In this review, we selected Klinke and Renn (2002), entitled “A new approach to risk evaluation and management: risk-based, precaution-based, and discourse-based strategies,” published in Risk Analysis, as the most influential article from a regulatory science perspective. In this review paper, we first summarize what the Klinke and Renn (2002) paper claimed, and then classify the topics by structural topic modeling in order to analyze in what fields the Klinke and Renn (2002) paper was cited. Representative references were extracted from each classified topic to further investigate in what context Klinke and Renn (2002) paper were cited. In addition, we also organized the citation status in literature other than journal papers. Through the analyses, we found the Klinke and Renn (2002) paper was cited in a wide variety of topics, including uncertainty and decision making, regulation, systems and decision making, communication, climate change, management, systems and evaluation, and infrastructure. The citations could be divided into four main categories: characteristics of risk, criteria for assessing risk, proposed risk classes, and risk governance frames. In particular, the discussion of risk governance frames proved to have a broad impact on cross disciplines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
