A bibliometric analysis and visualization of environmental damage research from 2000 to 2018

Abstract

In recent years, the frequent eruptions of environmental pollution and environmental damage have caused great damage to the human life, property and the ecological environment, so more and more attention has been paid to the research on environmental damage. The study of environmental damage involves many disciplines, such as law, theoretical economics, applied economics, environmental science and engineering, political science, and so on. It is a comprehensive field of integration. In this paper, we used co-occurrence visualization analysis technology to make a detailed analysis of more than 1000 documents of Web of Science database. The co-occurrence of keywords can directly reflect the research hotspots in the field. Finally, we use the index of "emergence rate" to analyze the feasible direction of future research to provide references for future research.
