Abstract
Technology, operation and management of sanitary landfills in China draw particular attention as China generated the most municipal solid waste in the world. The paper analyzed the growth and development of landfill research productivity in China in terms of publication output as reflected in science citation index for the period 1997-2012. The study revealed that the output of landfill research in China has rapidly increased over the 16 year. Chinese authors contributed 863 publications out of which 837 were journal articles, 17 reviews, 3 editorial materials, 1 correction and 1 meeting abstract, from 498 institutions. About 7.02 % of publications were contributed by Tongji University, followed by Chinese Academic of Science (5.66 %) and Zhejiang University (4.79 %). That impact factors of the top 20 journals publishing most papers were between 0.30 and 5.23. Leading 20 authors published at least 13 articles per person. The annual share of publications varied from 0.12-20.13 % per year, showed a particularly high growth speed in this field. The share was highest in the year 2012 at 20.13 %. An analysis of the title-words showed that “leachate”, “waste”, “treatment”, “municipal” and “solid”, other than the string word “landfill” were recent major topics of landfill research in China. The results could help researchers understanding about the characteristics of research output and search hot spots of landfill field in China.
