This scientometric study investigates global research productivity and trends in Vibration Energy and Harvesting from 2015 to 2024, comprehensively analysing the field's growth, collaboration patterns, and academic impact. The study provides insightful analysis by drawing on bibliometric data from 3,900 publications indexed across 965 sources and identifies an annual growth rate of 2.01% and an average of 15.56 citations per document. The dataset includes diverse document types, with journal articles (2,601) and conference papers (1,102) contributing significantly. An analysis of keywords reveals 6,485 author-defined keywords and 12,646 enhanced terms through co-occurrence analysis. Collaborative research emerges as a defining field feature, with an average of 4.25 co-authors per document and 20.08% international co-authorship. Multi-authored works dominate the output, while single-authored documents account for only 2.43% of total publications. Using visualisation tools like VOSviewer, researchers evaluated research trends, facilitating the exploration of co-occurrence and citation metrics. This study highlights key trends, including a steady rise in scholarly activity, robust international collaborations, and significant contributions from highly cited research. These findings offer valuable insights into the dynamic progression of Vibration Energy and Harvesting research, emphasising its growing impact and the importance of collaborative, multidisciplinary approaches.
