ELECTRIC VEHICLES: A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS AND A DETAILED VIEW
a bibliometric analysis and a detailed view
Resumen
Seen by many as a major technological advance, hybrid and electric cars are not new to the market. They were once strong competitors of conventional automobiles, but, for reasons that will be explained in this study, they were passed over and had a marginal participation in the history of the automobile since the 1930s. In this article, we carry out a bibliometric analysis and an extensive survey of scientific publications on electric vehicles. The Web of Science and Scopus databases were used. Electric vehicles were first published in 1922 in the Scopus database, while in WoS the first study was published in 1966. In the bibliometric analysis, different performance metrics were extracted, such as: total articles, total citations and citation per article. In addition, top 10 of the most productive and highly cited authors, main subject areas, sources or journals, countries and institutions are evaluated. A list of highly influential articles is also evaluated. Subsequently, a detailed discussion of the most cited articles and a classification by a ranking of one to ten is carried out. This article used the study by Pranab, Shukla and Abraham (2019) as a basis to structure the analyses.
