Abstract

The science of quantum dots has evolved rapidly in recent years. A quantitative and comprehensive examination of the research domain is required to identify research trends and directions in the field. This work, a systematic review of 4176 scientific articles published in the Web of Science database between 2014 and 2023, results from collaborative efforts. The results, based on two citation analysis methods- bibliographic coupling and cited reference method- identify some of the most active and influential documents, authors, countries, cited references, and keywords in the field. The study reveals rankings, collaboration networks, and clusters of contributions to the literature. The study found that the most bibliographic coupling documents were Lim, 2015, and the countries with the most publications and collaborations have been China and the USA. Specifically, the fourth cluster of authors is linked with each cluster, and the most frequently cited reference is Murray CB, 1993, Journal of the American Chemical Society VII5, P8706. Quantum dots stand out prominently, ranking second in occurrences with 1864 mentions and relative influence. This research is a testament to the collaborative nature of scientific inquiry in understanding the current state and future directions of quantum dots research.
