TWENTY YEARS OF RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT ON SYSTEMS THINKING IN RARE EARTH COORDINATION CHEMISTRY: A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS

The purpose of this bibliometric analysis is to assess trends and the impact of publications published within the last 20 years on the topic of systems thinking in rare earth coordination chemistry, from 2002 to 2022. This analysis is based on the Scopus database and reviewed using VOS viewers. This study uses 216 documents which are then sorted into 215 relevant articles. Based on the results of the analysis, the United States of America was identified as the most productive country in researching systems thinking and rare earths in coordination complexes (38.60%). The most published documents are in the form of books (41.4%), while only a few are published in the form of articles (27.4%). Chen X is a writer who is dominant in publishing about rare earth coordination complexes or systems thinking in book form. Meanwhile, the bibliometric analysis shows that the trend from year to year in research on rare earth coordination complexes is still detached from the aspects of systems thinking. This opens up opportunities to conduct rare earth coordination chemistry research by integrating systems thinking skills.
