Global trends and status in Detergents research during the years 2000-2020: a systematic analysis

Abstract

Abstract Detergents are one of the most serious environmental issues. This challenge, on the other hand, has been around for a long time, with articles on it dating back more than a century. Furthermore, the number of researchers in this field has increased as a result of the emergence of the Coronavirus in early 2020. The reason appears to be that, according to the structure of the coronavirus, detergents are capable of killing the virus, and it can be stated that using washing solutions in conjunction with a mask is one of the most important strategies for preventing corona spread. The purpose of this research is to create a bibliometric and review article that can be viewed at a glance from 2000 to 2020 in order to understand the trend of studies in this field. Despite the scarcity of research in this field, an attempt has been made to take a professional look at it. According to the findings, there has been a significant increase in the number of detergent-related publications over the last 20 years, indicating strong research growth trends. According to the subject category study, the most common subject categories were biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. "Journal of Biological Chemistry" is the most productive journal, followed by "Journal of Dairy Science," "Animal Feed Science and Technology," and "Revista Brasileira De Zootecnia." The United States is the largest contributor to the total number of publications, followed by Brazil and China. Detmann, E. from Brazil ranks first among the authors by a significant margin (nearly two times) over the other authors in the field of detergent. Furthermore, keyword clustering analysis was used to identify the pioneer countries, and it revealed that the volume of landfill leachate-related publications increased significantly during the study period.
