Abstract
The paper represents a scientometric analysis of a documentary array selected form Web of Science database on the issue “Oil and petroleum products in soil and groundwater.” The analysis of the array shows its positive dynamics since the mid-1990s and especially active growth recently; names of the countries and organizations most actively working on the aforementioned problem; authors leading by the number of publications; periodicals and serial publications with high publication activity; scientific meetings that discussed the problems of soils and groundwater contamination by oil and oil products; and the most cited publications. The authors carry out visualization of the scientific field “Oil and petroleum products in soil and groundwater” using CiteSpace software. Documents co-citation analysis with the CiteSpace revealed main research fronts: biotransformation, biodegradation of oil and oil products in the studied media, bioremediation of these media, new research trend related to unconventional methods of oil production. The CiteSpace also lets to identify within the document co-citation network prominent cited publications (according co-citation frequency, betweenness centrality, and the strength of citation bursts). The most prominent research direction—bioremediation—is identified.
