Abstract
This bibliometric analysis provides the first overview of the literature on emerging contaminants in coastal waters.
Bibexcel, Microsoft Excel, VOSviewer and the bibliometix R package software were used for bibliometric
analysis and science mapping. 556 publications, published between 1986 and 2022, were retrieved from the Web
of Science (WoS) database. The results showed that this field of research follows Price's law of exponential
growth and has exploded since 2001. Authors, journals and institutions followed Lotka's law, and Price's index
(43.4 %) showed that the field is far from being obsolete. The most influential institution is the Chinese Academy
of Sciences, while authors from China, USA, Japan and Singapore have the most publications and international
co-authorships. The leading journal is Marine Pollution Bulletin, with a focus on Environmental Science WoS category.
Hot research areas focus on risk assessment of PCBs, organochlorine compounds and personal care products
in surface water and wastewater.
