Abstract
Irrigation and Drainage (IRD) is a prestigious peer-reviewed journal with an international reputation and publishes technical papers on all scientific, engineering, environmental and socio-economic issues associated with irrigation, drainage and flood management. During the past 15 years from 2010 to 2024, 1517 papers were published in the journal. We analysed all these articles using bibliometric techniques to examine the impact of the journal's publications, the most productive and influential authors, and their contributions to the field of irrigation, drainage and flood management. Co-authorship among the top authors, co-occurrences of the topics, cocitations of the journals, bibliographic coupling of the authors and affiliated institutes and countries were analysed by applying network analysis techniques via VOSviewer software. The advancements in research during the last 15 years are also critically highlighted to understand recent developments in the field of irrigation, drainage and flood management. Future directions are also proposed in this review and might provide guidance for future research on irrigation, drainage and flood management.
期刊介绍:
Human intervention in the control of water for sustainable agricultural development involves the application of technology and management approaches to: (i) provide the appropriate quantities of water when it is needed by the crops, (ii) prevent salinisation and water-logging of the root zone, (iii) protect land from flooding, and (iv) maximise the beneficial use of water by appropriate allocation, conservation and reuse. All this has to be achieved within a framework of economic, social and environmental constraints. The Journal, therefore, covers a wide range of subjects, advancement in which, through high quality papers in the Journal, will make a significant contribution to the enormous task of satisfying the needs of the world’s ever-increasing population. The Journal also publishes book reviews.
