Email this article Bibliometric Analysis of Bioenergy Conversion Technologies: Research Trends, Knowledge Maps, and Future Prospects.
Abstract
Bioenergy conversion technology plays a crucial role in addressing global energy challenges by converting biomass into usable energy, such as electricity, heat, and biofuels. Although the volume of research in this field continues to grow rapidly, a comprehensive analysis of trends, knowledge structure, and contributions of key actors is still scarce. Through a bibliometric analysis utilizing data from scientific databases, this study reveals publication patterns, journals, and influential contributors including authors, institutions, and countries. Furthermore, this study maps the H-index, generates a word cloud to identify core themes, and explores the thematic structure and emerging research areas. Further analysis was conducted using a three-field plot based on keywords, publication sources, and country of origin to understand research dynamics. These findings offer crucial insights into the evolution of bioenergy research, identify knowledge gaps, and open opportunities for cross-disciplinary collaboration to drive innovation and support global sustainability.
