Knowledge Structure and Frontier Evolution of Research on Chromitite: A Scientometric Review

Big data analysis can reveal the relevance, hidden patterns, and bursts of activity in data. Therefore, big has recently aroused great interest curiosity among scientists various fields. The powerful organization visualization capabilities CiteSpace software is an effective way to achieve this goal. Chromitite a strategic mineral resource global importance with several industrial applications, including steel manufacturing. Research on chromitite not only had high economic significance, but also important scientific value. An understanding be used obtain insight into processes operating deep within crust mantle. However, no big-data been performed chromitite-related publications; hence, evolution views over time unclear. purpose study was rapidly assess summarize development research field, identify briefly describe current developments. hotspots predict future trends. results co-occurrence network indicate active collaboration researchers, countries institutions which they are based. Hot topics include focus podiform chromitite, origin chromitites, platinum group elements (PGE). main subject containing ultrahigh-pressure minerals, will help elucidate relationship between earth.
