A bibliometric analysis on the use of the multicriteria approach to the water resource management

Abstract

The purpose of this article was to accomplish a literature review to analyze the scientific studies which were based on Multicriteria Methods to study water resources management in agriculture. Scientific production indicators were established for the subject, through a descriptive analysis of 519 publications data set generated by the Scopus database search engine. The publications were refined applying several criteria resulting in 30 articles considered to be the most important to interpret the factors that detail the researched topic. The analyzed scientific studies also show that the structuring of multicriteria models is designed to better understand the problem or the process of decision making rather than to make the decisions itself. Furthermore, to the water resources management field, they provide a way to discuss and deal with problems like water distribution and pollution. An aggregating function along with a compensatory approach is used in most publications. Although participatory techniques were not the approach used by most studies, its potential was recognized for dealing with problems such as water management resources.

Visualization and Analysis of Urban Air Quality Management Using Bibliometric Techniques and Social Network Analysis for the Period 1975 to 2022: A Review

“…A bibliometric analysis was carried out, creating indices that clearly represent the scientific work on a central topic. 54 Figures 3 to 5 , the distances among terms, the association between items and long distance indicate that there are weak associations and vice versa. 55…”

The Influence of Municipal Wastewater Treatment Technologies on the Biological Stabilization of Sewage Sludge: A Systematic Review

“…Figure 1 shows the stages developed in the methodology according to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) [28]. The information retrieved from the databases included (i) citation information, (ii) the abstract and keywords, and (iii) bibliographical information, including references to each scientific paper [29]. Subsequently, with ".RIS" files of the citations, the software Mendeley-Desktop© (version 1.19.4, Mendeley Ltd., London, UK) was used as a bibliographic manager, where the publications from the databases were unified and the duplication of the articles was identified to facilitate the organization and review of the information in the bibliometric analysis.…”
