Abstract
The increasing scarcity of resources and the escalating complexity
of reality make the fairness ensuring in energy activities even more
difficult. In this context, energy justice, as an emerging cross-field,
tries to provide solutions based on practical problems. In the face of
the surge of energy justice publications, it is necessary to review
them in time, so that we can comprehend the significant achievements
and the research directions worthy of further exploration.
With the help of visualization tools, this paper conducts a comprehensive
quantitative analysis of 1,910 energy justice publications.
Based on the results, we reach the following main conclusions: (1)
The energy justice publications have only emerged rapidly in recent
years; (2) The research hotspots are closely related to the renewable
energy transition; (3) The distribution of prominent contributors in
this field is relatively concentrated. The main contribution of this
study is to comprehensively display the essential characteristics of
the literature in this field, such as the evolutions of research themes
and the performances of research contributors in different dimensions,
so as to provide readers with an effective way to understand
the knowledge structure in this field, and help related researchers
rationally examine the existing results.
