GLOBAL SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTION ON CLIMATE CHANGE ARTICLES: A BIBLIOMETRICS ANALYSIS

Tóm tắt

This research used Bibliometrics and spatial distribution to describe science research productivities in patterns of article types, country, and journal via climate change articles on SCI during 2007-2018. In 25278 articles on climate change field, total research publication and article form is increasingly from 2007 to 2018. Total research productivity increases sharply in 2018 year, gains to 3325 articles and 2800 article forms in 2018 year. Moreover, article form is the highest research production gaining 19917 articles (1^st ranking). USA is a country, where has the highest publication outputs in all the article types and in total research productivity (23286 articles with 1^st ranking) including 5369 independent articles (23.06%) and 17917 collaborative articles (76.94%). CLIMATIC CHANGE journal has the most research outputs with 1105 articles (4.37%), 1^st ranking, and it increases sharply in the last years. NATURE CLIMATE CHANGE journal have not any research output in first years of publication period. This paper found out 163 countries in climate change article publication, whereas Vietnam is ranked the 45^th with 159 articles (0.63%) including 33 independent articles (50^th ranking, 20.8%) and 126 collaborative articles (44^th ranking, 79.2%); and on the world map, Vietnam is performed by light blue color. Additionally, the map also shows that the research productivity is almost revealed on all countries with different research productivity quantities. The countries have high publication, are located highly in USA, Canada, Europe community, and some Asian countries (e.g. China, India, etc.). They are categorized into 5 ranks from low to high amount of publication and be colorized respectively. For example, independent publication is showed from small red round dot to big one, and cooperative publication is performed in different colors, in which USA has the most publications in dark blue and big red do. This paper, therefore, revealed science growth, research publishing trend, and spatial distribution of countries on climate change articles, and it also provides knowledge as well as more understanding about climate change field.
