Abstract

Abstract

In the era of concurrent demands for both economic development and ecology preservation， emissions of civil aviation are gradually receiving more and more attention. Among all the monitoring methods for civil aviation emissions， the emission inventory method is undoubtedly an important part. In this study， global bibliometric and visualized analysis were applied to quantitatively analyze 1704 publications related to emission inventory of civil aviation in the Web of Science Core Collection database from 2003 to 2022. The results showed that： 1） over the past two decades， the annual number of publications has increased steadily， indicating an increasing attention on aviation exhaust emission inventories； 2） the United States has dominated in both publication quantity and impact； 3） whether from the distribution of institutions or journals， the United States and Britain possess the highest authority； 4） the mainstream research directions were air quality models， different gaseous pollutants from civil aviation exhaust and their impacts to environment and climate； in the first decade， the research focus was relatively narrow and fragmented， while in the last decade， a large number of interdisciplinary research such as the whole life cycle and biofuels has emerged； 5） with the field’s development， the research hotspots in the field of aviation emission inventories in the coming years are likely to focus on green and sustainable directions， such as carbon emission reduction and sustainable aviation fuels. The research focus in this field is expected to evolve from monitoring individual exhaust pollutants to improving air quality models， and eventually advancing green sustainable aviation. The cooperation among countries， institutions， and research fields will become closer. Compared with some developed countries， the citation rate of China's research results is low currently， which is mainly due to the late start of China's civil aviation exhaust inventory research， less mature technologies， and insufficient research depth. Therefore， China still needs to strengthen the win-win situation and cooperation with foreign institutions.
