Earthquake is among the most disastrous natural hazards existing in the global economy. Large-scale earthquakes exhibit threats and challenges to the modern society, causing casualties and deaths, impeding socio-economic activities and causing massive economic losses throughout the world. Thus there is a need for an earthquake early warning, detection, and rescue system which can save lives of human, environment, and economy of the world. Tremendous growth in the use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) applications has opened up new possibilities in characterizing infrastructure, risk area and disaster zones, planning and implementation of seismic hazard reduction measures etc. Furthermore, ICT provides an enormous opportunity for both disaster management systems and earthquake-related authorities (emergency responders, police, public health and seismology departments) to acquire state-of-the-art assistance and improved insights for precise and appropriate decision making. Consequently, it is now of paramount importance to transform from individual monitoring, prediction and decision-making frameworks to smart earthquake management systems which includes decision makers and earthquake affecting people equally with the assistance of recent technological advancements. Even though a significant number of earthquake or seismic hazard papers are published in international journals, there has been no quantitative assessment of information and communication technologies (ICT) in this literature yet encountered. Hence, this study is performed. This paper presents a bi-dimensional scientometric study of research from the perspective of various domains, research areas of seismic hazard and ICT trends over the last 10 years, as indexed in Scopus. The essence behind this study is to unveil the main influencing aspects that govern the publications and its citation structure using scientometric method. The publication pattern is analyzed first, along with related subject categories and contributing countries. Then, citation structure is analyzed which includes the distribution of citations over the years, citing journals, documents, authors and influential institutions along with their impact in terms of citations per paper. Furthermore, the keyword analysis is visualized using VOSviewer. Timeline review of keywords are exported from VOSviewer to pinpoint the hotspots and research trends. This paper provides in-depth understanding of existing seismic hazard research and indicates the emerging ICT trends in this research domain.

地震是全球经济中最灾难性的自然灾害之一。大规模地震对现代社会构成威胁和挑战，造成人员伤亡和死亡，阻碍了社会经济活动，并给全世界造成了巨大的经济损失。因此，需要一种地震预警，检测和救援系统，其可以挽救人类，环境和世界经济的生命。信息和通信技术（ICT）应用的使用量的巨大增长为表征基础设施，危险区域和灾区，规划和实施减震措施等开辟了新的可能性。此外，ICT为灾难管理提供了巨大的机会系统和与地震有关的主管部门（应急人员，警察，公共卫生和地震学部门）以获取最新的帮助和更深入的见解，以进行准确，适当的决策。因此，现在至关重要的是，从个人监视，预测和决策框架转变为智能地震管理系统，该系统包括决策者和借助最新技术进步平等影响人们的地震。即使在国际期刊上发表了大量关于地震或地震危险的论文，但在这些文献中还没有对信息和通信技术（ICT）进行定量评估。因此，进行了这项研究。本文从各个领域对研究进行了二维科学计量研究，根据Scopus的索引，研究了过去10年的地震灾害和ICT趋势领域。这项研究的实质是使用科学计量方法揭示影响出版物及其引用结构的主要影响因素。首先分析出版模式，以及相关的主题类别和贡献国。然后，分析引文结构，包括多年来引文的分布，引述期刊，文献，作者和有影响力的机构，以及它们对每篇论文引文的影响。此外，可以使用VOSviewer可视化关键字分析。从VOSviewer导出了对关键字的时间表审查，以查明热点和研究趋势。
