Global research patterns on Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)

Fabrizio Terenzio Gizzi, Giovanni Leucci

Abstract

The paper deals with the analysis of worldwide research patterns concerning Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) during 1995-2014. To reach the fixed aim the Thomson Reuters' Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED) and the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) accessed via the Web of Science Core Collection were the two bibliographic databases taken as a reference. The authors pay attention to the document typology, the publication trend and citations, the subject categories and journals, the most cited articles, the countries and the institutions involved, and the hot issues. As concerns the main research subfields involving the GPR use, they were five in the 20-years period investigated in this article. We refer to the physical-mathematical (PM), sedimentological-stratigraphical (SS), civil engineering/engineering geology/cultural heritage (CE/EG/CH), hydrological (HD), and glaciological (GL) subfields. The outcomes of this study can contribute both to get an insight into the changes made in GPR related research over the time and supply clues about the future research trends.
