“…Improper disposal of solid waste can result in pollution of the air, water, and soil, leading to negative impacts on human health and the environment (Ifeoluwa, 2019;Massoud et al, 2023;Mekonnen et al, 2020). Consequently, studying solid waste management practices enables informed decisions that promote ecosystem health and productivity, ensuring the sustainability of our planet's resources (Abdullah et al, 2021). The importance of efficient solid waste management in preserving public health, preserving resources, mitigating climate change, and safeguarding the environment is undoubtedly evident.…”

“…Despite extensive research on various aspects of solid waste management, such as landfilling, composting, and incineration, several challenges persist (Abdullah et al, 2021). Further research is needed to explore waste reduction and source separation issues; sustainable waste management practises, and social and economic obstacles to effective waste management, as noted by Kazuva et al (2021), Kombiok et al (2021), Govind and Mahongnao (2021), and Orhorhoro and Oghoghorie (2019).…”

Implementing efficient solid waste management practices is paramount in safeguarding the long-term viability of our planet’s natural resources and ecosystems. In addition, it represents a reasonable approach to future management decisions. This study aims to analyse the trend of solid waste management research publications in the Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases. ScientoPy was used to analyse the datasets in this study by defining publication growth, projected subject areas, productive source titles, productive countries, and the most frequently used keywords over time. The findings of this study underscored that the Scopus and WoS databases evince a steady escalation in publications throughout the years, with a marked upswing from the outset of the 21st century. The three subject areas with the most published documents are Environmental Sciences & Ecology, Engineering, and Science & Technology - Other Topics. India has been found to possess the highest count of published documents, amounting to 474 papers, and displays a comparatively high percentage of documents published in 2021 and 2022 (PDLY) of 23%. Based on an analysis of research topics, it has been determined that solid waste management is a multifaceted and interdisciplinary area of research that encompasses a broad spectrum of topics, including but not limited to sustainability and life cycle assessment. This input provides valuable insights that can aid in comprehending issues, addressing gaps, and directing future research endeavours, particularly those related to ecological cycles. Such insights can assist researchers in resolving pressing concerns and generating innovative solutions. Prospective studies in solid waste management may focus on innovative waste treatment technologies, policy analysis, economic implications, and investigation of emerging issues such as sustainability and life cycle assessment. Interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge sharing can facilitate the resolution of solid waste management issues.

“…These volumes had a significant impact on the ecosystem, endangering the globe and posing a threat to natural resources. Uncollected waste and improperly disposed waste have a substantial impact on public health and the environment (Abdullah et al, 2021;Kaza et al, 2018). Furthermore, it also results in a long-term economic impact on environmental recovery, which frequently leads to increased costs of developing and operating basic, appropriate waste management systems (Kaza et al, 2018;Sreenivasan et al, 2012).…”

The research interest in the field of green marketing and waste management can be demonstrated through the published literatureon the topic. However, there is a paucity of extensive and systematic research focusing on the evolution of this discipline in terms of itscitation work. The main objective of this study is to explore the status of scholarly works on green marketing and waste managementthrough a bibliometric citation and networking analysis of papers published from 2012 to 2021. The data was extracted from the Web of Science (WOS) utilizing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysed (PRISMA) review process. The VOSviewer software was used to visualize the networking linkages. The findings of descriptive analysis showed that publications and citations related to green marketing and waste management are highest in 2021. Likewise, the networking analysis showed that the Science of the Total Environment journal has the highest citation counts, while Wan Yinfeng, Wang Junshi, Xu Guoping and Yi Huangare the authors with the highest citation counts, respectively. The findings also uncovered Sinosteel Wuhan Safety & EnvironmentalProtection Research Institute (WSEPRI) as the most cited institution. Co-authorship and co-occurrence analysis were also found to provide significant discoveries. This study offers future scholars’ knowledge on the analysis of cited journals, papers, authors, institutions, and countries in the same field. Overall, the study serves as a guide for journal editorial boards on the growth among authors and networking opportunities in the field of green marketing and waste management, especially at the international level.

“…The bibliometric evaluation includes identifying the author's research areas, the citation network, and the authors' keywords Kar & Wray, 2016;Sofyan, 2022). Moreover, bibliometric data can be utilised to analyse any credible form of knowledge for a given bibliometric study (Abdullah, 2021) Bibliometric analysis can be used to examine bibliometric data gathered from various databases, such as Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Microsoft Academics, or Dimensions (Abdullah et al, 2021). In addition, the analysis can be visualised using multiple tools, including VOSviewer, SciMAT, and ScientoPy .…”

Leachates are the aqueous effluent produced from waste filtration of rainwater, biochemical activities in the waste cells, and the unavoidable water content of the waste itself. Leachate can travel into soil and subsoil, seriously affecting the land, surface water, and groundwater ecosystems. Leachates typically contain significant quantities of organic matter, ammonia-nitrogen (NH3-N), toxic chemicals, and organic and inorganic chlorinated salts, which are detrimental to living and biodiversity. Based on the significant risk posed by leachate, many kinds of research have been conducted on these environmental concerns. Therefore, this paper aims to analyse and report leachate-related publications by ASEAN authors based on the data collected from the Scopus database. As of 24th April 2020, a total number of 1133 articles were retrieved and analysed. This study examined publication productivity by analysing descriptive publication patterns and visualising keywords co-occurrences. The results showed that there had been an increase in the literature on leachate growth rate from 1989 until 2020. However, the number of publications slightly dropped in 2011 and 2014. This study revealed the widespread scholarly communication techniques in leachate research, which will assist future researchers in identifying the fundamental parts of this body of knowledge. In conclusion, this study enables researchers to develop innovative solutions to the leachate environmental problem by assessing the bibliometric parameters that provide the study’s crucial and noteworthy findings.
