Navigating Türkiye's Energy Horizon: A Bibliometric Exploration of Academic Contributions to Energy, Fuels, and Hydrogen Subjects

Abstract

This paper aims to unveil the intellectual structure and knowledge flow within Türkiye's academic landscape, shedding light on influential research clusters and highlighting the interconnections between different research themes. The manuscript also synthesizes findings from a Web of Science database, elucidating the growth trajectories of Türkiye's contributions to the global discourse on energy, fuels, and hydrogen. Additionally, the role of interdisciplinary collaboration has been explored and the impact of Türkiye's research output on the international stage has been assessed. According to results, the oldest date goes back to 1972 for energy&fuels topic and 1989 for hydrogen topic. Whereas Ayhan Demirbas and Ibrahim Dincer are the most productive authors, Istanbul Technical University and Yildiz Technical University are the most productive institutions. Moreover, USA and Canada are the most efficient countries for colloborations. Last of all, while new trends in Energy&Fuels publications have been observed as machine learning, supercapacitor, nanoparticles, electric vehicle and graphene, new trends in hydrogen publications were observed as methanolysis, multigeneration, ammonia, thermodynamic analysis and graphene.
