Bibliometric Study of Renewable Energy Technology Development: Application of VOSviewer in Identifying Global Trends

Abstract

This article presents a bibliometric study on developing renewable energy technologies using VOSviewer software. The study identifies key global trends in renewable energy research and maps collaboration networks among researchers, institutions, and countries. Data were extracted from major scientific databases, including Scopus and Web of Science, covering publications from the last decade. The results reveal that research on renewable energy technologies has significantly increased, with a growing focus on innovation, sustainability policies, and the economic impact of clean energy adoption. Notably, recent studies emphasize "green finance" and its role in accelerating the transition to renewable energy. Furthermore, this study highlights the shift from purely technical research towards interdisciplinary approaches that integrate policy, economics, and environmental sustainability. Unlike previous studies, this research employs a comprehensive bibliometric analysis combined with network visualization to provide a clearer picture of the evolution of research topics and international collaboration patterns. These findings offer valuable insights for strengthening global partnerships and fostering clean and sustainable energy innovation.
