Landslides are generated by natural causes and by human action, causing various geomorphological changes as well as physical and socioeconomic loss of the environment and human life. The study, characterization and implementation of techniques are essential to reduce land vulnerability, different socioeconomic sector susceptibility and actions to guarantee better slope stability with a significant positive impact on society. The aim of this work is the bibliometric analysis of the different types of landslides that the United States Geological Survey (USGS) emphasizes, through the SCOPUS database and the VOSviewer software version 1.6.17, for the analysis of their structure, scientific production, and the close relationship with several scientific fields and its trends. The methodology focuses on: (i) search criteria; (ii) data extraction and cleaning; (iii) generation of graphs and bibliometric mapping; and (iv) analysis of results and possible trends. The study and analysis of landslides are in a period of exponential growth, focusing mainly on techniques and solutions for the stabilization, prevention, and categorization of the most susceptible hillslope sectors. Therefore, this research field has the full collaboration of various authors and places a significant focus on the conceptual evolution of the landslide science.
滑坡是由自然原因和人为活动引起的，会导致各种地貌变化，以及环境和人类生命的物质和社会经济损失。研究、描述和实施技术对于降低土地脆弱性、不同社会经济部门的易感性以及采取行动以确保更好的边坡稳定性至关重要，这对社会有重大积极影响。本工作的目的是通过 SCOPUS 数据库和 VOSviewer 软件版本 1.6.17 对美国地质调查局 (USGS) 强调的不同类型的滑坡进行文献计量分析，以分析其结构、科学产出以及与多个科学领域的密切关系及其趋势。该方法侧重于：（i）搜索标准；（ii）数据提取和清理；（iii）图形和文献计量制图的生成；以及（iv）结果和可能趋势的分析。滑坡的研究和分析处于指数增长阶段，主要侧重于稳定、预防和分类最易受影响的山坡部分的技术和解决方案。因此，该研究领域得到了各个作者的全力合作，并高度关注滑坡科学的概念演变。
