Evolution of disaster preparedness studies: A bibliometric approach to exploring research trends and directions.
Article in Jamba (Potchefstroom, South Africa), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This study examined trends in disaster preparedness literature, identified key current issues, and discovered future research avenues. This research adopts bibliometric analysis, VOSviewer 16.20 version and Biblioshiny. The results indicated some notable findings related to the development of disaster preparedness studies. This study successfully identified the most prominent trends in the literature of disaster preparedness, including the most commonly discussed and collaborative work among researchers in this discipline through the bibliometric approach. This research also highlighted that there has been a shifting focus in disaster preparedness studies over time, with an emphasis on aspects such as disaster risk mitigation and disaster risk reduction advocacy. In addition, this study seeks to identify the gaps in the research that has already been undertaken and provide possible issues for future research to fill these gaps and enhance the understanding of disaster preparedness. Because of the comprehensive nature of bibliometric analysis, this study could help scholars gain a broad view of relevant issues, while identifying prominent publications that are worthy of reference. The analysis provides insights into developments and innovations in disaster preparedness studies and identifies research gaps that require further exploration. Contribution: This study reveals trends and gaps and provides possible issues for future research in disaster preparedness, providing essential guideposts for future research and policy.
