Query: “Volunteered Geographic Information”
Timespan: 2000-2021
Document Type: Articles and book chapters
Query data: March 24th, 2021
Tool for Analysis: R bibliometrix
Out of 417 journals/books, 402 articles were published in a peer-reviewed journal, 2 in book chapters, and the rest in other places. Around 98% of the articles were multi-authored documents.
For citations, we found that papers started to get actively published after 2013, where the numbers peaked at 77 papers in 2018. As the literature of VGI is growing according to the, we are hoping to get more results in the upcoming years.

As previously mentioned, the first figure below shows that the USA, Germany, and the UK are the highest producing countries of the world. Although the links doesn’t show the strength of collaboration, it is highly likely from the other statstics that the network between European countries is strong compared to other continents.
The next figure is the centrality and betweenness amongst published papers. We can see that Goodchild’s paper “Citizens as sensors: the world of volunteered geography” was in the centre of the graph where it got cited over 210 times in WoS (>5,000 in Google Scholar). As the term is new and created from an active researcher, it been continuously cited over years.
I found that the bibliometrix
are focusing on the networks of co-citations from the collections, but can only work on one database at a time. Each database requires different search queries and options for which the researcher can opt for, but there is less flexibility in bibliometrix
.
I am currently working on ways to integrate the bibliography across databases and examine the results after removing the duplicates.
