Over the years, many protests and treatises have been developed to promote disarmament and non-proliferation of these weapons. Scientometrics is defined as a branch of the general “science of science” that covers quantitative methods to analyze research process. Although research on nuclear weapons is increasing rapidly, there has been little use of scientometric approaches on the referred topic. Within this framework, this study seeks to address the global trends on 5038 nuclear weapons-related articles from 1946 to 2021, extracted from the Web of Science(WoS) Core Collection database and complemented with data obtained through Scopus APIs, by drawing on scientometric analysis and methods. The analysis was performed on a main authors’ level and their affiliation at the time of publication of the article. The study of the worldwide patterns of academic literature related to nuclear weapons can assist researchers of various knowledge areas in identifying the main trends in the field and possibly deepen the study of some of them. In particular, the findings identify 1990 as the year when the production of scientific literature on nuclear weapons begins to grow more, the United States as the most contributing country in the field, Social Sciences as the most popular category, as well as provide other useful insights on the quantity, quality, and impact of research “elements” like authors, affiliations, sources, and keywords.Damásio, Bruno Miguel PintoMendonça, Sandro Miguel FerreiraRUNMestre, Ana Luísa Silva Cruz Guerreiro2023-02-02T10:58:43Z2023-01-232023-01-23T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/148532TID:203210565enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-03-11T05:30:09Zoai:run.unl.pt:10362/148532Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:53:24.080747Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
