A web-based GIS (web-GIS) database of the scientific articles on earthquake-triggeredlandslides

Over the last 2 decades, the topic ofearthquake-triggered landslides (EQTLs) has shown increasing relevance inthe scientific community. This interest is confirmed by the numerousarticles published in international, peer-reviewed journals. In thiswork we present a database containing a selection of articles published onthis topic from 1984 to 2021. The articles were selected through asystematic search on the Clarivate (TM) Web of Science (TM) CoreCollection online platform and were catalogued into a web-based GIS (web-GIS),which was specifically designed to show different types of information.After a general analysis of the database, for each article the following aspects were identified:the bibliometric information (e.g. author(s), title, publication year), therelevant topic and sub-topic category (or categories), and the earthquake(s) addressed. Theanalysis allowed us to infer general information and statistics on EQTLs (e.g.relevant methodological approaches over time and in relation to the scale ofinvestigation, most studied events), which can be useful to obtain a spatialdistribution of the articles and a general overview of the topic.
