Abstract:
The Northern Sea Route (NSR) has gradually become viable because of sea ice melting in the Artic. The purpose of this study is to analyze the trends in research about the NSR by applying a social network analysis. By collecting keywords from academic papers on the NSR, a network of keywords and two indexes (degree centrality and betweenness centrality) are accessed and analyzed. Throughout all periods, the issue of climate change causing the ice in the Arctic to melt has been a consideration for many scholars. In addition, “national security” and “oil exploitation” were important keywords in the first period. In the second period (20XX–20XX), in addition to words related to the environment, such as “sea ice” and “climate change,” the term “ocean transport” appears and becomes a central topic of research. This paper shows the importance of the NSR, reviews the main research topics involving the NSR, and informs researchers and authorities as to the trends in academic research on the NSR.
