Rapid development of environment science and ecology has witnessed the emerging of economical tools applying to environmental issues, especially environment damage assessment. This study applied bibliometrics tools to the environment damage assessment methods based on on-line SCI-E and SSCI from 2007 to 2016, and described the bibliometric characteristics including publications number, journals, and disciplines. Moreover, the concept of social network was introduced into bibliometrics analysis, and the collaboration relationship network of countries, authors, and institutions are generated. Furthermore, frequency analysis of keywords revealed five most widely used methods in environment damage assessment, including market valuation, contingent valuation method, choice experiment method, travel cost method, and hedonic price method, which are specifically reviewed on developing trend, economic basis, and operating process.
