Climate migration studies in the Pacific (CMSP) - A bibliometric analysis

Abstract

This study employed a bibliometric analysis approach to understand how climate migration studies in the Pacific (CMSP) have evolved and outline the future research scope needed to contribute to the academic discourse. The study reveals that CMSP has proliferated in recent decades. It explores the most prominent authors, highly cited articles with their sources, and institutions that have contributed most articles in CMSP. The analysis also demonstrates a shift in CMSP from traditional discussion to newly emerging dimensions. The knowledge produced in this study will help future contributors develop and implement new research and formulate policies around CMSP.
