Biodiversity offsetting plays a crucial role in managing the impacts of development on natural habitats.Developers,conserva-tion groups,governments and financial institutions have used biodiversity offsetting to design measurable conservation actions to com-pensate for significant residual adverse biodiversity impacts arising from development.However,the concepts and methodologies of biodiversity offsetting have rarely been systematically reviewed,and best practices are still lacking.This hinders the development and applications of this field,and makes it difficult for new researchers to learn,develop,and apply biodiversity offsetting.This paper aims to review research progress on biodiversity offsetting during the period of 1992 to 2019.We mainly used bibliometric analysis and so-cial network analysis methods to expose the topic diversity,development and promotion of this research field,and assess collaboration among biodiversity offsetting scholars.Our research identified 1190 records,and revealed that the total number of publications in-creased rapidly since 2002.The most productive journal,country,and author were Biological Conservation,USA,and Dr.Maron M of University of Queensland,respectively.Co-author analysis identified that the 23 authors most relevant to biodiversity offsetting were in-volved in a collaboration network.And they were mainly from 30 countries in a collaboration network,and the authors from USA,Aus-tralia and the United Kingdom have the most cooperation,which mainly driven by policy related to biodiversity offsetting.Our review shows that biodiversity offsetting research is at an early stage of rapid development with topically diverse and collaborative science do-mains.The majority of studies focus on terrestrial environments,which makes the implementation of aquatic ecosystem is more diffi-cult.Theoretical problems and the implications of research evolution and social network in biodiversity offsetting are discussed,and fur-ther development of the theory and methodologies of biodiversity offsetting and management was recommend.
