Abstract
This research examines the output productivity of mechatronics through a quantitative and qualitative analysis from 2001 to 2020, covering a total of 20 years. Data were downloaded from the Web of Science (WOS). Globally, 3,359 papers with 46,043 citations were published, while in G5 countries, 599 papers with 5,942 citations were published in the field of mechatronics. Compared to other subjects in science and technology, the field of mechatronics has seen a considerably lower number of publications. Statistics show that approximately 1% of global publications are in mechatronics, compared to 30-35% in other fields. In 2007, a total of 5,010 highly cited papers were published, with an average of 35.79 citations per paper and an h-index of 36. The highest Activity Index (AI) of 381 was recorded for South Africa in 2008, and South Africa also had the highest Attractive Index (AAI) of 706 in 2012. The maximum Relative Quality Index (RQI) for South Africa was 2.00, while China's RQI was lower than the global average, at 0.87. In the coming years, it is expected that G5 countries and the global research area of mechatronics literature will see an increase in production.
