Abstract

Global awareness of environmental protection is growing. The modular method can meet the personalised, complex, and customised needs of sustainable products, which is critical to meet the current environmental environment protection. As a result, experts and scholars in industrial design pay more attention. This paper is a bibliometric analysis of all modularity-related articles published between 1997 and 2020 in the SCOPUS database. The following section of this paper discusses the publication trends in the sustainable-oriented modularity method. During the study period, the bibliometric analysis reveals annual scientific publications, the yearly average number of citations in magazine science, the most frequently locally cited documents published, the most relevant sources, the corresponding author's country, the country's scientific production, and the country's collaboration world chart, among other things. The paper's qualitative analysis section is divided into subject and method detail descriptions of the most frequently cited articles.
