Water, research, availability, Scopus, databaseAbstract
Sumber daya air di Asia Tengah terutama berasal dari gletser Pegunungan Tian Shan dan Pamir, yang telah terdampak signifikan oleh perubahan iklim global. Pembentukan dan konsumsi sumber daya ini tidak seimbang karena tuntutan produksi energi dan pertanian. Tinjauan ini menyelidiki isu ketersediaan air di Asia Tengah menggunakan pendekatan bibliometrik, menganalisis 299 makalah akhir yang terindeks di Scopus. Analisis ini berfokus pada tren dan jenis publikasi, peneliti dan lembaga yang aktif, sponsor pendanaan, bidang studi, jurnal dan negara terkemuka, kata kunci, dan kerja sama internasional. Minat penelitian terhadap ketersediaan air di Asia Tengah telah meningkat secara bertahap sejak tahun 2010, dengan hasil utamanya dipublikasikan sebagai artikel penelitian. Distribusi geografis menunjukkan bahwa negara maju dan berkembang berkontribusi pada bidang penelitian. Jerman dan Tiongkok adalah pemimpin dalam kolaborasi kemitraan. Lamers JPA diakui sebagai peneliti paling aktif, sementara Akademi Ilmu Pengetahuan Tiongkok memegang posisi terdepan di antara berbagai organisasi. Selain itu, Yayasan Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam Nasional Tiongkok berada di peringkat teratas, yang mendukung penelitian terbanyak. Topik penelitian terintegrasi terutama dalam Ilmu Lingkungan dan Water Switzerland diposisikan sebagai jurnal terbaik. “Ketersediaan air”, “Perubahan iklim”, dan “Asia Tengah” digambarkan sebagai kata kunci yang paling populer.
