ABSTRACT
Due to the financial crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, entrepreneurs and small businesses have had multiple difficulties accessing conventional types of financing. Crowdfunding platforms have gained popularity as an alternative means of online financing. The main objective of this research is to analyze the most important articles that may influence future studies on crowdfunding platforms in Latin America. This article analyzes the Scopus and Web of Science databases considering three of the four categories of crowdfunding based on capital flows: Reward, Equity, and Lending, using a systematic review of the literature and bibliometric analysis. This research resulted in a total of 1032 articles which, after applying the appropriate criteria, resulted in 55 selected articles. The results show that the number of studies conducted in the field of crowdfunding platforms is increasing. Crowdfunding platforms provide a great opportunity for entrepreneurs to obtain alternative financing and a new way for investors to invest their capital. Future lines of research include conducting studies that involve a stronger focus on the technology used in crowdfunding platforms. With systematized access to information, the different actors can understand how the dynamics of crowdfunding platforms can stimulate the development of business projects, as well as the decision-making factor when investing. This document is of great interest to researchers and professionals who wish to increase their knowledge of crowdfunding platforms, especially those of Reward, Equity, and Lending, in addition to gaining knowledge on relevant conclusions and suggestions for future research. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.

Since its outbreak in Wuhan, China, back in December 2019, researchers all across the globe have been working tirelessly to provide reliable insights to understand and combat the virus. As a result, the number of publications related to the novel coronavirus has been increasing rapidly. This study aims to quantify and summarize the progress of SARS-CoV-2 related research from November 2019 onwards to January 2021 by employing a bibliometric analysis and topic modelling approaches. A total of 33,159 research publications, downloaded from the Web of Science (WoS) core collection database, were analyzed. The key aspects of our study include identifying important publications, their distribution across countries and organizations, important journals and central authors who have made a significant contribution to the current literature. We have also delineated the major themes addressed in the academic community. © 2022 IEEE Computer Society. All rights reserved.
ABSTRACT
The literature on high-performance athletes has developed in a not-so-considerable way in the last two years, in the same way, few productions of a systematic review of the literature are evidenced, as well as no study has been examined under the use of the technique of citation mapping called: bibliometrics. Therefore, it is the first time that this study is performed by means of scientific mapping and bibliometric analysis having a total of 130 documents published in different databases such as Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science;the cut of years that were considered for this research was 2019-2022 since the period where the SARS-CoV-2 virus spread worldwide, causing several collateral effects in athletes with high performance around the world. For the analysis of the obtained data and mapping preparation, the VoS Viewer software, the lens.org bibliometric platform is implemented. The results of the scientific mapping, bibliometric clustering and co-occurrence networks have allowed the identification of possible fields of research that can be developed in the future. The results show that the literature on the high performance of athletes during the Covid-19 pandemic has advanced over these 4 years, as well as the most influential parts of the literature in terms of authors, scientific production, most cited topics, and keywords are related and from which lines of research can be innovated. Finally, there is no review of the literature regarding the collateral effects produced by Covid-19, which is why a line of research focused on biomechanical studies and collateral effects should be focused on. © 2023 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
Increasing disposable income of society and the individual., time-saving attitude., health safety (during COVID-19)., and innovation have increased consumer inclination from offline to online food delivery (OFD). Before COVID-19., eating out the home was the fashion and hangout., but after COVID-19., consumers feel safe while sitting at home. This study aims to explore the pre and current publications on online food delivery., find out the most studied country in OFD., find out the top-cited research publications in OFD., and find out the most dominant research terms in OFD. The present study reviews previous research published during the last 11 years (2012-March 2022) extracted from the www.dimensions.ai free web app. A drastic increase in publications since 2020 explains researchers' inclination toward the OFD. Two hundred twenty research articles were published during the pandemic out of 253 published in the last 11 years. The maximum researched country in OFD is the United States., followed by India and the United Kingdom. The most cited research publication has 255 citations. The most visible keywords in the present study were 'Zomato.,' followed by 'SEM' and 'OFD.' The present study has some limitations., like the database used in the study (dimensions) may not be as good as Scopus or WoS., which may give a better result. More study is required to understand the OFD topic and its survival. It is recommended that the catering industry take OFD as an opportunity along with the regular business generated through steady footfall of the customer/guest. It can be improved through proper logistics., software support., and merging with artificial intelligence. © 2022 IEEE.

ABSTRACT
The supply chain in the construction industry faces numerous constraints such as a lack of coordination, communication, collaboration, and technological advancement. Supply chain management is critical when products are transferred from one organization to another until they reach end users or consumers without being damaged, counterfeited, or delayed. Despite extensive research, little is known about the factors that will lead to better construction supply chain management. The reason for this examination is to make a bibliometric investigation in light of the verifiable solidification of distributions and branches of knowledge. It intends to recognize research trends, authers, nations, and organizations utilizing VOSviewer. The construction project all over the world have been uncovered in different manner by the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper makes sense of how it is feasible to proceed with development work in this present circumstance. The relevant literature in the field of Blockchain in construction supply chain management is retrieved using the Scopus, Web of Science database as the research object. If the construction work carry on, the economic downturn will be decreased and unemployment will also be decreased. The mapping of Blockchain Construction Supply Chain Management scientific production enabled the visualization of networks of co-occurrence of keywords. © 2022 IEEE.

ABSTRACT
Telemedicine has become fundamental for the challenges posed to healthcare. This set of instruments turns pivotal for facing one of the most relevant emergencies in human history: the COVID-19 pandemic. The multisectoral crisis led to a vigorously sustained adoption of innovations, including telemedicine technology. Telehealth was proven, in this context, to be a relevant tool to reduce healthcare costs, reduce not-needed hospitalizations, and improve the results in health care. Some barriers such as the costs of technologies, patient privacy and technical literacy have slowed down telemedicine adoption. Amidst the COVID-19 era, telemedicine calls for a managerial duty to change healthcare's organizational models. The present work aims to explore the growing literature to illuminate the relationships between telemedicine, innovations and healthcare in the COVID-19 framework. A bibliometric analysis of the existing literature based on 285 published works in 2019–2020 is put forward with the aim to detect the relevant literature, themes and approaches on telemedicine and COVID-19. Making use of community detection on the co-occurrence keywords network, we identify the "semantic cores” in the literature representing the relevant results on critical themes. The sorting implications are important for researchers and policymakers by mapping the existing literature and results in evidence-based analysis. We provide the key communities as the "semantic core” of the publications and results for the considered period. This allows for future research to be oriented towards perduring health policies that could lead to the adoption of telemedicine technologies in a post-pandemic scenario. © 2021
ABSTRACT
Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are of great importance in today's society and have permeated different aspects of human life. In fact, access to them is now considered a fundamental right. There exists, however, a gap between individuals and populations who have access to these technologies and those who do not, which has led to social exclusion. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the effects of this disparity. In this regard, digital inclusion, through ICTs, becomes a strategy to close not only technical but also social gaps, thereby bringing well-being to vulnerable groups and favouring compliance with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Given the importance and topicality of this matter, we conducted a bibliometric analysis, which aims to answer what are the main trends in digital inclusion and digital divide studies and what are the challenges facing digital inclusion initiatives in the social context? For this purpose, we applied a search equation in Scopus and used VOSviewer. With this analysis, we were able to identify the evolution of publications over time and the main authors, countries and topics in the field, and the trends and challenges in digital inclusion initiatives. Finally, we conclude that this study can be used to address other research topics, such as the role of ICTs in the promotion of the SDGs through digital inclusion initiatives, the psychosocial aspects of technology adoption and the need for public policies that serve as a platform for digital and social inclusion. © The Author(s) 2023.
ABSTRACT
The global rampancy of COVID-19 has caused profound changes in education sectors. Perhaps the most salient change is the shift of the instructional paradigm from face-to-face instruction to fully online learning. To address the challenges facing the education sector, researchers and educational practitioners have extensively investigated the transition in teaching mode under COVID-19, with a growing contribution to a range of topics in relation to online learning. Against this backdrop, it is necessary to gain a comprehensive understanding of the major hotspots and issues of online learning so as to develop appropriate and effective policies on strategic (re-)allocation of resources to more critical initiatives. This study aims to adopt bibliometrics and topic modeling to identify prominent research topics on online learning under COVID-19 from the large-scale, unstructured text of research publications. Specifically, structural topic modeling will be used to identify predominant topics concerned by scholars working in the field of online learning research. The non-parametrical Mann-Kendell trend test will also be applied to uncover the developmental tendency of each identified topic. In addition, the correlations among the key topics will be revealed and visualized by hierarchical clustering analysis. Based on the analytical results, suggestions will be made to facilitate educational policy formulation to promote the development and effective implementation of technological, scientific, and pedagogical activities of online learning. © 2022 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
Since the emergence of "computer-based learning", education has changed forever. This is true not only in academia but also in the engineering industry, as it has changed the way companies train engineers and technicians. Companies generally refer to these technologies as "computer-assisted learning". Academic institutions have applied these new learning approaches to complement traditional classroom presentations. When the Internet became available to individuals, some authors used the term "web-based learning"while others used the term "internet-based learning". Over time, the phrase "e-learning"became a general expression for learning approaches that were different from classroom presentations, which could be synchronous or asynchronous. The terms "online"or "virtual"learning also emerged, but the term "e-learning"predominated, and has now extended to academia and the corporate world. New variants of this concept have been developed, such as "mobile learning"and the combination of a presentation modality with electronic learning has resulted in the development of "blended learning". Since 2020, increasing numbers of publications have been produced in the areas of electronic and blended learning driven by the COVID pandemic and its consequences for education around the world, including engineering. Although publications in the field of engineering education are still led by the USA, we find that STEM publications are led by China. © 2022 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
How can we establish a risk perception model and method to guide safety management has become an important issue that needs to be solved urgently in the field of tourism management. However, the solution to this issue is inseparable from the objective analysis, induction and deduction, and the analysis of the frontier trend towards the multidimensional model of tourism risk perception. In this paper, 211 articles from the Web of Science are selected as the research object, and the bibliometric analysis is applied to find: (1) Research on tourism risk perception based on multidimensional models can be divided into nascent, developmental, and mature stages;(2) The research on the multi-dimensional model of tourism risk perception has formed a group of academic groups with outstanding contributions and representative authors;(3) The research hotspots in multidimensional models of tourism risk perception focus on the comprehensive study of perceived risk, the outbreak of COVID-19, psychological risk, destination image, and behavioral intention. On this basis, this paper proposes some corresponding research suggestions to address the inadequacies of existing studies, and the research findings have significant theoretical implications for the construction of the theoretical system of tourism risk management. © 2022 The Author(s).
ABSTRACT
Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) have been feeling great pressure to advance in digital transformation. This pressure has been intensified with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic at the end of 2019. Because the digital transformation of HEIs has been attracting a growing number of publications, the present study sought to carry out a bibliometric analysis of such titles. For this purpose, 643 relevant documents were identified from the Scopus database in January 2022. The descriptive results show an accelerated growth of the relevant literature, with conference papers being the main form of publication, followed by articles, conference reviews, and book chapters. The areas with which the majority of documents were associated were computer science, followed by social science, engineering, and business and management. An analysis of the co-occurrence of terms based on the titles and s enabled the identification of three thematic areas of interest: 1) digital transformation in teaching, particularly under the pressure exerted by COVID-19;2) environmental influences on the digital transformation of HEIs;and 3) enabling technologies for digital transformation. A longitudinal analysis also based on titles and s allows us to see how the primary focus shifted from the economic issue (in 2019) to the COVID issue (in 2021). This study concludes by discussing the theoretical and practical implications of the findings, demonstrating as a particularly interesting area for future research the study of the digital transformation of HEIs in a future post-COVID scenario. © 2022, The Author(s).

ABSTRACT
This study aims to map articles that examine flipbooks as the variables. Scopus and Google Scholar are used to gather the data for this study. The selected articles are those published in international journals and proceedings indexed by Scopus and/or Google Scholar. The data collection applied is a documentation technique. The procedure for data documentation begins with Scopus data containing the article keyword "flipbook in learning". The data from Google Scholar is then cataloged in the Mendeley software. Furthermore, each data is mapped using the VOSviewer software. The data is limited according to the needs of the discussion of the results of the study, namely articles that discuss flipbooks in learning. The data analysis process uses a bibliometric approach. The results show that research on flipbooks in learning published in international journals and proceedings is increasingly in demand, particularly in 2020 and 2021. However, in terms of quantity, flipbook articles still need to be improved. This is following the need for teaching materials, especially teaching materials that can be used during the distance learning system during the COVID-19 pandemic. © 2021 IEEE.
