Bibliometric Analysis of International Cooperation in Biomass Energy Research

It is well known that biomass energy has excellent environmental and economic benefits. The increasing international cooperation in the field of biomass energy has promoted the rapid coordinated development of global biomass energy research and industry. This article analyses academic papers in this field collected by SSCI or SCI from 2007 to 2016, uses bibliometrics for quantitative statistics and data mining, and VOSviewer software to generate international cooperation network maps. It also provides in-depth analysis and comprehensive comparison of changes in international cooperation in biomass energy research in major countries around the world, and reveals the context and direction of development in the global biomass energy field. The results of this study can provide scientific basis and support for the development of other related research work.
