Mapping and Visualization of Fuzzy Control Research: a Scientometric Analysis during 2010-2019

Abstract

Fuzzy control is an important control algorithm and is applied in many areas. In this paper, scientometric analysis is applied to present a systematic overview of the research topics and current status of the fuzzy control. 13651 articles and 91885 relevant references from 2010 to 2019 are investigated from the Web of Science Core Collection. The most influential authors and journals are presented. The disciplines and topics of fuzzy control research are identified. The visual network of knowledge structure of fuzzy control is established. The deeper researches of citation bursts, centrality and sigma are made. The results of this research provide the practitioners a better understanding of fuzzy control and help the researchers do relevant further study.
