| Summary: | Design/Methodology/Approach: The study has a justified quantitative approach in the bibliometric methods and the social networks analysis. The Web of Science database allowed to recover the scientific production on Risks and Climate. Primary indicators are calculated, and multivariate representations of the domain are made. Results/Discussion: Increases in scientific output were identified in 2006 and 2008, where the variation rate shows its highest expression. There is high productivity and collaboration in the United States, England and Australia respectively, and the participation of Latin American countries in the scientific production of the subject was identified. James D. Ford and Tristan Pearce are the authors with the largest number of collaborative works (13 articles) on the topics of climate change in the Canadian Arctic and adaptation of the Eskimos. Environmental Sciences and Ecology (Environmental Science & Ecology) predominate in thematic categories. The most influential journals have an impact factor greater than 4. The most cited author is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the highly cited journals were: Climatic Change and Global Environmental Change-Human and Policy Dimensions. Conclusions: Domain analysis reveals patterns that cannot be observed with the naked eye in the thinking and language of professional groups. Bibliometrics is the most widespread and used approach. The study allowed us to carry out an in depth analysis of the topic Risk and Climate, identifying the features that characterize it in the scientific production indexed in the Web of Science. Originality/Value: It is a topic that worries the scientific community worldwide, based on the growing increase in articles on the subject. The study is a reference for future research on risks and climate. It meets a demand from the Coastal Ecosystem Research Center of Ciego de Ávila in Cuba, which needed to know the scientific production on this topic for its research and scientific development. |
