material. However, there are knowledge gaps in the integration of the social dimension, the promotion of climate change adaptation, and the association of sustainable development goal (SDG) 13. Finally, we identified four potentially valuable directions for future studies: (i) CE practices, (ii) bioeconomy, (iii) climate and energy, and (iv) sustainability and natural resources, in which carbon recovery technologies, green materials, regional supply chains, circular agriculture models, and nature-based solutions are promising themes.
