Citizen Science Project: A Bibliometric Analysis (2014–2023)

Abstract

This research was conducted to determine research trends regarding citizen science projects using bibliometric analysis Data was obtained through the Scopus database using the keyword "citizen science project" and limiting the search for articles in the last ten years from 2014 to 2023. The database obtained was exported in RIS and CSV form, and then the metadata obtained was analysed using the tool VOSviewer software that produces density and overlay visualization. The results show that citizen science project research is divided into 8 clusters. The number of publications from 2014 to 2021 has increased to 86 articles, and in 2022 the number of publications has decreased to 79. The results of this analysis show that research on citizen science projects has excellent opportunities to be linked to other variables and as a reference for further research that will be applied in the field of Biology Education.
