GLOBAL RESEARCH ON TSUNAMI EDUCATION AND TSUNAMI MITIGATION: A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS .

The present study analyzes research trends related to tsunami education and mitigation through bibliometric analyses, and explores the level of contributions of Indonesian researchers in the Scopus database. A total of 1293 documents were identified by this analysis, with 201 originating from Indonesia. The results showed that scientific publications related to tsunami education and mitigation have increased significantly, and that United States has published most of such papers. At the same time, the institution that won a lead role was Tohoku University, in Japan. Three institutions from Indonesia are ranked seventh, fourteenth, and fifteenth, namely the Bandung Institute of Technology, the University of Indonesia, and the University of Gadjah Mada. The most prolific author on this topic is N. Tanaka. Visualization of research trends on tsunami education and mitigation resulted in four clusters: (1) Tsunami waves; (2) Tsunami problems and monitoring; (3) Tsunami early warning systems; (4) Preparedness in dealing with tsunamis, and in the post-tsunami recovery process. The present research can help in the identification of trends related to tsunami education and tsunami impact mitigation, as well as in worldwide development in providing an overview for further study.
