Figure 3
The chart compares research methods, including descriptive, computational modelling and operational research, mixed methods, experiment, data science, survey, and design. Descriptive studies dominate with 67, followed by 39 computational modelling and operational research, and 14 mixed-method studies. Experiments and data science each account for 5, while survey and design methods have minimal representation. Each bar is subdivided into health, disaster, and other categories such as operations research, environment, and safety science, showing the distribution of research across domains.Methods used per journal type
