Title: Bibliometric Analysis of Energy Security Research: An Analysis of Global Geopolitics Consequences
Abstract: Russia's provocative invasion of Ukraine has stirred up energy markets and geopolitics, escalating oil and gas prices to levels not seen in nearly a decade and causing several countries to rethink their energy suppliers. This crisis is a wake-up call for energy security. A bibliometric analysis of geopolitical energy security studies from 1995 to 2022 is presented in this study. The three leading journals chosen for their relevant and important publications were Energy Policy, Geopolitics and Geopolitics of Energy. These significant publications were produced individually by the two most productive authors. Interest in geopolitical energy security research has expanded to include countries as diverse as India, the Netherlands, and Kazakhstan. This focus of inquiry continues to attract new scholars from a wide range of fields. While China, Russia and the United States have a stronger connection to energy security and geopolitics, future trends should concentrate on energy policy to secure energy security. The findings of this study will be useful in determining future research topics and directions.
