Bibliometric analysis, Oxidation stability, FAMEAbstract
In the present study, a bibliometric analysis has been carried out with relation to the FAME research topic on its production, rheological and tribological studies for the last ten years (2010-2019). The scientific collaborations throughout this timespan were investigated according to different parameters in Web of Science (WoS). Based on the keyword search string, the top productive journals for the FAME research and their co-citation relationships were revealed in this study. Energy Fuels, Fuel and Wear are indicated to be the top three most influential journals of this research topic. Apart from that, the top productive countries, organizations, authors, funding agencies and their respective visualization networks were also investigated. A keyword co-occurrence analysis was conducted to reveal thematic areas in FAME research. A strong research interest in FAME oxidation stability and its tribological behaviour was one of the main findings of this analysis. FAME as biolubricant is recommended due to their ability to reduce wear and friction, also by adding a proper amount of additives, the poor oxidative stability characteristic of FAME could be resolved. These findings are expected to encourage more FAME-related research and communications in this field.
