Abstract

Based on the online version of SCI-E and SSCI databases, this paper employed bibliometrics method to analyse the scientific publications on energy poverty from 1981 to 2013. By analysing the basic characteristics of energy poverty publications, this paper found energy poverty is an interdisciplinary subject, and identified the most productive journals, authors and institutions, the most cited publications and the collaboration relationship among authors, institutions and countries. By frequency analysis of keywords, five hot research topics of energy poverty were summarised. They were fuel access, energy efficiency, physical health, electrification and income poverty. This paper compared the academic research level of the main countries by assessment model, and found that the academic research level on energy poverty of developed countries was much higher than that of developing countries, and England had the total predominance in this field.
