This study aims to highlight the current trends in the literature on corporate governance in Gulf Cooperation Council countries by applying a bibliometric and content analysis of papers on corporate governance. This research intends to identify gaps in the corporate governance literature by conducting a complete bibliometric assessment. Design/methodology/approach- Bibliometric analysis is a quantitative approach to analyzing bibliographic data that focuses on the key theoretical and empirical contributions to a certain research subject. It enables a researcher to categorize the information according to many aspects, such as the paper, journal, author, indexation, organization, or country. This study reviews a total of 704 articles on corporate governance published in the GCC countries. Bibliometric analysis was performed using VOSviewer, and content analysis was performed using the Bibliometrix package by R. Findings – The research findings indicate that corporate governance research can be categorized into subfields. The results identify four major clusters: financial reporting quality, corporate social responsibility, earning management, and ownership types. This study also presents recommendations for future research in this field. Practical implications – The findings of this study have implications for corporate governance research, such as the impact of earning management on environmental, social, and governance disclosure. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the only one to review the key corporate governance research topics on which papers published in the GCC are focused. It can be largely used for corporate governance practices. Originality/value—This study provides an overview of how the literature on corporate governance research has developed in the region. It summarizes the most influential authors, countries, organizations, and journal sources. This provides an opportunity for further study in this area in future studies.

PurposeFor sustaining a competitive advantage in the integrated world economy, it has become imperative for family firms to internationalise their operations in overseas markets. However, despite the growing set of literature, results are still inconclusive with respect to family firms’ internationalisation. Thus, this study aims to address this gap by systematically reviewing 142 articles (1991–2019) to help researchers in identifying and unfolding the unexplored themes in the underlying area.Design/methodology/approachFor systematically reviewing articles, the study uses a three-step methodology following PRISMA guidelines, bibliometric analysis and thematic analysis. Descriptive statistics of 142 research articles are obtained through bibliometric analysis while thematic analysis is carried out to create themes or clusters of various factors relating to family firms’ internationalisation.FindingsThe current review uncovers the evolving trends in the research streams, most productive authors, top journals and articles, co-citation analysis, as well as the major themes surrounding the family firms’ internationalisation literature. Results from bibliometric analysis indicate that family firms’ internationalisation is an upcoming research area. Also, the review indicates an opportunity for scholars from developing nations to make significant contributions in the underlying research stream.Research limitations/implicationsResults from bibliometric and thematic analysis will help academicians and researchers in accumulating a holistic understanding relating to family firms’ internationalisation and understanding the upcoming trends in family firms’ research, thereby guiding the future research scope. Also, it will assist the family firms’ leaders and managers in understanding the important dynamics in overseas markets and various factors to be considered while planning their internationalisation.Originality/valueUndertaking a systematic literature review presents readers with a state-of-the-art understanding of the underlying research topic. To the best of the knowledge, to date, the study is the first to conduct the review of literature through bibliometric analysis with the help of R Studio software in the field of family firms’ internationalisation. Also, the study is the first to review more than 100 research articles in the underlying area. Finally, the study proposes a comprehensive framework integrating the major themes and facets relating to family firms’ internationalisation.

Nowadays, Corporate Social responsibility (CSR) is becoming a buzz word, and more and more academics are putting efforts on CSR studies. It is believed that CSR could influence Corporate Reputation (CR), and they hold a favourable view that CSR leads to a positive CR. To be specific, the CSR related activities in the reputational context have been regarded as ways that associate to excellent financial performance, value creation, etc. Also, it is argued that CSR and CR are two sides of one coin; hence, to some extent, doing CSR is equal to establishing a good reputation. Still, there is no consensus of the CSR-CR relationship in the literature; thus, a systematic literature review is highly in need. This research conducts a systematic literature review with both bibliometric and content analysis. Data are selected from English language sources, and academic journal articles only, then, keyword combinations are applied to identify relevant sources. Data from Scopus and WoS are gathered for bibliometric analysis. In terms of the topic of CSR-CR, this literature review with bibliometric analysis has made four achievements. First, this paper has developed a systematic study which quantitatively depicts the knowledge structure of CSR and CR by identifying terms closely related to CSR-CR (such as ‘corporate governance’) and clustering subtopics emerged in co-citation analysis. Second, content analysis is performed to acquire insight on the findings of bibliometric analysis in the discussion section. And it highlights some insightful implications for the future research agenda, for example, a psychological link between CSR-CR is identified from the result; also, emerging economies and qualitative research methods are new elements emerged in the CSR-CR big picture. Third, a multidisciplinary perspective presents through the whole bibliometric analysis mapping and co- word and co-citation analysis; hence, this work builds a structure of interdisciplinary perspective which potentially leads to an integrated conceptual framework in the future. Finally, Scopus and WoS are compared and contrasted in this paper; as a result, Scopus which has more depth and comprehensive data is suggested as a tool for future bibliometric analysis studies. Overall, this paper has fulfilled its initial purposes and contributed to the literature.

Nowadays, under the pressure of numerous research publications, researchers increasingly pay attention to writing survey papers to track and understand one research topic they are interested in, and then begin to conduct more in-depth research. Until this moment, there are two types of survey papers: traditional review analysis and bibliometric statistical analysis. Compared with traditional review analysis, due to the analysis of various bibliometric information that can be quickly summarized to assess and predict one research field's development, the bibliometric statistical analysis is progressively proposed. However, no research relied on the bibliometric approach to explore fuzzy inference system (FIS) -based classifiers. More importantly, since the current open-ended bibliometric analysis approaches have different assessment focuses, choosing a suitable approach is problematic. Therefore, based on the extraction, integration, and expansion of previous bibliometric analysis theories, this research proposes a new systematic and time-saving bibliometric statistical analysis approach. It is worth noting that the proposed approach eliminates the need to read the internal content of all publications. Two core parts (Publication Information and TOP 20 SETs) are generated by the proposed analysis approach. Among them, analyzing Author Keywords and TOP 20 SETs are unprecedented guiding features to assist researchers in exploring research topic. Significantly, this research relies on the proposed approach to explore FIS-based classifiers. Various assessments cover the bibliometric information of the entire related publications. In addition, these results may need to be considered to increase the citation rate of future publications.

PurposeThe primary goal of this review is to identify emerging themes in the cold supply chain (CSC) and their future research directions, methodologies, and theories.Design/methodology/approachThe review looks at CSC related articles from Scopus database published in the years 2000–2020. Thereafter, bibliometric and co-citation analyses have been conducted to identify emerging themes, methodologies, and theoretical perspectives related to CSC management.FindingsThis study revealed a clear research gap in CSC literature with emerging themes relevant to diverse aspects. Primarily, the most prominent authors, methodologies, and theories were identified from bibliometric analysis. Next, we generated clusters to identify the insights of each cluster using co-citation analysis. Consequently, the significance of clusters concerning the number of articles, theoretical frameworks, methodologies, and themes was recognized. Finally, a few future research questions regarding emerging themes have been identified.Practical implicationsThe importance of co-citation and bibliometric analyses in studying the evolution of research over a definite time is emphasized in this work. As per emerging themes, implementing digital technologies has increased the efficiency of traditional CSC and transformed it into digital CSC.Originality/valueAs per the authors' knowledge, this work is the first in literature to explore the significance of identifying emerging areas and future research directions in managing CSC through literature review based on bibliometric and co-citation analysis.

In the last few decades, numerous studies pertaining to research groups worldwide have investigated the effects of oral caffeine intake on fat oxidation at rest, during exercise, and after exercise. However, there is no bibliometric analysis to assess the large volume of scientific output associated with this topic. A bibliometric analysis of this topic may be used by researchers to assess the current scientific interest in the application of caffeine as a nutritional strategy to augment fat oxidation, the journals with more interest in this type of publication, and to draw international collaborations between groups working in the same area. For these reasons, the purpose of this study was to assess the research activity regarding oral caffeine intake and fat oxidation rate in the last few decades by conducting a bibliometric and visual analysis. Relevant publications from 1992 to 2022 were retrieved from the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection database. Quantitative and qualitative variables were collected, including the number of publications and citations, H-indexes, journals of citation reports, co-authorship, co-citation, and the co-occurrence of keywords. There were 182 total publications, while the number of annual publications is saw-shaped with a modest increase of 11.3% from 2000 to 2009 to 2010 to 2019. The United States was the country with the highest number of publications (24.17% of the total number of articles), followed by the Netherlands (17.03%). According to citation analyses, the average number of citations per document is 130, although there are 21 documents that have received more than 100 citations; the most cited document reached 644 citations. These citation data support the overall relevance of this topic in the fields of nutrition and dietetics and sport sciences that when combined harbored 85.71% of all articles published in the WoS. The most productive author was Westerterp-Plantenga with 16 articles (8.79% of the total number of articles). Nutrients was the journal that published the largest number of articles on this topic (6.59% of the total number of articles). Last, there is a tendency to include keywords such as "performance", "carbohydrate", and "ergogenic aid" in the newer articles, while "obesity", "thermogenic", and "tea" are the keywords more commonly included in older documents. Although research into the role of caffeine on fat oxidation has existed since the 1970s, our analysis suggests that the scientific output associated with this topic has progressively increased since 1992, demonstrating that this is a nutritional research area with a strong foundational base of scientific evidence. Based on the findings of this bibliometric analysis, future investigation may consider focusing on the effects of sex and tolerance to caffeine to widen the assessment of the effectiveness of oral caffeine intake as a nutritional strategy to augment the use of fat as a fuel, as these terms rarely appear in the studies included in this analysis. Additionally, more translational research is necessary as the studies that investigate the effect of oral caffeine intake in ecologically valid contexts (i.e., exercise training programs for individuals with excessive adiposity) are only a minor part of the studies on this topic.

PurposeThis study research contributes in fulfilling the gap by carrying out a systematic literature review (SLR) of contemporary research studies in closed-loop supply chain (CLSC). To the best of the author’s knowledge, an SLR rooted in bibliometric analysis has not been carried focusing on advent developments in CLSC. SLR employs scientific methodologies to select papers from standard databases. The SLR using advanced bibliometric and network analysis enables unveiling the key features of the contemporary literature.Design/methodology/approachThe author has analyzed over 333 documents published from 2008 and onward. Using the contemporary tools from bibliometric analysis tools, the author presented an exploratory analysis. A network analysis is utilized to visualize literature and create clusters for the cocited research studies, keywords and publication sources. A detailed multivariate analysis of most influential works published based top 100 articles via a cocitation matrix is done. The multivariate analysis used k-means clustering in which optimal number of clusters are estimated. The analysis is further extended by using a factor analysis, which enables determining the most influential clusters in the k-means clustering analysis.FindingsThe SLR using a bibliometric and network analysis enables unveiling the key features of the contemporary literature in CLSC. The author examined published research for influential authors, sources, region, among other key aspects. Network analysis enabled visualizing the clusters of cocited research studies, cowords and publication sources. Cluster analysis of cocited research studies is further explored using k-means clustering. Factor analysis extends findings by identifying most contributing grouping of research areas within CLSC research. Each clustering technique disclosed a unique grouping structure.Originality/valueCLSC has received considerable attention, and its core areas start with focusing on reverse logistics concepts relating reuse, recycling, remanufacturing, among others. Contemporarily, the studies have enhanced reverse logistics core functionalities interfaced with the other interesting avenues related to CO2 emission reduction, greening and environmental protection, sustainability, product design and governmental policies. Earlier studies have presented a literature review of CLSC; however, these reviews are commonly conducted in the traditional manner where the authors select papers based on their area of expertise, interest and experience. As such these reviews fall short in utilizing the advanced tools from bibliometric analysis.

The study aimed to reveal the research trends of articles related to PBL in chemistry education and to provide insights into the characteristics of the research activities through bibliometric and descriptive content analyses. For bibliometric analysis, a total of 119 articles were accessed from the Web of Science (WoS), and for descriptive content analysis, a total of 30 articles were eliminated from the “Education & Educational Research” category of WoS. In bibliometric analysis, author keywords, words in the abstracts, citation analyses, and co-citation analyses in the articles were analyzed to reveal an overall picture in the related literature. Then, a descriptive content analysis was performed to examine in detail the fields of research, variables, methods, sample groups, data collection tools, data analysis methods, and the results highlighted in the articles. The bibliometric analysis results showed that the most-used keywords were problem-solving/decision making, problem-based learning, undergraduate, inquiry-based/discovery learning, laboratory instruction, and collaborative/cooperative learning. The most used words in the abstracts of the articles were a problem, students, learning, study, course, approach, skill, and chemistry. The most cited authors were Leman Tarhan, Santiago Sandi-Urena, Melanie M. Cooper, and Todd A. Gatlin. The top two journals in the terms of the total number of articles and the most cited were “Journal of Chemical Education” and “Chemistry Education Research and Practice”. The descriptive content analysis results showed that undergraduate chemistry laboratories and chemistry courses were the main learning environments for PBL settings in chemistry education. Undergraduate students were the most frequently preferred sample. The most examined variables in the articles were academic achievement, views about PBL and attitude. Quantitative and qualitative studies were the main research focus, but there was a limited number of mixed studies. Also, interviews, achievement tests, and alternative assessment tools were widely used as data collection tools in the articles.

Bibliometric and content analysis of ChatGPT research in nursing education: The rabbit hole in nursing education

Neutrophils have long been consistently adjudged to hold a dominant position in acute inflammation, which once led people to undervalue their role in chronic malignancy. It is now acknowledged that neutrophils also infiltrate into the tumor microenvironment in substantial quantities and form a highly abundant immune population within the tumor, known as tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs). There has been a surge of interest in researching the eminent heterogeneity and plasticity of TANs in recent years, and scholars increasingly cotton on to the multifaceted functions of TANs so that strenuous endeavors have been devoted to enunciating their potential as therapeutic targets. Yet it remains much left to translate TAN-targeted immunotherapies into clinical practice. Therefore, there is great significance to comprehensively appraise the research status, focal point, and evolution trend of TAN by using bibliometric analysis. Publications related to TAN research from 2000 to 2024 are extracted from the Web of Science Core Collection. Bibliometric analysis and visualization were performed by tools encompassing Microsoft Excel, VOSviewer, CiteSpace, R-bibliometrix, and so on. The bibliometric analysis included a total of 788 publications authored by 5291 scholars affiliated with 1000 institutions across 58 countries/regions, with relevant articles published in 324 journals. Despite China's maximum quantity of publications and top 10 institutions, the United States is the leading country with the most high-quality publications and is also the global cooperation center. FRONTIERS IN IMMUNOLOGY published the most papers, whereas CANCER RESEARCH is the highest co-cited journal. Israeli professor Fridlender, Zvi G. is the founder, pioneer, and cultivator with the highest citation counts and H-index in the TAN area. Our analysis prefigures the future trajectories: TAN heterogeneity, neutrophil extracellular trap, the crosstalk between TANs and immunocytes, and immunotherapy will likely be the focus of future research. A comprehensive bibliometric and visual analysis is first performed to map the current landscape and intellectual structure of TAN, which proffers fresh perspectives for further research. The accurate identification of distinct TAN subpopulations and the precise targeting of key pro-tumor/anti-tumor subpopulations hold immense potential to develop into a TAN-targeted immunotherapy.

Educational games in nursing education: A bibliometric and content analysis.

BACKGROUND: Over the past 3 decades, clinicians and scholars have used and studied the stellate ganglion block (SGB) extensively, making this field a highly anticipated research hot spot. To the best of our knowledge, there has been no bibliometric analysis of the SGB until now. OBJECTIVE: Our study aimed to complete multiple tasks regarding SGB research: identify the collaboration and impact of countries, institutions, journals, and authors, evaluate the knowledge base, trace the trends in hot spots, and explore the emerging topics relevant to the field. STUDY DESIGN: A bibliometric analysis. METHODS: Publications that were associated with the SGB and published between the years of 1993 and 2022 were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection on September 21st, 2023. CiteSpace 6.1.R6 and VOSviewer 1.6.18 were used to perform bibliometric and knowledge-map analyses. RESULTS: This study found a total of 837 publications originating from 51 countries and 1006 institutions. These articles were published in 393 journals. The United States was the country that produced the most articles focused on SGB, and the University of California, Los Angeles was the institution associated with the greatest number of publications. The anesthesiology and cardiology journals surveyed for this study published the most articles and received the most citations. Among the authors whose works were examined, Kitajima T had the greatest number of published articles, and Lipov E was the most frequently cited co-author. Five main domains of SGB research included electrical storm and refractory ventricular arrhythmia, breast cancer and climacteric medicine, post-traumatic stress disorder, pain management, and cerebrovascular diseases. The latest hot topics involving this field focused on SGB’s anti-arrhythmic and anti-cerebral vasospasm effects and its treatment of long COVID syndrome. LIMITATIONS: Data were retrieved only from the WoSCC; therefore, publications in other databases might have been missed. CONCLUSION: This comprehensive bibliometric analysis conducted a complete overview of SGB research, which was helpful in furthering our understanding of research trends and locating research hot spots and gaps in this domain. This field is developing rapidly and will garner significant and continuous attention from future scholars.
