ABSTRACT

Constructed wetlands is an eco- friendly, green wastewater treatment technology which is an effective substitute to conventional wastewater treatment systems in recent years. The scientometric analysis was conducted in the field of constructed during the years 1998–2017 based on the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-Expanded) of Web of Science (WOS)wetlands to investigate its progress and future research trends Co-author analysis, co-citation analysis was conducted. Vymazal J (citation = 992) was the most cited author. The top-ranked journal by citation counts was Ecological Engineering (citation =2521)). Environmental Sciences Ecology (2711 articles) is the top most research area with highest publications. The results of the study helps in developing a comprehensive understanding of constructed wetlands research and further establishes the future research directions in the field of environment to investigate its progress and future research trends.
