bibliometric analysis of natural lakes and paleolakes origin of natural events

Abstract

This study explores studies on lakes and paleolakes originating from natural effects. The main objective is to perform a bibliometric analysis of research on naturally occurring lake environments worldwide, covering the period from 2014 to 2024. Data extracted from 1687 documents in the Scopus database were analyzed using VOSviewer software. The results reveal a strict trend towards a focus on geosciences and the environment, underlined by research. This study particularly highlights the relationships between authors, co-authors, keywords, and publishers of specialized journals in this research field, thus providing essential information to guide future research and to value the role of these geological environments, which are rare in the world, based on essentially multidisciplinary geoscience approaches.
