ClearTopic modeling discovers trending topics in global research on the ecosystem impacts of microplastics
A topic-modeling analysis of global microplastic research literature identified nine dominant research themes and tracked how the field has shifted over time — from aquatic to terrestrial environments, from distribution mapping to fate/transport, and from gross physiological toxicity to cellular and genetic damage. The analysis also found that research is heavily concentrated in a handful of wealthy nations, leaving major gaps in understanding microplastic impacts in the most heavily polluted but under-studied regions of the world.
