Bibliometric Analysis of the Literature on Coastal Sediment Pollution

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Coasts, Estuaries and Lakes

Abstract

This study addresses a bibliometric analysis of the global research literature and the temporal research record on coastal sediment pollution. Two thousand five hundred publications were exported from the Dimensions database and analyzed by the VOSviewer software tool. The results showed a notable increasing trend in scientific productivity related to coastal sediment pollution recorded since 2007, while the highest number of publications are in 2014 and 2013. Biological, environmental, and earth sciences were the top investigated subject categories. The Marine Pollution Bulletin journal was ranked as the lead in coastal sediment pollution research publications. The analysis based on term occurrences indicates the shift of research interest from studying heavy metals pollution in marine sediments to microplastic pollution. The bibliographic coupling analysis of countries indicated that China is the most active and productive country based on the publication weight (813), citations number (6365), and total link strength (583,176). These analytical investigations provide a global overview of academic publications related to marine sediments pollution, which will be helpful to the researchers in discerning the latest trends and progress in this research domain. However, future investigations are recommended to fill the knowledge gaps on coastal pollution management and its social and economic implications.
