A Bibliometric Analysis and Visualisation of Research Trends in Nano Cellulose and its used in Medical Engineering

Abstract

Nano cellulose is one of the best options for reducing the impacts of plastic and its one of the important segments of the plastic industry.Thebibliometric analysis had been conducted to understand the active authors, organizations, journals, and countries involved in the research domain of “Nano cellulose” and its use in medical engineering field.All published articles related to “Nano cellulose” from “Scopus”, were analyzed using the VOS viewer to develop analysis tables and visualization maps.This article had set the objective to consolidate the scientific literature regarding “Nano cellulose”and also to find out the trends related to the same.The most active authors in this research domain were Wang X, Mhaske S T, and Savadekar N.R (Refer to table 1). The overlay analysis of top countries researching Nano cellulose indicates that China and South Africa were the leading countries relating to the highest number of publications, citations, and co-authorship links (Refer to figure 5). The top journals of this research domain were identified as Carbohydrate Polymers and Nano Energy.
