Climate change/global warming/climate emergency versus general climate research: comparative bibliometric trends of publications

This article presents and discusses the scientific publication record from 1910 to 2020 on two topics: ''climate'' (CL) and ''climate change/global warming/climate emergency'' (CC/GW/CE). The goal is to comparatively visualize how these two distinct publicatio...

description This article presents and discusses the scientific publication record from 1910 to 2020 on two topics: ''climate'' (CL) and ''climate change/global warming/climate emergency'' (CC/GW/CE).

It is found that research output related to the Earth's contemporary changing climate overtook that of general climate research in 2010, and the publication ratio (CC/GW/CE)/(CL) has been expanding in the last decade.
