Clustering in Vehicular Ad Hoc Network: A Bibliometric Analysis
摘要
Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) are gaining popularity among academic institutions and industrial fields. The research area of VANET captivates a significant amount of curiosity from authors across the globe. Nonetheless, strong scientific contributions have been presumed through VANETs to explore the clustering concept with VANETs. For this reason, it is essential to outline the current state of study in this discipline. Since 2010, the number of research articles has grown exponentially; the assessment through a tool is needed for authors to comprehend the existing findings and conclusions throughout this field. Using different factors, this article analyzes the social standing of research developments in the discipline of “Clustering in Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks” from 2010 to October 2024 with the help of bibliometric analysis. Since 2024, 17,461 publications have been connected well with the VANETs realm, which was retrieved first from the Scopus database (in BibTeX format). Furthermore, 377 of the collection's articles pertain to the clustering techniques within VANETs. To achieve the best result, the bibliometric tool ‘R-Tool’ using ‘Biblioshiny’ generates and visualizes the specialized area's bibliometric connectivity. Also, this article would provide a visual representation of the scientific data gathered from various authors, countries, and connections to assist authors in identifying the clustering field in the VANETs.
