And the Trade Wars rise, and the Energy Security Decline

Short bibliometrics analysis to illustrate the hypothesis: authors decline attention on “Energy Security” theme and focus on “Trade Wars” topic. Sanctions are the specific type of trade wars. When the trade wars start, the topic “Energy Security assessment” lost authors attention even more then “Energy Security”.

You just need to meet more hot challenges — the trade wars.

Some figures to illustrate the hypothesis

Sanctions topic (a lot of publications) could begin to reduce attention to energy security assessment theme (not so much publications) in 2016. The topic “Trade Wars” rise in 2018 could reduce attention to energy security assessment theme. Some lag in one year could be explain by lag in publishing prosses.
