Abstract

In order to fully understand the overall status and research hotspot of international virtual water research, the literatures of international virtual water research from 1990 to 2016 were analyzed statistically with bibliometric method based on SCIE and SSCI database. It was found that the United States, the Netherlands and Switzerland had the strong research ability. The University of Twente occupied the leading position in the global virtual water research area. Some geographical cooperation characteristics were shown on the international cooperation of the global virtual water research. A certain scale had been found on the virtual water research in China, but there is still a big gap between China and countries of highest level in the world on the impact of research papers. The quality and comprehensive influence of research articles of China still have great potential for improvement.
