doi:10.11924/j.issn.1000-6850.casb15030024

Abstract

Abstract: Non-point source (NPS) pollution has become a major factor restricting the sustainable development in China. In order to identify the frontier and hot issues of current research, the author used bibliometric tool named Histcite to analyze the current research situation of NPS pollution based on ISI Web of science database. The results showed that the researches on NPS pollution had been carried out since 1973 and the quantity of articles presented an increasing trend. The international institutions, especially in the United States and the United Kingdom, had great influences, the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Beijing Normal University were the main research teams in China. The high quality articles and journals were primarily from USA and Europe, while, there were few creative achievements, key findings, research teams with international influence and core authors in China. In addition, bacterial contamination, climate change, the control of NPS pollution and heavy-metals were the hot issues in this field.
