Bibliometric mapping of cellulose nanoparticle research (2013-2023) - 2023) using VOSviewer

Cellulose is the most abundant biomaterial widely regarded as the most abundant organic substance and polysaccharide. Various materials, including cotton, ramie, algae, bamboo and tunicate, can be used as raw materials for nanocellulose. This study aims to do a mapping analysis using the VOSviewer application. The keyword "cellulose nanocrystal" is utilized in a scientific database using Scopus. Based on a search of 7,752 relevant publications published between 2013 and 2023. AThe bibliometric analysis was conducted using the VOSviewer software and Scopus Analytics. VOSviewer provides two separate visualization methods: network and overlay. 89,2% of journal articles, 6,3% of review papers, and 4,5 % of conference papers were obtained. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) and the isolation method of nanocrystals have been essential research subjects. China is the leading country in publications and research collaborations with cellulose nanocrystal subjects. An increasing trend until 2023 in cellulose nanocrystal research is the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules and Polymers. The best resource is Materials Science. Various isolation methods have been used to isolate CNC from various raw materials.
