Abstract

Research on Ganoderma-based mycoremediation is rapidly evolving as a sustainable approach to environmental remediation. This study aims to map the evolution, productivity, collaboration patters, and thematic development of experimental research on Ganoderma-based mycoremediation using a bibliometric approach. A total of 352 experimental research articles indexed in the Web of Science during the period 2000–2024 were analysed. Bibliometric techniques included publication performance analysis, co-authorship network mapping, and keyword co-occurrence analysis to examine research productivity, citation-based impact, collaboration structures, and thematic clusters. The results reveal a significant increase in publications output after 2015. China emerged as the most productive country, while South Korea and Taiwan showed higher citations-based impact despite lower publication output. Difference between productivity and citation impact at the institutional and author level indicate distinct roles in sustain research continuity a shaping influential direction. Collaboration analysis revealed increasing international cooperation with the existence of intermediary actors who play a role in the diffnodusion of knowledge and thematic mapping identified dominant clusters related to enzymatic degradation, dye decolorization, biosorption, and wastewater treatment, with strong linkages to the Sustainable Development Goals, in particular SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) and SDG 3 (Healthy and Prosperous Living). Overall, the findings highlight research productivity trends, collaboration, and citation-based visibility, providing a structured overview to guide future research in Ganoderma-based mycoremediation.
