Abstract

The increasing diffusion of Information Communication Technologies (ICT) in the domain of disaster management depicts the catalyzed efforts and interests of nations for achieving sustainable disaster-related solutions. This momentum has resulted in the increased growth of research production, and interest of various communities, in the domain of ICT-based disaster management. Henceforth, the profound popularity of this domain requires a quantitative analysis to understand the evolution, development, and status quo of the domain. This paper presents a decade long bibliometric analysis of the ICT-based disaster management domain by analyzing the Scopus indexed research documents published during the period 2009–2018. The study explores the various bibliometric patterns: publication, citation, and keyword occurrence, and visualizes the core bibliometric aspects, of the research conducted in the domain. This study helps in understanding the development, nature, social relevance, and impact of the domain, and providing a platform for deciding future agendas and roadmap for the interested communities and nations.
