A bibliometric review of Green Tide research between 1995-2023

In recent years, the frequent occurrence of green tides has attracted attention from academia and industry. Despite some literature reviews, systematic bibliometric and visualization analyses are still lacking. The study employs CiteSpace and VOSviewer tools to conduct a bibliometric and visualization analysis of green tide-related literature from the Web of Science (1995 to 2023). The study identifies key countries, institutions, journals, disciplines, and authors, and maps out their collaborative networks. Co-citation analysis provides an initial overview of various aspects within the green tide field. Keyword analysis has reveals six core themes: remote sensing applications, eutrophication and green tides, phylogenetic analysis, the impact of climate change, green tide management and applications, and studies focused on green tides in the China Sea. Additionally, keyword burst analysis has revealed two emerging trends. This study provides a strategic framework for future research, serving as a navigational guide in the field of green tide studies.
