Analysis of Earth Science Research Output: A Scientometric Study

In this study, few studies have attempted to make a comprehensive and quantitative review on this topic. This study conducted a scientometric review on the Earth Science research from 2015 to 2019 using HistCite. Totally 4200 articles from the Web of Science core collection database were selected as the research samples. Our result show that The highest publication output in the year of 2019 with 1026 records (24.43%) and lowest publications founded in the year of 2016 with 685 (16.31%) publications. The most vital development in Earth Science research occurred in the USA, China, England, Canada and Germany. We are Suggest special strengthening in building international partnerships since cooperation occurs in most countries. International cooperation can improve research performance and in the end it leads to better exploitation.
