Abstract

Energy for Sustainable Development is a leading international journal in the fields of energy research and sustainable development, published on behalf of the International Energy Initiative. The journal was first published in 1994. In celebration of its 30th anniversary in 2024, this paper presents a comprehensive bibliometric overview of the most significant trends in the journal between 1994 and 2023. The objective of this study is to identify the journal's impact, the most productive and influential authors, institutions, countries/territories, leading topics, and to analyse their evolution over time. The work is primarily based on data from the Scopus database. In certain instances, the Web of Science Core Collection database is employed to improve the bibliographic analysis. Furthermore, we present a graphical mapping of the bibliographic material, employing the Visualisation of Similarities (VOS) viewer software to facilitate more in-depth analyses. The graphical visualisation utilises co-citation, bibliographic coupling, and co-occurrence of author keywords. The results highlight the substantial growth and impact of the journal throughout its entire lifetime. It is anticipated that the journal will continue to expand its international diversity and disseminate knowledge in energy research and sustainable development on a global scale.

能源促进可持续发展30年：文献计量学综述

《能源促进可持续发展》是能源研究和可持续发展领域的主要国际期刊，代表国际能源倡议出版。该杂志于1994年首次出版。为了庆祝2024年创刊30周年，本文对该期刊1994年至2023年间最重要的趋势进行了全面的文献计量概述。本研究的目的是确定该期刊的影响力、最具生产力和影响力的作者、机构、国家/地区、主要主题，并分析其随时间的演变。这项工作主要基于Scopus数据库中的数据。在某些情况下，可以使用Web of Science核心馆藏数据库来改进书目分析。此外，我们提出了书目材料的图形映射，采用相似度可视化（VOS）查看软件，以促进更深入的分析。图形可视化利用共引、书目耦合和作者关键词共现。结果突出了该杂志在其整个生命周期中的实质性增长和影响。预计该杂志将继续扩大其国际多样性，并在全球范围内传播能源研究和可持续发展方面的知识。
