Bibliometric Studies and Worldwide Research Trends on Global Health.
Summary
This editorial introduces a special issue addressing global health challenges including environmental problems like climate change and plastic pollution from a bibliometric perspective. The papers in the collection analyze research trends across environmental, disease, and health domains at a global scale.
Global health, conceived as a discipline, aims to train, research and respond to problems of a transboundary nature in order to improve health and health equity at the global level. The current worldwide situation is ruled by globalization, and therefore the concept of global health involves not only health-related issues but also those related to the environment and climate change. Therefore, in this Special Issue, the problems related to global health have been addressed from a bibliometric approach in four main areas: environmental issues, diseases, health, education and society.
