Publication Performance and Trends in Mangrove Forests: A Bibliometric Analysis

Mangroves are one the most productive ecosystems on Earth, and they are geographically located in the tropics and sub-tropics. Notwithstanding their critical role in providing a large number of environmental services and benefits as well as livelihood provisions, mangrove forests are being lost glob...

Notwithstanding their critical role in providing a large number of environmental services and benefits as well as livelihood provisions, mangrove forests are being lost globally at an alarming rate.

Despite their enormous importance to people’s lives and the ecosystem, no bibliometric study on this topic has been published to our knowledge.

Using the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED) database of the Web of Science Core Collection (Clarivate Analytics), we identified 13,918 documents published between 1990 and 2019.

Six publications and their citations per publication (<i>CPP</i><sub>2019</sub>) were applied to evaluate the publication performance of countries and institutes. When considering the top ten Web of Science subject categories, articles published on the ecology of mangroves had the highest <i>CPP</i><sub>2019</sub> of 28. Environmental sciences have been the major category since 2013. The USA dominated the total articles and single-author articles. The USA was also the most frequent partner of international collaborative publications. China published the most single-country articles, first-author articles, and corresponding-author articles.

The Australian Institute of Marine Science dominated all kinds of publications with the top <i>CPP</i><sub>2019</sub>. Together with the USA, Australia, China, India, Brazil, and Japan ranked both the top six on total publications and total publications in 2019.
