Abstract
At the current stage of global economic development, international relations are experiencing turbulence due to geopolitical shifts in Europe and Southwest Asia. In this context, BRICS is emerging as a leading force among global economic blocs. A review of articles on BRICS published between 2015 and 2024 in journals indexed on the DIMENSIONS platform revealed a gap in research that systematically analyzes trends and identifies patterns in this field. The number of publications has shown a linear increase over the years, with a significant surge in studies focused on geopolitics and political science after mid-2022. Bibliometric analysis of this topic has led to several key observations, which are presented below. Key bibliographic elements are fully recorded, ensuring excellent data quality. The most critical deficiencies are found in Cited References, Language, and Science Categories. The most significant cluster of terms connected to the analysis is concentrated on sustainable development. the second cluster highlight the geographical and environmental dimensions of the field with focus on the impact of human activity and climate change in terms of rapidly developing economies of the bloc countries in question. the scientific research articles are provided by china, India, Pakistan, South Africa, and Turkey where China (marked as the most cited country and as the central hub in the scientific collaboration network) and india (marked as the second most cited country) perform the most fruitful scientific collaboration in the terms of research the BRICS bloc. A significant part of the research is aimed at solving problems and development in the field of ecology and finding solutions to environmental pollution problems.
