Research Trends on The Presence of Microplastic Particles in The Environment and The Impact of Microplastics Around the World From 2010 - 2022: A Literature Review and Bibliometric Analysis
AI summary Read the abstract
This literature review and bibliometric analysis maps global research trends on microplastic pollution and its environmental and health impacts from 2010 to 2022. Publication rates have increased dramatically over the period, with most research focused on marine and freshwater contamination. The study provides a useful overview of where microplastic science has grown and where gaps remain.
Microplastics is a pollutant that increasing and are having an effect all around the world. Microplastics pollution is mostly caused by urban and suburban areas, which eventually end up in water bodies such as rivers, lakes, seas, and oceans. Therefore, this study presents a literature review and bibliometric analysis of microplastics and impact or potential of microplastics research around the world from 2010 to 2022 in order to provide researchers and scholars around the world with an overview of the results and trends in microplastics research. A textual query on two databases; Scopus (268 papers), and PubMed (1913 papers) using the term "microplastics" OR "plastic particle" AND "impact of microplastics" OR "potential risk of microplastics" was performed on 12 May 2022 retrieving 2181 scholarly papers from 2010 to 2022 related to microplastics studies for in-depth analysis. Bibliometric analysis were performed using Rstudio software version 4.1.1 and biblioshiny for bibliometrix to visualize and analyze trends of microplastics research. This bibliometric analysis was analyzed the annual scientific publication growth, the most productive authors, most frequent word has been using, most famous journal name, and which countries has highest collaboration with other country in microplastics research. According to the findings of the analysis, microplastics studies have remarkably increases steadily from 2010 to 2021 in Scopus and PubMed databases, the country of China is the country with the highest number of scientific production, the most relevant author is Wang J in Scopus database, and Zhang Y in PubMed database, the most relevant journal is by Science Of The Total Environment in Scopus and PubMed database, the most frequent word in microplastics research is "microplastic" and "plastics", and the top most collaborations among country publishing of microplastics research were the collaboration countries between the China and United States (USA) in Scopus and PubMed databases.
