Abstract
The field of coalbed methane (CBM) is well recognized as being able to provide clean fuels and reduce carbon dioxide emissions, thereby helping to reduce global warming. It is an effective solution to the problem of global climate change. Given the importance of CBM research on sustainable development, we have developed a comprehensive and powerful visualization of Chinese CBM research to help other peers obtain a quick and efficient understanding of the current situation and development of CBM research in China. This method, by using CiteSpace, also represents a paradigm shift in our way of dealing with the large volume of scientific publications and could change the way literature searches and reviews are conducted, as well as how the impact of specific work is assessed.
Highlights
This paper aims to provide simple but clear approaches for both students and newcomers in the industry to obtain a better understanding of the current situation and the latest progress in coalbed methane (CBM) so that they can be better informed in choosing their research focus and direction
The best way to know a discipline is to read the published works, but in a vast sea of literature, how does one identify the appropriate publications that interest and suit us? This paper aims to introduce the methods of bibliometrics analysis for CBM research
Inspired by China’s energy policies (CO2 mitigation, climate change, and environmental sustainability), the field is going through a period of rapid development
Summary
This paper aims to provide simple but clear approaches for both students and newcomers in the industry to obtain a better understanding of the current situation and the latest progress in coalbed methane (CBM) so that they can be better informed in choosing their research focus and direction. There are different expressions for coalbed methane in academic theses, such as coal seam gas (CSG), coal seam methane (CSM), coal seam natural gas (CSNG), and coal mine methane (CMM). They all have the same meaning as CBM [1]. Listing these abbreviations can ensure that the collection of information and the retrieved literature are complete. The gas collected from reserves is not pure gas
