What is it about?

The research on natural-fiber-reinforced composites (NFRC) has been evolving rapidly with many academic publications in recent decades for their potential applications in automotive, textiles, furniture, healthcare, biofuel sectors, and so on. Hence, an attempt is made to provide an overview of NFRC literature by employing novel scientometric and network analysis tools to examine 1143 articles extracted from Scopus database between 2010 and 2022. The novelty in the manuscript that is scientometric and network analysis of different disciplines and, tracking the latest developments would pull of great interest for plenty of much researcher and scholar because today’s some scientific output just focuses on interest, effort, and attention of policy-makers. Results obtained through this work describe the real impact of the research published till date and its usage; it also gives directions for new researchers who wish to perform research on NFRC.

Perspectives

I hope this article makes what people might think is a boring, slightly abstract area like health economics and measuring things like health, kind of interesting and maybe even exciting. Because the way we spend money on health and social care is not just a problem for politicians, managers and researchers to worry about - it is an issue that touches every single human being on this planet in one way or another. More than anything else, and if nothing else, I hope you find this article thought-provoking.
