Climate Change: A Bibliometric Review

The aim of this research is to bibliometrically examine the articles published between 2017-2021 on the subject of climate change. Research data were obtained using the Scopus database. As the article selection criteria, the articles written in the last five years and containing the concept of climate change in the title and abstract were filtered out. In addition, the criteria for the articles to be in English and to have the full text published were also taken into account. According to these criteria (n=662) articles were obtained. The articles were analyzed using the VOSviewer program. As a result of the analyzes, when the distribution of the articles on climate change by subject areas is examined, it has been determined that the most publications are produced in the fields of social sciences, environmental sciences and Earth and Planetary Sciences, and the number of articles is increasing every year. In addition, it has been seen that the subject is discussed in fields such as agriculture and biological sciences, molecular biology and genetics, Engineering, Economics and Medicine. In addition, it was found that the countries with the highest number of studies on climate change were United Kingdom, United States, Germany, Netherlands and Australia, respectively. Collaborations between the authors have been revealed. According to the situation emerging in the abstracts, the most common words in the articles are government, model, health, scenario and temperature. The most striking keywords on the subject are adaptation around the concept of climate change, global warming, environment, water management and energy consumption.
