Abstract

A comprehensive assessment and evaluation of research on metallogenic in mafic-ultramafic rocks have yet to be found, which is essential in determining the novelty value and direction of future research. This research aims to determine the development and research opportunities related to metallogenic in mafic-ultramafic rocks using bibliometric methods based on the SCOPUS database, visualized and analyzed using VOSviewer. The results show a total of 915 publications from 1969-2021 with the highest contributing countries being China and Australia, while the Chinese Academy of Sciences is the most productive affiliate. Ore Geology Reviews is the journal with the highest publication, while the most productive author is Mao J. The subject area is dominated by Earth and Planetary Sciences and the few are multidisciplinary, energy, social sciences, chemistry, and mathematics. Recent trends in research topics include petrogenesis, geochemistry, geochronology, and fluid inclusions. Research topics with low frequency include ophiolite complex, ore-forming processes, Cu-Au deposit, Mo-Cu mineralization, Petro-geochemistry, Rb-Sr geochronology, Re-Os analysis, uranium minerals, ilmenite, monazite Sm-Nd isotope, sphene, Sr-Nd-Pb-Hf isotope, zircon U-Pb, modeling, orogenic area, dunite-peridotite-pyroxenite-gabbro-association, and gabbroid.
