Abstract
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.
