Scientific Trends in Animal Waste and Environmental Sustainability: A Bibliometric Study
Summary
Researchers conducted a bibliometric analysis of 33,887 academic studies on the environmental effects of animal waste to reveal trends in publication distribution, research collaborations, and emerging topics. The study mapped the global landscape of animal waste and environmental sustainability research, identifying leading countries, journals, and keyword clusters that reflect the field's evolution toward circular economy and pollution mitigation approaches.
This study aims to comprehensively reveal academic trends, publication distribution, and research collaborations in this field by evaluating scientific research on the environmental effects of animal waste using the bibliometric analysis method.Within the scope of the study, 33,887 academic studies published between 1970-2025 were examined in line with the searches made in international scientific databases such as Web of Science and Scopus.Annual publication trends, most cited studies, leading researchers, most frequently used keywords, international collaborations, and institutions with the most publications were analyzed.The findings show that scientific productivity on the environmental effects of animal waste has increased significantly, especially in the last twenty years, and that the studies in this field have an interdisciplinary structure.It has been determined that the research is primarily concentrated in areas such as waste management, environmental pollution, sustainability, and biotechnological transformation.This analysis provides an important framework for understanding current research trends in animal waste management and environmental sustainability and identifying potential research gaps for future studies.The findings will guide scientists, policymakers, and industry representatives in reducing the environmental impacts of animal production and developing sustainable waste management strategies.
