Abstract
The interest in the concept of Resilience in the scientific community has been growing consistently over the past few years to study the functionality and behavior of systems against natural and man-made hazards. This is reflected by the number of journal articles that can be accessed in the Web of Science database. In this paper, a bibliometric and visualization method is applied to explore the status of resilience research in civil engineering applications by analyzing the journal papers published from 1996 to 2020. The bibliometric analysis aims at consolidating the state of the art by identifying influential journals, most cited articles, the geographic distribution of resilience publications including the research institutions by country, the author keywords distribution, and the co-authorship status. The concept of resilience is investigated through eight subject categories identified by the authors in the literature: Recovery time strategies and Downtime, Critical infrastructures, Probabilistic approaches, Fuzzy logic approaches, Structural health monitoring, Health Care facilities, Emergency management and Decision-making, Community and Urban Resilience. Results show that resilience research has increased rapidly since its introduction, most notably in the last seven years. In terms of the geographical region of the studies, most of them have been carried out in the USA, the United Kingdom, China, and Italy. Finally, based on the author keywords analysis, it is possible to observe that recovery strategies, critical infrastructures, vulnerability, and community resilience have attracted prominent attention during the past decade.
