Visualizing Energy and Environment Research Productivity in Australia: A Scientometric Profile
The present study conducted over the period of 1991-2014, selected to ascertain research trends, yielded a total of 2802 papers published in the wide-ranging field of energy and environment in Australia. Of the 2802 publications, 83.4% were journal articles and 99.7% were the English language. The result shows that a steady increase in Australia’s literature output from 21 papers to 308 papers in November 2015 (1466% increase); in Environmental Sciences Ecology (10.547%) is in the 4th rank and Energy Fuels (8.394%) is in the 6th of world literature during the study period. According to Australian research, the output of Environmental Sciences Ecology (13.807%) account for the largest increase, and it has been occupied in the first place and Energy Fuels (6.208%) is in the 6th place during the present study. The three most productive journals with huge citations were ‘Ecological Applications’ (= 4, 2721 citations), ‘Astrophysical Journal’ (= 44, 1614 citations), and ‘Monthly Notes of the Royal Astronomical Society’ (= 38, 1389 citations).
