Abstract

This study aims to identify the range of research trends by analysing bibliometric data in ship design and ship structure from 1990 to 2022 using the Scopus database. The findings are exported the same day to minimise differences between daily database updates. Only ‘article’ and ‘review’ are allowed as publication search types. Based on the sub-keywords: ship design, ship structures, and stiffened panels, a total of 1,279 publications (208 open access) written by 159 different authors are included in the analysis. Regarding the sub-keywords: ship reliability, hull girder, ultimate strength, and ship fatigue strength, 159 distinct authors have produced 1,774 publications (329 open access). To give a broad picture of the current state of peer-reviewed journals, this study's search of the Scopus database yielded 3.105 publications.

Keywords: • bibliometric analysis • research trends • marine structures • ship design • scientometrics
