They impact the society on a massive scale and result in significant damages. To reduce the impact of floods, society needs to keep benefiting from the latest technological innovations. Drones equipped with sensors and latest algorithms (e.g., computer vision and deep learning) have emerged as a potential platform which may be useful for flood monitoring, mapping and detection activities in a more efficient way than current practice. To better understand the scope and recent trends in the domain of drones for flood management, we performed a detailed bibliometric analysis. The intent of performing the bibliometric analysis waws to highlight the important research trends, co-occurrence relationships and patterns to inform the new researchers in this domain. The bibliometric analysis was performed in terms of performance analysis (i.e., publication statistics, citations statistics, top publishing countries, top publishing journals, top publishing institutions, top publishers and top Web of Science (WoS) categories) and science mapping (i.e., citations by country, citations by journals, keyword co-occurrences, co-authorship, co-citations and bibliographic coupling) for a total of 569 records extracted from WoS for the duration 2000\u20132022. The VOSviewer open source tool has been used for generating the bibliographic network maps. Subjective discussions of the results explain the obtained trends from the bibliometric analysis. In the end, a detailed review of top 28 most recent publications was performed and subjected to process-driven analysis in the context of flood management. The potential active areas of research were also identified for future research in regard to the use of drones for flood monitoring, mapping and detection activities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/drones7010032","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,2]],"date-time":"2023-01-02T03:00:59Z","timestamp":1672628459000},"page":"32","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":80,"title":["Drones for Flood Monitoring, Mapping and Detection: A Bibliometric Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"7","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0894-0489","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Umair","family":"Iqbal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"SMART Infrastructure Facility, University of Wollongong, Wollongong 2500, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6918-2293","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muhammad Zain Bin","family":"Riaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Independent Researcher, Sydney 2000, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4243-2277","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jiahong","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SMART Infrastructure Facility, University of Wollongong, Wollongong 2500, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7800-5309","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Johan","family":"Barthelemy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NVIDIA, Santa Clara, CA 95051, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6151-6228","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pascal","family":"Perez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian Urban Research Infrastructure Network (AURIN), University of Melbourne, Melbourne 3000, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"102030","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijdrr.2020.102030","article-title":"How computer vision can facilitate flood management: A systematic review","volume":"53","author":"Iqbal","year":"2021","journal-title":"Int.
