The analysis of promising world scientific and technological areas of research under the Sustainable Development Goal No. 15 on the protection and restoration of terrestrial ecosystems using the "Web of Science" and "Derwent Innovation" platforms

Abstract

The results of scientometric and patent research aimed at establishing the most promising technological trends for making forecasts for the period 2021-2030 are described. The study is focused on the achievement of Ukraine's Sustainable Development Goal No. 15 “Protection and restoration of terrestrial ecosystems”. The research was conducted using the "Web of Science" (WoS) and "Derwent Innovation" international platforms. The period under study is 2011-2019. The results of a scientometric analysis of world and domestic publication activity, as well as the dynamics of citations for a selected array of publications are presented. The publication activity and the activity of citing the countries of the world and Ukraine, as well as the main world and domestic companies, institutions, higher educational institutions carrying out scientific and technical activities in this area, were pointed. The analysis of the dynamics of citations and determination of the growth rate of the number of citations (2019/2015,%) by keywords / technological areas, which belong to the global technological trends in the field of protection and restoration of terrestrial ecosystems, were carried out. The top 10 technological areas that are the most promising for predictive research have been identified. The results of the analysis of the dynamics of patenting and the growth rate of the number of patents in the world and Ukraine in the field of protection and restoration of terrestrial ecosystems, based on the codes of the International Patent Classification using the "Derwent Innovation" international database, were given. The patent activity of the main countries of the world and Ukraine, and also the main world and domestic patent holders is established. The patent research was carried out on keywords / technology areas that relate to the global technology trends in the named area. The analysis of the dynamics and rates of patenting (2019/2015,%) was carried out. The selection of technological areas with a high rate of patent activity and placement of landscape maps on blue and green zones was carried out. The most promising, promising and medium-promising technological directions in the field of protection and restoration of terrestrial ecosystems for conducting predictive research have been identified.
