Review and future trends of soil microplastics research: visual analysis based on Citespace
A bibliometric analysis of soil microplastic research revealed that the field is still in early development compared to aquatic microplastic science, with growing focus on agricultural soil contamination, food security risks, and the role of sewage sludge and plastic mulch films as primary soil inputs. The authors identify key knowledge gaps and predict future research directions.
Gaps and Pathways Towards Standardized, FAIR Microplastics Data Harmonization: A Systematic Review
This systematic review examines why microplastic research data is so hard to compare across studies. It finds that a lack of standardized methods for collecting, analyzing, and reporting microplastic data is a major barrier, and proposes a framework for making research more consistent and useful for understanding health risks.
From nanoplastic to microplastic: A bibliometric analysis on the presence of plastic particles in the environment
Researchers performed a bibliometric analysis of 3,820 publications on nanoplastics and microplastics from Web of Science, finding substantial growth in publications since 2009 with the USA and China as top contributors, while identifying gaps in standardized methodology and definitions that complicate cross-study comparisons.
Global research hotspots and trends on microplastics: a bibliometric analysis
A bibliometric analysis of microplastics publications from 1990 to 2022 found a 19-fold increase in publications and 35-fold increase in citations since 2015, with research clustering around distribution, toxicity, analytical methods, and adsorption of co-pollutants.
Study on riverine microplastic pollution based on bibliometrics and visualisation analysis
This is a bibliometric and visualization analysis of riverine microplastic pollution research published by Inderscience; based on the abstract, this appears to be a journal indexing entry or editorial note rather than a primary research study presenting new data on microplastic contamination.
