The Evolution of Microplastics Research: Global Trends and Agricultural Implications
Researchers analyzed over 16,000 publications on microplastics from 2014 to 2023 to map global research trends and their implications for agriculture. They found that China and India have emerged as major contributors, while domestic citations have increased, potentially indicating reduced international knowledge exchange. The study identifies 76 research topics and highlights the growing concern about microplastic impacts on agricultural systems.
Bibliometric Analysis on the Papers Dedicated to Microplastics in Wastewater Treatments
A bibliometric analysis of microplastics research in wastewater treatment found rapid growth in publications since 2015 with China and the EU dominating output, identifying removal efficiency, microplastic characterization, and sludge as the most-studied subtopics and highlighting ecotoxicology and health impacts as underdeveloped areas needing more attention.
Emerging trends in tackling microplastics in wastewater systems: Insights from a global research perspective
This bibliometric analysis mapped global research on microplastics in wastewater systems by reviewing over 2,200 studies published between 2009 and 2024.
