Res. Metr.

The number of publications and citations on polar polynya has increased 17.28 and 11.22% annually since the 1990s, respectively, and those numbers for Antarctic polynya have surpassed that of the Arctic polynya since 2014. Oceanography, geosciences multidisciplinary, and environmental sciences were the top 3 scientific categories in the Arctic and Antarctic polynya research field. Nevertheless, ecology and meteorology are gaining ground in the Arctic and the Antarctic recently. The Journal of Geophysical Research-Oceans accommodated most publications for both polar regions, followed by Deep-Sea Research Part II-Topical Studies in Oceanography and Polar Biology. The Continental Shelf Research and Ocean Modeling were favored journals in Arctic and Antarctic polynya research, respectively. The USA dominated the polar polynya study field with 31.74%\/43.60% publications on the Arctic\/Antarctic polynya research, followed by Canada (40.23%\/4.32%) and Germany (17.21%\/11.22%). Besides, Australia occupied the second most popular position in the Antarctic polynya research. The keywords analysis concluded that the polynya topics that generated the most interest were altered from model to climate change in the Arctic and ocean water and glacier in the Antarctic over time. This study gives a summary of the polar polynya scientific field through bibliometric analysis which may provide reference for future research.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/frma.2023.1100845","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,16]],"date-time":"2023-03-16T07:12:53Z","timestamp":1678950773000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Bibliometric analysis of studies of the Arctic and Antarctic polynya"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Tianyu","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Haiyi","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Mohammed","family":"Shokr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Fengming","family":"Hui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Xiao","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"181","DOI":"10.1017\/aog.2020.31","article-title":"Sea-ice production and air\/ice\/ocean\/biogeochemistry interactions in the Ross Sea during the PIPERS 2017 autumn field campaign","volume":"61","author":"Ackley","year":"2020","journal-title":"Ann.
