Global trends and future prospects of e-waste research: a bibliometric analysis
Abstract
Electronic waste (e-waste) has been widely studied by scholars all over the world, but the research topics and development trends in this field are still unclear. This study aimed to explore the status quo, hot topics, and future prospects in the field of e-waste. Data of publications were downloaded from the Web of Science Core Collection. We used CiteSpace V, Histcite, and VOSviewer to analyze literature information. A total of 2800 papers in e-waste research were identified, and the number of publications increased rapidly after 2004. Six thousand five hundred seventy-three authors participated in the e-waste research, but 70.01% of the authors published only 1 article. The most productive country in this field was China (1146 publications), and the most productive institution was the Chinese Academy of Sciences (370 publications). The Waste Management (225 publications) was the most productive journal, and Environment Science & Technology (9704 co-citations) was the most co-cited journal. The main hot topics in e-waste field were management and recycling of e-waste in developing countries, health risk assessment after exposure to organic pollutants, degradation and recovery of waste metal materials, and impact of heavy metals on children's health. The frontier topic was degradation.

Electronic waste arising from discarded electronics and electrical appliances is one of the fastest growing categories of waste in both size and toxicity.
“Electronic waste (e-waste) arising from discarded electronics and electrical appliances, such as refrigerators, washing machines, TVs, mobile phones, tablets, and computers is one of the fastest growing categories of waste in both size and toxicity (Gao et al., 2019; Singh et al., 2019).”

“Electronic waste (e-waste) arising from discarded electronics and electrical appliances, such as refrigerators, washing machines, TVs, mobile phones, tablets, and computers is one of the fastest growing categories of waste in both size and toxicity (Gao et al., 2019; Singh et al., 2019).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
