Abstract

Applications of Remote Sensing (RS) has recently attracted increasing attention in wildfire research. In this study, a total of 2842 documents related to remote sensing-based wildfire research (RS-based wildfire research) have been collected from Science Citation Index Expanded database in the Web of Science Core Collection (WOS CC) for analyzing its development and currently popular concerns by using VOSviewer. Results show that the publications exhibit an exponential increase on the whole since 2000. It is identified that the most productive journal is Remote Sensing, with 235 published articles, accounting for 8.27% of the total research publications. The United States is the most prolific country with 1200 documents. NASA, USDA Forest Service and University of Maryland that affiliated to USA are the top three institutions with more than 100 publications. The co-authorship network shows that the application of remote sensing to wildfire attracts a large number of researchers’ attention. The topic analysis demonstrates that the hot topics cover the whole process of wildfire. The reference analysis and co-citation network also confirm this finding.

遥感技术在野火研究中的应用：文献计量学视角

最近，遥感技术（RS）在野火研究中的应用日益受到关注。本研究从 Web of Science Core Collection（WOS CC）中的 Science Citation Index Expanded 数据库中收集了 2842 篇与基于遥感的野火研究（RS-based wildfire research）相关的文献，利用 VOSviewer 分析了其发展情况和当前的热门关注点。结果表明，自 2000 年以来，这些出版物总体上呈指数增长。研究发现，最有成果的期刊是《遥感》，共发表 235 篇文章，占研究论文总数的 8.27%。美国是发表文献最多的国家，有 1200 篇文献。美国国家航空航天局（NASA）、美国农业部林业局（USDA Forest Service）和美国马里兰大学（University of Maryland）是发表论文数量最多的三个机构，均超过 100 篇。合著网络显示，遥感技术在野火中的应用吸引了大量研究人员的关注。主题分析表明，热点话题涵盖了野火的整个过程。参考文献分析和合著网络也证实了这一结论。

期刊介绍： Fire Technology publishes original contributions, both theoretical and empirical, that contribute to the solution of problems in fire safety science and engineering. It is the leading journal in the field, publishing applied research dealing with the full range of actual and potential fire hazards facing humans and the environment. It covers the entire domain of fire safety science and engineering problems relevant in industrial, operational, cultural, and environmental applications, including modeling, testing, detection, suppression, human behavior, wildfires, structures, and risk analysis. The aim of Fire Technology is to push forward the frontiers of knowledge and technology by encouraging interdisciplinary communication of significant technical developments in fire protection and subjects of scientific interest to the fire protection community at large. It is published in conjunction with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and the Society of Fire Protection Engineers (SFPE). The mission of NFPA is to help save lives and reduce loss with information, knowledge, and passion. The mission of SFPE is advancing the science and practice of fire protection engineering internationally.
