Reviewing a Decade of Zero Waste Research: Bibliometric Analysis
Summary
A bibliometric analysis reviewed ten years of zero waste research (2013-2022), mapping key publication trends, influential authors, and emerging research themes. Zero waste strategies are directly relevant to reducing plastic waste and the microplastics generated when plastics degrade in the environment.
The purpose of this study is to describe the development of zero waste research over a decade, namely from 2013 and 2022. This study used bibliometric analysis with samples of 413 documents from the Scopus database. The research focuses include: 1) the development of publications and citations; 2) publication status based on influential authors and their countries; 3) dissemination of collaboration among researchers; 4) relevant keywords are used and the pattern of emergence from previous research. The research results show a significant impact in zero waste research studies. Overall, this research serves as a basis for developing new scientific questions that can contribute to the development of further research
