Bibliometric analysis on the research of offshore wind power based on web of science

Abstract

As renewable energy expands rapidly in installed capacity and in built-over area, constructors and researchers are shifting their sights from the lands to the seas. Offshore wind power (OWP), or offshore wind farm, is a typical source of the renewable energy constructed on the offshore islands or in the oceans. Since the installed capacity of OWP has become booming since 2000, its relevant researches also grow substantially. The objective of this paper is to quantify the research works of OWP and to analyze their focuses, main producers and high impact literature using bibliometric method, where the OWP-related core literature in recent 40 years are sorted out and a visualized analysis closely concerned terms, contributors on national/regional basis, and highly cited articles. The results show that researchers have been largely followed on the grid-connection operations, the frameworks and the ambient environment change of offshore wind power. Moreover, the UK has taken the leading position on the study of OWP at present.

Flood Risk Analysis and Assessment, Applications and Uncertainties: A Bibliometric Review

“…Articles from the rest of the WoS databases like KJD, SCIELO, RSCI and DIIDW (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) are almost testimonial, less than 2.5%. This distribution is very similar to the global distribution of the database, although with a greater presence of the WoS nuclear database (95.3-96.5% vs. 70%), double the percentage in CCC (64.7-66.6% vs. 34.2%) and half of the percentage in Medline (16)(17)(18).5% vs. 32.7%). Once again, we see a more scientific vision of the FRA and its technical application (CCC), compared to more research related to biomedical sciences (Medline).…”

“…Most of them were published recently (2005-2015), and despite this, they had a high number of citations in a short time. All of them had two or more authors (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17), with a mean of 5.2 authors per paper. This is because some of the selected items were reviews and syntheses made by huge groups of collaborators and international consortia.…”

The Past, the Present, and the Future: A Bibliometric Analysis of Failed/Fragile/Collapsed State Research During 1990–2020

“…In brief, reviews are a sort of creative destruction in that they establish a cohesive sub-domain based on a set of exemplars and reduce the impact of non-exemplars in the future (McMahan and McFarland, 2021). Although, it seems to be a convention in bibliometric analysis to analyze articles and reviews together (Deng et al, 2020;Yang et al, 2020;Ye N. et al, 2020;Ye P. et al, 2020;Yeung and Mozos, 2020;Yu et al, 2020;Zhai et al, 2020). My review is not exempt, which uses a joint analysis of articles and reviews, but it should not be overlooked that the analysis might be more scientific and rational if the reviews had been removed from the search query.…”

Are the Purchase Prices of Solar Energy Projects under Development Consistent with Cost of Capital Forecasts?

“…Renewable energy has become a key priority in many geographical areas as it provides clean and sustainable energy, among other benefits, to companies and households [1][2][3][4]. Furthermore, investment in renewable energy is crucial to achieving the ambitious climate targets outlined in the Paris Agreement, where large investments in infrastructure are required to ensure growth and meet the basic needs of the population in developed countries [5].…”
