Trends of Chemical Engineering Applications in the Last Three Decades: A Scientometric and Retrospective Review
Abstract
Over the last few years, chemical engineering has been a signifi cant area of academic research because it is a major contributor
to the global implementation of other fi elds. This article reviews retrospectively that are relevant to chemical engineering
applications in the three decades. Based on the publication of high-quality articles, three chemical engineering publications
have been chosen as Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering (KJCE: 1989–2021), Chemical Engineering Journal (CEJ:
1996–2021), and the Journal of the Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers (JTICE: 2009–2021). The general publication
scientometric statistics, prominent geographies distribution of top authors, keywords, journal metrics, and contribution
towards organizations, authors, and countries were comprehensively reported. KJCE provided one of the three journals
with a historical concrete publication record dating back to 1989. CEJ and JTICE possessed the highest publication records
in just a brief period. A detailed investigation was carried out on the top 10 most cited articles and their scope in chemical
engineering applications. China has been found to contribute the most to the publication of articles in CEJ and JTICE. The
fi ndings verify that there has been a notable increase in the variety of documents published and a noteworthy progression
in the journal throughout time. Furthermore, every journal should increase the amount it contributes to the development
of early career research programs and special issues in focus areas, both of which help to promote and encourage the next
generation of researchers to engage in innovative research.
