Much efforts have been made in the area of energy security in recent years, but due to its wide scope, it is necessary to review relevant knowledge activities and to analyze the state of knowledge of the field of energy security measurement. The purpose of this article is to present a comprehensive map of knowledge in the field of energy security. For this reason, many documents and articles have been collected during the period 2002–2019 using 7 large and reputable scientific databases as well as 53 different journals, 90% white Q1 quality. There is employed meta-synthesis, scientometrics and network analysis. In the initial survey stage where 1290 articles were found, after analyzing the content using meta-synthesis, 240 scientific articles related to energy security were identified. Then, the following 14 key questions were addressed such as the main conceptual models, processes, and concept structures (concept map). The VOSviewer and Gephi software are also used to explain the conceptual structure (concept map), hot map, co-occurrence map between keywords and their categorization. After Energy Security (and its subsets), the issues of Renewable Energy Security and Energy Supply Security stand in top ranks. The most cited article in this area is the 2006 “Ensuring energy security” article by Yergin on Energy Security. As many as 58 people have published at least two articles, Sovacool with fifteen articles is on the top author with the most published articles in this field. During the evaluation of the articles, 34 conceptual models and 104 quantitative and qualitative methods were found, which illustrate the wide scope of energy security. By examining the coherent vocabulary map in the field of energy security, it can be said that the most important dimensions of energy security include technology, trade, acceptability, productivity, diversity, equity, availability, governance and efficiency. |
