Bibliometric Analysis in Soil Stabilization Research: A Focus on Dust Particles and Calcium Lignosulphanate

This study uses bibliometric analysis based on the Web of Science Core Collection database to present an extensive overview of soil stabilization research from 2004 to 2024. Developing an illustrative dataset to support field researchers was the goal. With the use of Excel and VOSviewer, data from 1447 publications were downloaded and categorized. According to the evaluated keywords, the study indicates that research conducted during this time period concentrated on important elements related to soil stabilization, such as sustainable materials, unconfined compressive strength, and soil stabilization itself. Additionally, the study points out gaps in the literature and suggests additional lines of inquiry, including enhancing the processes for applying calcium lignosulphanate, evaluating its long-term effects on soil properties, and investigating possible synergies with other soil stabilizing agents.This bibliometric analysis not only describes the developments in the field but also sets the groundwork for the creation of soil stabilization methods that will satisfy the demands of sustainable and ecologically conscious development. From an engineering and environmental standpoint, it emphasizes the significance of soil stabilization by providing sustainable solutions, better soil quality, lower maintenance costs, and more project stability during construction.
