Abstract
This report is a systematic literature review of the relationship between human error and pollution, to take account of unintentional contributions to environmental pollution. To examine this relation, a systematic literature review of articles, including the keywords “human error” and “pollution” was conducted. The keywords were searched in the Web of Science and Google Scholar (using Harzing’s Publish or Perish) databases, then exporting the metadata into VOSviewer to create cluster diagrams or keywords and co-citation analyses. Next, a few articles were selected: four articles from various databases, including Google Scholar, SpringerLink, and ResearchGate, two chapters from the Handbook of Human Factors and Ergonomics, Fourth Edition by Salvendy, and three more articles derived from the co-citation analysis. The articles were compiled into Mendeley and then exported into MAXQDA to create a word cloud exhibiting some keywords within the nine articles. Next, the AuthorMapper program from Springer was used to find the current and most relevant contributions to the area of human error and pollution as well as the most relevant keywords for an extended lexical search within the chosen nine articles. Then MAXQDA was used to perform an extended lexical search to find the usage of the keywords and the key points within the articles. Overall, the main keywords of risk management, human factors in accident causation, accident causation, failure, automation, and regulation showed a high relevance within multiple of the chosen articles. Also, from the Springer AuthorMapper, the contributions were not highly concentrated from any specific author, country, or institution, but were varied with an increasing trend of articles being written in this topic area.
