► Greenhouse gases such as CO2, CFCS, and CH4 are considered the primary causes of global warming. ► Study to conduct a bibliometric analysis on literature published in SCI-listed periodicals about CO2 reduction trends. ► In the 855 articles published in 355 journals of 102 subject categories, 3177 authors were from 56 countries. The objective of this study is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the literature regarding CO2 reduction trends published in the Science Citation Index-listed periodicals from 1999 to 2009. These documents were obtained by subscription from the Information Science Institute (ISI) Web of Science, Philadelphia, PA, USA. A total of 3,177 authors from 56 different countries wrote 855 articles published in 355 journals in 102 subject categories. Of these, the most titles were found in Abstracts of Papers of the American Chemical Society (3.9%). The most frequently cited paper was “Chemical CO2 fixation: Cr(III) salen complexes as highly efficient catalysts for the coupling of CO2 and epoxides”, and the same paper contained the most often-used keyword.
