Abstract

The present study has analyzed nearly the year-wise growth of citations and publications on Disaster management research publications during the 10-year study period between 2012 to 2021 with 14841 research publications and 164179 citations. From the study, a maximum of 2248(15.15%) research publications are contributed in the year 2021. The authors a maximum of 43(16.17%) research publications are contributed by Shaw, R., and the United States. The RGR is 2.94 in the year 2012 and 0.16 in the year 2021. This study confirmed that the RGR is decreasing trend. At the same time doubling time was found at 0.24 in the year 2012 and 4.24 in the year 2021 and it is confirmed that doubling time is an increasing trend. For the subjects, a maximum of 4635(43.37%) research publications are contributed by Earth and Planetary Sciences, and the authorship pattern with 2246 research publications are contributed by single authors, and the average degree of collaboration is 0.85. The average CC is 0.57, the average CI is 3.18, and the average MCC is 3.18. The time series analysis statistical application will be expected in the year 2025 to be around equal to 14,424 and in the year 2030 around equal to 20,894.  So that time serious analysis confirmed that the publications are increasing trend. The document type a maximum of 9984(67.27%) research publications are contributed by articles, and the journals a maximum of 721(25.81%) research publications are contributed by the Natural Hazards. The Institutions have a maximum of 265(19.333%) contributions to be Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the country has a maximum of 2774(23.23%) research publications contributed by the United States. The highly cited papers of 768 citations are received for the publication of Lindell, M.K., and Perry, R.W. (2012) The Protective Action Decision Model: Theoretical Modifications and Additional Evidence, Risk Analysis, 32(4):616-632.
