Abstract

This study uses the term "Environmental Education" in a scientometric search on the Web of Science database, containing 11,593 documents from 2019 to 2024. The study focuses on the most published articles and their H-index using Histcite software. The most referenced journals include Sustainability, PLos One, and the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. The United States leads the world in publications with 2592 records, followed by the United Kingdom with 1354 and China with 1249. The authors of the most published articles in the field of environmental education research and their H-index, which has created using the Histcite software, are the subject of the study. Zhang.Y has published 23 records in the subject of Environmental Education with H-index of 8, followed by Lee.J. with 22 papers and Bogner.F.X. with 21 papers. The findings highlight gaps in current literature and suggest future research methodologies. The report provides a comprehensive overview of the academic landscape in environmental education research. In conclusion, the majority of publishing houses, research fields, publication languages, and document kinds were covered in this study. Bibliographic coupling of authors, Organization and nations are built using VOS viewer software. We were able to show the networks of authors and organizations working on Environmental Education research from various nations based on that cluster form of data.
