Abstract: An effective bibliometric analysis based on the Science Citation Index (SCI) published by
the Institute of Scientific Information (ISI) was carried out to identify wetland research between
1991 and 2008. The objective was to conduct a quantitative and qualitative analysis for global
trends of wetland-related research. The characteristics related to publications were analyzed. The
results showed the significant wetland research issues in the SCI database. From 1991 to 2008,
the annual number of journal articles published and the number of articles cited to wetland
research increased more than sixfold and ninefold respectively. The USA produced the most
single-country articles and international collaborative articles, followed by Canada and UK. The
results also showed the significant wetland research issues in SCI database. The most frequently
used words were: “water” (or “water quality”), which ranked 3rd, 7th, and 3rd according to the
word in article title, author keyword, and keyword plus analysis, respectively. Constructed
wetland biodiversity became more active in wetland research. The keywords “constructed
wetland” and “constructed wetlands” ranked 58th and 12th in 1991-1996, while they ranked 5th
and 4th in 2003-2008; the author keyword “biodiversity” ranked 45th in 1991-1996, while it
ranked 23rd in 1997-2002, and 14th in 2003-2008; and keyword plus “diversity” ranked 93rd in
1991-1996, while it ranked 20th in 1997-2002, and 17th in 2003-2008. Moreover, it was proved
that article title, author keyword, and keyword plus analysis methods were effective approaches
for mapping wetland research. Popular wetland research issues and wetland research changes
were also identified by statistical analysis. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
