Higher education is one of the most critical educational stages in a country. Most experts in various fields become proficient through higher education. Therefore, higher education providers or colleges should improve their education quality continuously. One of the ways to improve their quality is by college excellence mapping. This paper uses data retrieved from Scopus for the observation period from 2014 to 2018. Furthermore, to identify the most productive and influential institutes and higher education. As a center of education, as well as the research center, one that can be used as a mapping base is scientific publication. In this study, the excellence that is want to be seen refers to RPJPN 2005-2025 and RPJMN 2015- 2019 and mapping based on the journal in SCOPUS 2014-2018, which is focused on Disaster. Results from this study concluded that 94.2 % (211) of 224 universities published journals indexed Scopus on range 1-42 journal publications within 5 years.

Progress in Disaster Science, 2020

Funders, governments, stakeholders and end-users expect to see tangible evidence that an investment in research is a worthy use of resources. Research has impact if it makes a demonstrable contribution to the economy, society, culture, public policy, health, the environment, or quality of life, beyond academia. This paper reviews frameworks that assess the impact of research and considers their usefulness in the conceptualisation and measurement of research impact in the disaster domain. Frameworks demonstrate impact through attribution, measurement and quantification of academic, social, and economic impacts in the short, medium and long term. While there is no specific framework in the hazard domain, adaptation of the "pathways to research impact" tool created by Cruz Rivera et al. (2017) provides a well-considered basis for assessing disaster research impact.

Background: Accurate and timely information plays an important role in disaster preparedness and this information is partly obtained through research and scientific articles. This study aimed to evaluate the publication status of scientific articles about disasters and accidents in Iranian Medical Journals from 2010 to 2015. Materials and Methods: All Persian articles on the subject of natural disasters; safety; occupational, road, or home accidents, burns, medical errors, related disasters, and emergencies were extracted. The relevant data were collected using a researcher-made checklist through the survey of selected articles. Results: The results obtained from 36341 articles out of 156 journals published by 47 medical universities showed that 599(1.6%) articles were related to emergencies, disasters, and accidents, in which 30(0.08%) articles were about natural disasters and 569(1.5%) papers were about man-made accidents. Conclusion: Although, there were scientific articles dedicated to emergencies, disasters and accidents, such topics were limited. Therefore, it seems necessary to take appropriate measures aimed at greater attention to the needs of national and regional medical scientists.

Natural disasters have increased both in frequency and severity, but research related to their effects on the financial market has not. Through a bibliometric approach, we seek to examine the current state and trend of scientific research related to the financial effects of natural disasters. We find evidence that, the Paris Agreement in 2014 and COVID-19 in 2020, have boosted the growth of research of this type. However, if we consider the multiplier effect of climate change on natural disasters, it could be that this growth is insufficient, therefore, it is urgent to maintain it, without forgetting the deepening of this type of research. This could provide guidance in the creation of more and better financial tools to face these future natural disasters.

Each of these Handbooks survey the field in a critical manner, evaluating theoretical models in light of the best available empirical evidence. Distinctively sociological approaches are highlighted by means of explicit comparison to perspectives characterizing related disciplines such as psychology, psychiatry, and anthropology. These seminal works seek to record where the field has been, to identify its current location and to plot its course for the future.

This study is the bibliometric analysis of research publications that focus on highlighting the inter linkages between disaster management and laws. The main objectives of the study are to determine the frequency of such publications and also to establish that inter linkages between disaster management and law have not received enough attention from the researchers. The data was collected from the Scopus database using VOSviewer software. Literatures written from 2000 to 2020 were perused. The study consisted of a total of 1649 documents which are classified into articles, letters, editorials conference papers, and reviews. Data collected is analyzed and presented using tables, charts, and graphs. The study revealed that not enough legal research is being conducted in connection with disaster management. This has also led to the under-development of the field of "disaster law". In the present pandemic crisis breeding several human disasters, it is also recommended that disaster-prone economies should fund and encourage such research.

magnitude-7.0 earthquake rocked Anchorage, Alaska, in late November 2018. Roads buckled and chimneys tumbled from rooftops. Business operations were disrupted. Schools were damaged across the district. This was the largest earthquake to shake the region in a generation, and there was much to learn. What was the state of the infrastructure? Might further quakes occur? How did people respond? Teams of scientists and engineers from across the United States mobilized to conduct field reconnaissance in partnership with local researchers and practitioners. These efforts were coordinated through the clearing house set up by the Earthquake Engineering Research Study the effects of earthquakes, floods and other natural hazards with sensitivity to ethical dilemmas and power imbalances. Institute in Oakland, California, which provided daily in-person and online briefings, as well as a web portal for sharing data. But researchers are not always so welcome in disaster zones. After the deadly Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami on 26 December 2004, hundreds of academics from countries including Japan, Russia, France and the United States rushed to the region to collect perishable data. This influx of foreign scientists angered and fatigued some locals; many declined researchers' requests for interviews. The former governor of Aceh province, Indonesia, where more than 128,000 people died, described foreign researchers as "guerrillas applying hit-and-run tactics" 1.

Bibliometric analysis is a type of analysis technique that includes the procedure of collecting, calculating, analyzing, and interpreting various types of literature. The objectives of this study were to identify the most relevant keywords when analyzing the papers' title and abstract content, to examine the annual publication of papers, to study the authorship pattern of papers, to discuss which countries produce the largest number of publications on digital disaster management in libraries, to identify citations received by the papers published. The research data from 2010 to 2022 was retrieved from the Google Scholar database using the "Publish or Perish" software program. 95 articles related to digital disaster management in the library were selected for data analysis. The keywords "Digital Disaster," "Disaster Management," and "Library" were used to select the most related articles. VOSviewer software and the Excel package were used to analyze and visualize the data in the study. The results show that the most relevant terms were disaster management (43), library (31), study (16), and digital disaster (16). The most articles were published in 2022, with a total of 16 (16.88%). Scholars working in this area collaborate to a greater extent. 52 papers (54.74%) have multiple authors, whereas 43 papers (45.26%) have only one author. The USA topped the list with the most articles 20 (21.05%). India was second with 12 (12.63%) articles and Indonesia was third with 11 (11.60%) articles. The most cited paper is Digital Disaster Management in Libraries in India, which recorded 29 citations during the study period. The digital disaster preparedness in libraries research topic is very valuable to future studies.

Journal of Community Engagement and Scholarship

When natural disasters occur, university researchers and their community partners, particularly those in the disaster areas, are often expected to assume responsibility for generating knowledge from these events. As both natural and man-made disasters continue to occur, more faculty will be unexpectedly thrust into the arena of disaster-related research. This article explores the opportunities and challenges experienced by four social work faculty who made their initial forays into disaster-related research in the midst of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The research projects, partnerships, innovations, and problems associated with their research endeavors are discussed. In addition, recommendations for engaging in disaster-related research for researchers new to this area of inquiry are explored.
