Abstract

This bibliometric study on global warming literature aims at analyzing the research output performances of global warming literature. The analysis covers mainly the number of articles, authorship pattern, subject-wise distribution of articles, average number of pages per article, the degree of collaboration, cited documents and the length of the article. The statistical data show a well defined trend of the global warming research.
