## 2 Research Methodology
### Data Collection  
In the data collection phase, relevant research papers are retrieved based on the defined research questions. The data are sourced from bibliographic databases such as Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Researchers filter and select papers of interest using search terms, keywords, journal names, and other criteria. Bibliographic information, such as the paper's title, author, citation count, reference list, journal name, keywords, and abstract, is collected, along with citation data, which is essential for bibliographic coupling or co-citation analysis. In this phase, it is important to establish clear parameters for data collection to define the scope of the analysis accurately.  
For this work, bibliometric data were collected in September 2024 using Scopus, and Boolean syntax was utilized to create query strings, as shown in Table 1, to select relevant academic literature. The final query string included hazard-related keywords (hazard* OR safe* OR risk* OR accident* OR error*) and analysis-related keywords (analys* OR manage* OR assess* OR method* OR probab* OR factor* OR stud*) within the title, abstract, and keyword fields. To exclude biology-related papers, terms such as (bio* OR bird* OR hunt* OR animal*) were omitted. Furthermore, to specifically focus on fishing vessels, terms like (fishing AND (vessel* OR ship* OR boat* OR fleet*)) were included in the title. As a result, a total of 312 publications were identified, of which 27 were non-English papers. This study chose to include only English-language publications, as it was determined that the non-English papers would not significantly impact the overall trends of the final results. Consequently, a total of 285 papers related to fishing vessel safety were selected for the analysis. The results consist of 197 articles, 78 conference papers, 5 chapters, 4 reviews, and 1 book.
