A research framework for digital nomadism: a bibliometric study. (Special Issue: Leisure, knowledge work and the digital nomadism.)

Digital nomads live a new way of life that creates an ideal balance of work and leisure. Research on the phenomenon of digital nomads is still in its early stages and is not fully framed as a proper research category. Therefore, the present research aims to explore research on digital nomadism by study leading countries, authors and themes that can become a foundation for future research. This study is exploratory and interpretive - using bibliometrics, we systematically searched all articles indexed in the Web of Science database. The study presents the evolution of scholarly production, and identifies key authors and countries that have the potential to become pioneers in digital nomad research. We identified 17 core concepts of digital nomad research as well as concepts that have not yet received much attention from scientists. Additionally, our study provides a framework for research on digital nomadism and presents topics for future research: we determine how the 17 core concepts identified in this study affect the lives of digital nomads, research into legislation that directly affects digital nomads, study how COVID-19 has changed working styles, and offer a bibliometric analysis of data on digital nomads from other databases.

Training in digital competence of teachers of primary and early childhood education in Spain. A bibliometric review of the literature

Digital competence is essential in teacher training in schools. However, research shows that they are not yet effective nor do they have quality. The purpose of this research was to carry out a descriptive bibliometric analysis of the literature on the training in digital competence of teachers of primary and early childhood education in Spain using the metadata of 45 publications indexed in the Scopus database and supported by the Bibexcel and VosViewer programs. For analysis we have used different bibliometric techniques (bibliographic coupling, co-citation and co-occurrence). The results tell us that we are in an upward trend in terms of publications on the subject, with a greater impact on the social sciences;likewise, the co-occurrence shows the way in which current research topics deal with teacher training, COVID19 or online learning. In the same way, the review of the literature shows the lack of training that teachers have received or are receiving with respect to digital competence. Considering the results, the main conclusion refers to the need to continue researching the methodological, organizational and/or regulatory dimensions that influence the development of digital skills in teachers. © 2023 University of Granada.

A Bibliometric Analysis of Sustainable Food Consumption: Historical Evolution, Dominant Topics and Trends

The major goal of this study is to trace the emergence of SFC-related research across time, using a thematic map and a list of corresponding publications. In addition, this study aims to determine the author who has made the most significant contribution to this particular field. This study provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of the historical development and current trends in sustainable food consumption research, examining 2265 articles published between 1990 and 2023. Using the bibliometrics package of R Studio software version 4.2.1 and its Biblioshiny package, articles from the Scopus and Web of Science databases are examined. In the field of sustainable food consumption, we identify five distinct research phases: initial stagnation, infant growth, post-economic crisis, expanding phase and COVID-19 and post-pandemic. While research on broader sustainability topics can be traced back to the early 20th century, a very limited number of articles on sustainable food consumption was published in the 1990s. However, the number of publications increased incrementally over time, with a notable uptick in interest around 2015, and the subject was still being discussed in 2022. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic marked the beginning of the most recent phase of research, which analyzed the consumption patterns of consumers before and after the pandemic. Our study highlights key authors, documents and sources related to sustainable food consumption. The United States, Italy and the United Kingdom emerged as the most active contributors to the research on sustainable food consumption and were additionally the countries with the largest global market shares for organic products. Major sub-themes including organic food, food waste, sustainable development and food security, together with consumer behavior and organic products appeared as being the most researched sub-themes of recent times. The results of this study suggest that more research is related to sustainable food consumption in countries with a low organic food market share. In addition, the investigation of actual data on food waste, carbon footprints and greenhouse gas emissions resulting from food production and consumption is essential to gain holistic insights.

Higher Education Intellectual Performance, Social Network, and Strategies During the Pandemic: A Bibliometric Approach to Online Mathematics Education

The recent COVID-19 pandemic raises challenges and opportunities for higher education researchers worldwide in both research and teaching. As a core curriculum, mathematics education moved online. Despite overwhelming education research on the impact of the pandemic, there is missing knowledge about online mathematics education research. Using bibliometric analysis, this study investigates the impact of the pandemic on the field. Performance analysis reveals an overall increase in scientific production and a change in the most productive actors. Publications also shifted from technology-oriented journals to those in mathematics and sustainability, with reduced international collaboration but greater country and institution diversification. The conceptual structure of research development shows a pre-COVID-19 emphasis evolving from technology- to student- and learning-centered pedagogies. During the pandemic, research expanded towards student affective factors of anxiety, attitude, self-determination, teacher education, and both teacher and student acceptance of technology. The current findings provide researchers, administrators, and policymakers with recommendations for directing future research endeavors and policy ordinances. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

Uncertainty Analysis and Optimization Modeling with Application to Supply Chain Management: A Systematic Review

In recent years, there have been frequent cases of impact on the stable development of supply chain economy caused by uncertain events such as COVID-19 and extreme weather events. The creation, management, and impact coping techniques of the supply chain economy now face wholly novel requirements as a result of the escalating level of global uncertainty. Although a significant literature applies uncertainty analysis and optimization modeling (UAO) to study supply chain management (SCM) under uncertainty, there is a lack of systematic literature review and research classification. Therefore, in this paper, 121 articles published in 44 international academic journals between 2015 and 2022 are extracted from the Web of Science database and reviewed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Bibliometric analysis and CiteSpace software are used to identify current developments in the field and to summarize research characteristics and hot topics. The selected published articles are classified and analyzed by author name, year of publication, application area, country, research purposes, modeling methods, research gaps and contributions, research results, and journals to comprehensively review and evaluate the SCM in the application of UAO. We find that UAO is widely used in SCM under uncertainty, especially in the field of decision-making, where it is common practice to ly model the decision problem to obtain scientific decision results. This study hopes to provide an important and valuable reference for future research on SCM under uncertainty. Future research could combine uncertainty theory with supply chain management segments (e.g., emergency management, resilience management, and security management), behavioral factors, big data technologies, artificial intelligence, etc. [ FROM AUTHOR] Copyright of Mathematics (2227-7390) is the property of MDPI and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyright holder's express written permission.

The purpose of this study was to determine the role, trend, and development of deep learning (DL) in education. The research method used is a bibliometric analysis method using the VOSviewer tool. VOSviewer is used to analyse the distribution of documents each year in various countries, institutions, journals, authors, and the relationship between keywords that appear. The results of this study show that the growth of publications on DL articles in the world of education increased by 31.69%, while the growth of DL articles as learning media increased by 11%. The most productive country in publishing articles related to DL in education is the United States with a total of 460 related documents and 13,162 citations. The most productive institution that researches DL in education is Stanford University with a total of 21 articles published. Furthermore, the most productive journal in IEEE Access with a total publication of 58,219 articles and a citation score of 4.8. The relationship between authors shows that the co-authoring network with Zhang Y. is the largest network with a total of 24 co-authored articles. The keyword that appears the most is the keyword "deep learning" which is directly related to "Data Analytics" and "AI". It is also seen that the topics that may arise for future research are topics related to the keyword "deep learning" which is related to "Virtual Reality" or "Educational Psychology". This research can be useful to find research gaps regarding the development or implementation of deep learning in the field of education to improve the quality of education and solving problems related to the world of education.

Bibliometric analysis of the classic cited papers in the American Journal of Surgery: Citation recapitulates surgical history.

BACKGROUND: We performed a bibliometric analysis of the American Journal of Surgery (AJS) to identify, characterize and place within a historical context, its published classic cited papers (CCPs). METHODS: Bibliometric data from papers published in the AJS between January 1, 1945, and December 31, 2021 was extracted from the Web of Science database. Analysis was performed utilizing Bibliometrix and VOSViewer software. RESULTS: 27,070 papers were published in the AJS over the study period. There were 16 CCPs, including 5 Top CCPs, identified. Review of the Top CCPs reveals that they are based on careful clinical observations, innovation and generally build on prior published work. Top CCPs usually are specific to a particular diagnosis or a commonly performed procedure, as such papers frequently present a scoring or classification system, or important details related to new operative approaches or techniques. CONCLUSIONS: Bibliometric study of the AJS has allowed for identification, characterization and appreciation of many of the key changes that have occurred in the discipline throughout the history of modern surgery.

Citation advantage of COVID-19-related publications

With the global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists from various disciplines responded quickly to this historical public health emergency. The sudden boom of COVID-19-related papers in a short period of time may bring unexpected influence to some commonly used bibliometric indicators. By a large-scale investigation using Science Citation Index Expanded and Social Sciences Citation Index, this brief communication confirms the citation advantage of COVID-19-related papers empirically through the lens of Essential Science Indicators' highly cited paper. More than 8% of COVID-19-related papers published during 2020 and 2021 were selected as Essential Science Indicators highly cited papers, which was much higher than the set global benchmark value of 1%. The citation advantage of COVID-19-related papers for different Web of Science categories/countries/journal impact factor quartiles was also demonstrated. The distortions of COVID-19-related papers' citation advantage to some bibliometric indicators such as journal impact factor were discussed at the end of this brief communication.
