A Bibliometric Analysis of Fractional Equations and Caputo Derivatives in Differential Equations

Abstract

This paper describes a bibliometric analysis of publications on fractional equations and Caputo derivatives in the context of differential equations. The data was gathered from the Scopus databases, and a bibliographic database was created for analysis after filtering relevant journal articles. To perform co-authorship, keyword co-occurrence, and citation network analysis, the authors used software tools such as VOSviewer and Harzing's publish or perish. The research impact using bibliometric indicators such as the h-index, and citation counts have been accessed. Overall, the analysis provided insights into collaboration and citation patterns, research themes, and the impact of fractional equations publications and Caputo derivatives in differential equations.
