The analysis indicated an upward trend in the number of publications in NCC from 2011 to 2020; carbon emissions, climate change, global warming, greenhouse gases, and carbon dioxide were the key research topics; the top authors were from the United States and the United Kingdom.Since the study depends on information obtained from the Scopus database, any database limitations may have an impact on the results of the study.
