Global research output of green chemistry research: a scientometrics study

Abstract: Green or sustainable chemistry, is an area of science focused primarily on development of products and processes to reduce the use and generation of hazardous materials. This paper presents a survey on 15643 articles published on Scopus database over the period 1990-2019. The study uses a multi criteria decision making (MCDM) technique named “The Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS)” to rank the 20 countries that are responsible for publication of 14870 articles. The study uses three criteria; namely h-index, I-100 and the highest cited article for ranking different countries. The results indicate that India with 2655 articles was considered the first country followed by the United States with 2367, Germany with 611 and United Kingdom with 693 articles.
