Application of Bibliometric Analysis in the Study of Climate Change and Sustainable Development Practices

Abstract

Climate change is a global issue and it needs the attention of everyone for which the United Nations has covered this under Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs13). In this context, this paper attempts to make a bibliometric analysis to get an overview of research works conducted in the field of climate change and sustainable development practices. A total of 889 articles from the Dimension database have been considered for the study and they have been analysed with the help of Biblioshiny and VOS viewer software. Various bibliometric components like thematic evolution, keyword co-occurrence map, top authors etc. have been discussed in the study.  We found that the concerned field is an important research area as the number of documents is showing an increasing trend. So, more studies are expected in future. This paper will help future researchers in choosing the right area of work in the concerned field.
