Title: | A 40-year bibliometric analysis of maritime English research : insights and implications | Authors: | Li, T Chen, Q Xi, Y Lau, YY |
Issue Date: | Mar-2023 | Source: | Sustainability, Mar. 2023, v. 15, no. 5, 4348 | Abstract: | This study aims to obtain a critical review of the characteristics and trends in Maritime English (ME) research over the last four decades. This study contributes to a comprehensive analysis of ME based on Web of Science and Google Scholar databases by VOSviewer software. Bibliometric indicators including trends, authors, scholarly journals, references, and keywords were used in it. Results show that ME education and ME communication are the main themes in the ME research field. The International Maritime English Conference (IMEC), International Maritime Lecturers Association (IMLA), and maritime journals affiliated with maritime universities published most of the ME research articles. Most of the productive and influential scholars and academic institutions are concentrated in Europe. Quantitative analysis is the main research method in ME. The study promotes a comprehensive understanding of ME research globally and provides valuable insights into its prospects. | Keywords: | Bibliometric analysis Maritime English communication Maritime English education Maritime English research VOSviewer software |
