Figure 3b shows key word frequency over time. Like co-occurrence network map, the term Extremophiles with the highest increase, reaches a cumulative frequency by 2023. As the second most frequently used term, Astrobiology is a trend topic. The term ‘habitability’ is another popular keyword that has increased over the years. Mars is frequently associated with extremophile habitability studies. The term ‘Biological Signatures’ is also on the rise.-- International Journal of Astrobiology

Navigating Life In The Extremes: A Bibliometric Exploration Of Extremophiles And Astrobiology

by Keith CowingDecember 7, 2025

Bibliometric analysis reveals significant research trends and highlights collaborations among institutions and countries within extremophiles and astrobiology.

Co-occurrence network map of keywords in the global scientific literature on astrobiology. The size of each keyword in the figure is directly proportional to the number of times it appears in the analyzed documents. Colors indicate clusters to which keywords are uniquely assigned based on their interrelatedness.
