AB  - To understand the history and progress of
hydropower research, it was necessary to gather relevant
information on the records of publications covering the
years 2007-2016, through the Web of Science tool. Later,
along with the HitsCite software, this information was
used to analyze annual yields, countries, journals and
institutions that showed interest in publishing on this
subject, as well as the number of times these publications
were cited. The results suggested that hydroelectric
energy research has increased significantly over the past
ten years. The country with the highest research output
was China, followed by the United States, concluding that
those who showed the most significant interest in
hydroelectric energy research were developed countries,
these countries also stood out for having a high value of
TLCS (Total Local Citation Score) indicator that allows
knowing the values of total score of citations by location.
Furthermore, it should be noted that developed countries
have more research advantages in this field than other
countries. The first five institutions with the highest
research results were Chinese where the first place was
occupied by the Chinese Academy of Science. The
journals highlighted for publishing articles in this area
were Wasserwirtschaft and renewable and sustainable
energy reviews while the journals with the highest FTAs
were advances in water resources and computers and
operations research.
