Strategic thematic map of research on heavy metal remediation using white rot fungi. It represents the conceptual evolution of the topic by distributing the keywords in different themes/quadrants based on the centrality (horizontal x-axis) and density (vertical y-axis). Here, centrality represents the frequency of linkages between different clusters (themes), whereas density represents the frequency of internal links within a cluster (theme). The quadrants of the thematic map have intuitive importance. They are named motor themes (1st upper right), niche themes (2nd upper left), emerging or disappearing themes (3rd lower left), and basic themes (4th lower right) in an anti-clockwise manner (data source: Web of Science Core Collection 2024).
