bibliometrics, publish or perish, renewable energy, VOSviewerAbstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors influencing the utilization of renewable energy through a bibliometric approach. The data used in this research consist of articles published over the past 23 years, from 2001 to 2024. Bibliometric analysis was employed, which quantitatively examines publication trends, co-authorship networks, and keyword occurrences related to renewable energy. The findings of this research indicate a growing body of literature on renewable energy each year, utilizing various research approaches, including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods. This highlights the continued relevance of renewable energy research over the past two decades. Furthermore, the findings indicate that the terms “use of renewable energies,” “renewable energy resources,” “renewable energy,” “alternative energy,” “renewable energy sources,” “energy efficiency,” “sustainable development,” and “carbon dioxide” are commonly used and are applicable in the literature.
