<b>Biodiversity Conservation Informatics under Anthropogenic Climate Change: An Open and FAIR Bibliometric Review</b>

643 publications from 1993 to 2024 were analyzed in a bibliometric review of informatics applications in biodiversity conservation under anthropogenic climate change. Olga Kupika conducted this study, which identifies research trends, collaboration networks, and thematic areas using data from the Scopus database. The analysis reveals a rapid increase in publications over the last decade.

Use Cases

• Analyze publication trends over time using the 1993-2024 temporal coverage and annual publication counts.
• Map co-authorship networks using author affiliation and collaboration data to identify key research clusters.
• Identify dominant research themes through keyword co-occurrence analysis of terms like 'species distribution modeling' and 'ecological informatics'.
• Assess geographic representation in research output by analyzing country-level contributions from the author affiliation data.

Strengths

• Analysis of 643 publications provides a substantive sample of the research field.
• Covers a 31-year time range (1993-2024), enabling longitudinal trend analysis.
• Uses the authoritative Scopus database for publication sourcing.
• FAIR-aligned and includes multiple open data formats (CSV, BIB, RIS).

Limitations

• The 10.9 MB size indicates a small dataset, primarily containing metadata and analysis outputs, not raw research data.
• Geographic bias is noted, with limited contributions from Africa identified in the analysis.
• The dataset is a review of publications, not primary observational or experimental data, limiting direct application in ecological modeling.
