Mapping retrieval method for academic publications in the field of aerospace technology safety

The article presents result of the development and application of the Mapping retrieval method. The method is based on the construction, location in two-dimensional space and the analysis of the citation graph, which found in bibliographic databases. The method allows increase the speed and quality of the scientific research, as well as to review publications on a given topic. It is possible to identify the most authoritative co-authors communities in the field of topics of interest, as well as identify trends and predict the development of the topic. In addition, the Mapping retrieval method allows finding academic publications on related interdisciplinary research without known keywords that are needed for traditional text retrieval methods. The method is demonstrated by the example of constructing and analyzing the retrieval map in the field of safety of aerospace technologies, which made it possible to identify and track the development of thematic clusters. As a result of a mapping retrieval, a number of the most interesting academic publications were identified. Their brief review is presented in the article
