Reviewing two decades of energy system analysis with bibliometrics

The field of Energy System Analysis (ESA) has experienced exponential growth in the number publications since at least year 2000. This paper presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis on ESA by employing different algorithms Matlab and R. focus results is quantitative indicators relating to type publication outputs, collaboration links between institutions, authors countries, dynamic trends within field. five twelve most productive countries have 50% 80% respectively. dominant institutions are even more concentrated small countries. A significant concentration published papers was also confirmed analysing networks. These show same university or country. There strong link among successful journals, institutions. journal had field, its editor-in-chief Lund H author with as well highly cited In terms dynamics past decade, recent years seen higher impact topics related flexibility hybrid/integrated energy systems alongside decline individual technologies. provides holistic overview two decades' research output enables interested readers obtain key this active
