Abstract
The research on structural components includes offshore structures and onshore structures, such as marine risers , which are classified as hybrid marine structures. The demand for lighter structural components utilised as conduits, such as composite marine risers, has led to increased research into the necessity for material development. Having a bibliometric study on composite marine risers is necessary to gain an understanding of the research trends that have been achieved on this innovative subject. An examination of bibliometric data on composite risers is the study’s subject, focusing on the accomplished progress. A methodology for conducting research was devised, and the data retrieval process was carried out utilising academic sourced data. It was conducted by retrieving data from both Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) databases and comparing the data. Then, an initial analysis from the bibliographical review was carried out with a meta-science analysis on composite risers. Google Scholar was also used to conduct some analysis on search keywords. The map visualisation was used to assess the contributions made in the field. Current advancements, geographical activity by countries, authorship records, partnerships, sponsors, connections, and co-occurrences, are all in this comprehensive meta-science investigation with possibilities for future research on composite marine risers.
