Abstract

 Despite the growing body of research on erosion risk management (ERM), a significant gap remains in studies specifically examining ERM through bibliometric analysis. This study bridges this gap by analyzing 81 ERM-related publications retrieved from the Scopus database using bibliometric techniques, VOSviewer, and Microsoft Excel. The analysis reveals that a limited number of prominent authors, affiliations, countries, and funding sources characterize ERM research. The United Kingdom dominates funding of ERM research, with the Environment Agency, Bristol, emerging as the organization with the most ERM-related publications, and India, aggregately, taking the lead as the country that is most associated with ERM research. The triad of Avanzi J.C., Curi N., and Viola M.R. has the most impactful works based on citation counts, with Catena having the reputation of the most cited journal concerning ERM research. A notable increase in ERM publications, post-COVID-19, suggests growing interest in sustainable development and risk assessment techniques like GIS.  Keyword Co-occurrence Analysis (KCA) identified four major research hotspots, which informed the identification of research gaps and future research directions. This study provides a foundation for further exploration of ERM and its potential to drive sustainable development.
