“…This type of analysis was introduced in the academy by Eugene Garfield in the mid-20th century [61], and today it has spread in various academic fields, such as management [62], environment [63], and Earth Sciences. This last field has allowed the study of some disciplines, such as seismology [64], marine hazards [65], hydrogeology [66], landslides [67,68], remote sensing [69], oil industry [70], and geotourism [71], among others. In bibliometric analysis, a topic called bibliometric mapping is presented, which allows a visual understanding of the structure and behavior of the scientific field by observing the connections in its structure represented by units of analysis, such as documents, countries, or authors [72].…”

Rockfall Research: A Bibliometric Analysis and Future Trends

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Rockfall is one of the main phenomena in mountainous environments due to its fast and high speed of movement, its unpredictability, and, therefore, the difficulty of identifying signs of instability and detachment of the blocks. Compared to other types of sliding, the proportion of rockfall research is smaller and sometimes little known, but, in the last five years, rapid growth in this area has been shown. Therefore, this research aimed to review the intellectual structure of rockfall, through analysis of scientific production using bibliometric techniques that allow its analysis, knowledge, global evolution, and future trends in rockfall. The research methodology consists of three steps: (1) data compilation, (2) software and data cleaning, and (3) analysis, interpretation, and visualization. This analysis focuses on the period from 1975 to 2019. For the data, a total of 811 academic publications were retrieved from the Scopus database. The results indicate an increasing trend of annual publications on rockfall. This analysis reveals the main topics, countries, and most influential institutions in the world that have carried out relevant research in scientific publications; it also shows the journals that have the most publications. VOSviewer software was adopted to evaluate the co-occurrence of author keywords. Currently, the hotspots rockfall issues mainly include: hazard-risk assessment, remote sensing, and rockfall monitoring. Finally, this article analyzes the limitations of current research and proposes a future direction for the development of new research.
