The ecological footprint is an indicator of environmental impact and has become a significant research topic in recent years. It plays an important role in raising awareness about minimizing environmental problems by determining the extent of damage to the ecosystem. The ecological footprint is a valuable tool for researchers to assess the level of environmental damage and identify its causes, with the ultimate goal of promoting sustainability. This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of scientific publications on the ecological footprint in the international arena.
The study is descriptive and employs the scanning method. The researchers searched for studies published between 2010 and 2021 using the key concept of 'Ecological footprint' in the database. The bibliometric characteristics of 2748 publications scanned in the Web of Science database were determined. The research data were analyzed based on the number of publications per year and country, the most productive authors and journals, authors' h-indexes, most cited authors and journals, distributions by most cited references, and some relationships between these variables. The data reveal the interdisciplinary importance of the subject.
