RESEARCH TREND IN THE FIELD OF ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING WITH BIBLIOMETRICS STUDY

This paper reviews the current trend in the field of additive manufacturing based on the bibliometrics study. In particular, we assessed the interest of the research community revolving the hybrid material. Scopus database was referred to for the English literature on the hybrid materials in additive manufacturing, published in the time period from 2012 to 2022. As a result, 973 relevant articles were found and studied. Information related to the top journals in which they were published, as well as the topics of the papers were shown. Based solely on the quantitative study, the valuable insights were extracted. Specifically, we report the number of publications over the years, the fields where the publications belong to, the top journals that publish those works, and a network of keywords that are important for such a topic. The paper would serve as a brief and helpful introduction for researchers and practitioners to the current trend of the field.
