Bibliometric analysis of Mosquito population research peaks

Abstract

Research regarding the topic of mosquito population has been on the rise in the last 13 years, and because of that, it is an interesting topic to analyze the trends and growth of. This paper aims to analyze research papers and journals, then visualize research trends on the topic of mosquito population in the last 13 years and identify potential research topics related to mosquito population for future research. The method of this study uses a literature review and bibliometric analysis using Google Scholar, DBLP, and VOSviewer databases, in which 999 documents were collected. The results illustrate that mosquito population research has been on the rise gradually, reaching its peak in 2020 and showing a decline afterwards. The author with the highest contribution is Giovanni Belleni, and the most common type of document is a research paper. More research regarding mosquito populations can be used to analyze the transmission of diseases and the effects of climate change. This study is limited in its scope because most of the data was obtained through Google Scholar and DBLP without thorough filtering. Hence, it is recommended for future research to go through additional steps to filter more of the obtained data.
