Crime in Tourism: A Systematic Literature Review and Bibliometric Analysis

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.

A systemic framework for Enterprise Resource Planning systems: A bibliometric networking analysis

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.

Postponement, which refers to the delay of the final configuration and/or forward movement of goods until the consumer requests are received, is an important strategy to increase agility and flexibility of production and logistics systems. This study aims to carry out a bibliometric analysis and a systematic review of relevant literature on postponement strategy. Bibliometrics was applied as a quantitative technique using the Web of Science database and the CiteSpace software. As for the qualitative analysis, a systematic review of selected publications was carried out. In the first search in the Web of Science, 1,670 publications were identified, and after successive refinements, a dataset of 53 articles was selected. The bibliometric analysis allowed the selection of journals, authors, and prominent publications in the area, which enabled the construction of citation and co-citation maps. The systematic review allowed the identification of topics, main contributions, and methods used in the selected articles.

PurposeThis study aims to intersect corporate entrepreneurship (CE) as a construct with two leadership theories, agile leadership management (ALM) and complexity leadership theory (CLT), to develop further a conceptual model representing the relationship through scientific review and bibliometric analysis. The said leadership styles discussed here are essential for CE to grow, and therefore, this study aims to contribute to a firm’s survival in the circular economy.Design/methodology/approachThis paper uses a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis as research design. A total of 74 studies were included from the Scopus database in this review based on a specific inclusion–exclusion criterion and were analysed using VOS Viewer and MS-Excel.FindingsThis research found that agile leadership and complexity leadership framework contributed positively to the generation and promotion of CE in firms and created a conceptual model for the same. Also, a complementary bibliometric and keyword analysis of the included studies is presented.Research limitations/implicationsThe study’s primary limitation lies in the limited number of studies included in the review. Also, the conceptual model proposed is subject to further empirical testing; moreover, both ALM and CLT impact CE and other business environment factors that can guide future research.Practical implicationsThis study gives insights into the significance of CE and leadership style through a systematic literature review in designing the conceptual model. This research will be a significant contribution to leadership and entrepreneurship. This research can guide many leadership styles in developing strategies for a sustainable organization model by boosting CE to tackle economic challenges such as a circular economy.Social implicationsThis study conceptual model can be used for developing a sustainable organizational model using leadership as a mediating factor to survive in a continuous changing environment.Originality/valueThe two leadership styles included in this study are relatively new, and research has been on the boom for the past decade. There has been little research on the interplay of these leadership styles on CE.

PurposeThis paper conducts a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of Machine Learning (ML) in Supply Chain Management through bibliometric and network analysis, the authors are able to grasp key features of the contemporary literature. The study makes use of state-of-the-art analytical framework based on a unified approach to reveal insights from the present body of knowledge and the potentials for future research developments.Design/methodology/approachUnlike standard literature reviews, in SLR, a structured approach is followed. The approach enables utilizing contemporary tools and software packages such as R-package “bibliometrix” and Gephi for exploratory and visual analytics. A number of clustering methods are employed to form clusters. Later, multivariate analysis methodologies are adopted to determine the dominant clusters for the influential co-cited references.FindingsUsing contemporary tools from Bibliometric Analysis (BA), the authors identify in an exploratory analysis, the influential authors, sources, regions, affiliations and papers. In addition, the use of network analysis tools reveals research clusters, topological analysis, key research topics, interrelation and authors’ collaboration along with their patterns. Finally, the optimum number of clusters computed for cluster analysis is decided using a systematic procedure based on multivariate analysis such as k-means and factor analysis.Originality/valueModern-day supply chains increasingly depend on developing superior insights from large amounts of data available from diverse sources in unstructured and semi-structured formats. In order to maintain a competitive edge, the supply chains need to perform speedy analysis of big data using efficient tools that provide real-time decision-making insights. Such an analysis necessitates automated processing using intelligent ML algorithms. Through a BA followed by a detailed data visualization in a network analysis enabled grasping key features of the contemporary literature. The analysis is based on 155 documents from the period 2008 to 2018 selected using a systematic selection procedure.

This study aims to explore inquiry-based experiments' educational aspects, levels of inquiry, and contributions to sustainability literacy. In this study, a systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis were used. A systematic literature review in this study used a PRISMA flow diagram, and the bibliometric analysis was conducted using VOS Viewer. Using systematic literature review 79 articles were analyzed, focusing on three main aspects: pedagogy/education, levels of inquiry, and sustainability literacy. A bibliometric analysis was also used in this study. A RIS format of articles was compiled and then used for the bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer. The bibliometric analysis focused on network overlay, density visualization, and author and co-author relationships. The results of this study indicate that inquiry-based experiments significantly enhance students' understanding of scientific concepts, motivation, and essential scientific skills such as hypothesis formulation, experiment design, data collection, and analysis. This literature review also reveals a gap in integrating sustainability literacy into inquiry-based experiments. Although some studies have incorporated green chemistry principles and real-world applications, only a few explicitly promote sustainability literacy. This underscores an opportunity for future research to design inquiry-based experiments that more directly address sustainability literacy.

The purpose of this paper is to conduct a systematic literature review on regional smart specialisation strategies, through a bibliometric and systematic analysis, combining performance analysis and scientific mapping to detect and visualise the concurrent subdomains and their evolution over time, pointing out future lines of research. The methodology of this systematic review is based on three phases: (1) database search, (2) bibliometric analysis, and (3) systematic analysis. In the first phase, the PRISMA protocol is used and publications are obtained from the Web of Science and Scopus databases. In the bibliometric analysis, the performance analysis and scientific mapping are carried out, using the R Studio software (version 4.02), using the biblioshiny with the bibliometrix package. The systematic analysis is based not only on the results obtained in the bibliometric analysis, but also on the methodological and content information taken from the publications. This article analyses and relates four clusters—knowledge, policy, innovation, specialization—indicated by the strategic diagram and trend topics, and 15 ‘themes’: policy, innovation, knowledge, priorities, systems, institutions, entrepreneurial discovery process, diversification, related variety, clusters, multi-level governance, helix model, competitive advantage, geography, and six critical questions. The paper systematizes the literature, filling a gap on the experience gained from the implementation of these strategies in the regional, addressing the critical questions and challenges that have arisen during their implementation in this context.

PurposeAlthough past studies have reviewed the role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in corporate finance, growing realization on the influence of contextual variables has necessitated re-examination in light of unique situational settings. Given that India presents a distinctive context, this study aims to map, synthesize and evaluate the Indian literature on corporate ESG and its role in financial management.Design/methodology/approachThe study adopts a combination of qualitative and quantitative techniques. Using systematic procedures, 101 documents are selected from the Scopus database, and a bibliometric analysis, including performance analyses of prominent journals, publication trends and authors, is conducted along with keyword co-occurrence and bibliometric coupling analysis using the VOSviewer software. Additionally, an in-depth systematic literature review using content analysis is undertaken to consolidate insights from the selected corpus based on the theory–context–methodology framework.FindingsPublication trend analyses indicate a growing interest in the topic, while the bibliometric analysis leads to three thematic areas: the ESG–financial performance link, CSR reporting and disclosure and determinants of ESG; representing the foci of the extant literature. The content analysis reveals various theoretical and methodological gaps, which present opportunities as avenues for future research – while also underscoring the need for more granular and diversified research in the Indian context.Originality/valueThis study is among the first to use both a systematic content analytical review and bibliometric analysis techniques to examine the impact of ESG on corporate finance in India. This study addresses the need for context-based ESG research and presents a wide perspective on the ESG–corporate finance nexus while also undertaking a detailed analysis of the extant literature. This work is the first of its kind in the known field, and is expected to provide significant informative value to a variety of stakeholders and decision-makers.

Background: Systematic literature review (SLR) is increasingly utilized to maximize the element of rigor and minimize the individual bias of research synthesis. An analysis of the Web of Science (WoS) database indicates that 90% of the literature review studies using SLR have been published between 2012 and 2022. However, this progressive agenda is impaired by the lack of methodological consistency and rigorousness. To fill this gap, this paper aims at mapping the theoretical comprehension and practices of SLR and providing a stepwise approach to employing such a framework. Methods: A comprehensive narrative review is used in this paper to analyze the studies concerning the literature review typology and the structural assessment of the SLR. Furthermore, the methodological approach of the literature review studies that adopted the SLR and were published in the Logistics journal is assessed across a set of vital criteria associated with conducting an SLR. Results: There is a concrete link between the purpose of a review, i.e., to describe, test, extend, or critique, and the literature review type. There are 17 distinct literature review types, e.g., a narrative review, a bibliometric analysis, etc., which must be justified meticulously regardless of the SLR. The ambiguity in conceiving the SLR either as a toolkit or a review type, the lack of justification regarding the review purpose and type, and vague conceptual distinguishment between the bibliometric analysis, as a distinct review type, and the SLR framework, are only a few of the shortcomings observed in the analyzed papers. Conclusions: Given the significant role of SLR in elevating the element of rigor within the literature review studies, it is deemed essential to employ this framework by paying attention to two holistic factors: (1) theoretical distinction between the literature review purpose, the literature review type, and the SLR; (2) strict adherence to the SLR procedure with a high degree of accuracy and explicitness.

PurposeThis paper aims to provide insight into the evolving relationship between humans and machines, understanding its multifaceted impact on our lifestyle and landscape in the past as well as in the present, with implications for the near future. It uses bibliometric analysis combined with a systematic literature review to identify themes, trace historical developments and offer a direction for future human–machine interactions (HMIs).Design/methodology/approachTo provide thorough coverage of publications from the previous four decades, the first section presents a text-based cluster bibliometric analysis based on 305 articles from 2,293 initial papers in the Scopus and Web of Science databases produced between 1984 and 2022. The authors used VOS viewer software to identify the most prominent themes through cluster identification. This paper presents a systematic literature review of 63 qualified papers using the PRISMA framework.FindingsNext, the systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis revealed four major historical themes and future directions. The results highlight four major research themes for the future: from Taylorism to advanced technologies; machine learning and innovation; Industry 4.0, Society 5.0 and cyber–physical system; and psychology and emotions.Research limitations/implicationsThere is growing anxiety among humankind that in the future, machines will overtake humans to replace them in various roles. The current study investigates the evolution of HMIs from their historical roots to Society 5.0, which is understood to be a human-centred society. It balances economic advancement with the resolution of social problems through a system that radically integrates cyberspace and physical space. This paper contributes to research and current limited knowledge by identifying relevant themes and offering scope for future research directions. A close look at the analysis posits that humans and machines complement each other in various roles. Machines reduce the mechanical work of human beings, bringing the elements of humanism and compassion to mechanical tasks. However, in the future, smart innovations may yield machines with unmatched dexterity and capability unthinkable today.Originality/valueThis paper attempts to explore the ambiguous and dynamic relationships between humans and machines. The present study combines systematic review and bibliometric analysis to identify prominent trends and themes. This provides a more robust and systematic encapsulation of this evolution and interaction, from Taylorism to Society 5.0. The principles of Taylorism are extended and redefined in the context of HMIs, especially advanced technologies.

Purpose This study aims to compare up-to-date research on Basel III implementation between commercial and Islamic banks in both developed and developing countries. The research examines the five main variables (capital, liquidity, lending growth, size of banks and performance) used in studies listed in the Scopus database, using bibliometric analysis and a systematic literature review (SLR) as methodologies to map the research landscape and synthesize the results of existing literature on the subject. The findings clarify that most differences in the results of previous studies relate to the impact of Basel III on capital and the size of banks, whether at the country level or based on the type of bank. However, most studies illustrate a positive effect of implementing Basel III regulations on lending growth and liquidity, regardless of the type of bank or the level of the country. Overall, the impact of Basel III on performance shows a positive result for all studies on commercial banks in developed and developing countries, except for one study that found a negative effect. Design/methodology/approach This study used a bibliometric analysis and SLR as a methodology to map the research landscape domain and compare current trends of Implementation Basel III between commercial and Islamic banks in the literature. Findings The finding clarified that most differences in the results of previous studies were regarding the impact of Basel III on capital and the size of banks, whether at the level of the country or the type of bank. However, most studies illustrate a positive effect of implementing Basel III regulations regarding lending growth and liquidity, whether by type of banks or level of the country. Overall, the impact of Basel III on performance shows a positive result for all studies on commercial banks in developed and developing countries, except for one study that found a negative effect. Originality/value By using bibliometric analysis and an SLR, this study uniquely synthesizes existing literature while highlighting notable disparities in outcomes based on bank type and country context. In addition, it emphasizes the need for tailored regulatory frameworks that account for the specific characteristics of different banking institutions, particularly small and medium-sized banks. This nuanced approach not only contributes to the academic discourse but also offers practical insights for policymakers and practitioners, addressing gaps in current research and proposing future directions for investigation.

Objective To study the development and research progress of community nursing for the elderly, and provide a meaningful theoretical and practical reference. Methods A systematic literature review methods was adopted to collect, evaluate, and synthesize the research literatures on community nursing for the elderly, a database was setup using SPSS18.0 software. Analysis on the literatures published time trend,distribution of authors, journals, research topic, research methodology etc was carried out to provide an overall scan on the existing research literatures on community nursing for the elderly and look forward to put forward theoretical and practical references for researchers, policy - makers, and community nursing professionals. 494 original articles were searched preliminarily. In order to ensure accuracy of literatures and avoid the bias of unrelated literatures, we excluded literatures as follows: First, remove the notice of meeting, communication reports, call for papers, etc and only select academic research literature; second, eliminate duplications of one research paper to ensure that only copy was introduced into the analysis. Eventually 462 Chinese literatures were included. SPSS18.0 software was used to conduct descriptive and influencing factors analysis. Results The annual publications of the related literatures increased rapidly with the time. Most research subject was focused on consumers of the community nursing services, especially on the elderly and patients with chronic diseases.Majority of the literatures came from academic journals. The most research methodologies adopted by the literatures were cross - sectional survey and theoretical exploring discussion or literatures reviews. There was little even zero research literature on hospice services in community, which should be given more research attention in the future. Literatures citation and download frequency were analyzed. The influencing factors on the citation were associated with publishing time, academic level of journals published and research content.Publishing time was the negative factor and academic level of journals was a positive factors influencing on thecitation frequency of literature. Conclusions The numbers of elderly community nursing literature showed an increasing trend with the year, but imbalance existed in different research topics. Research on community hospices nursing, allocation on community nursing human resources, continues education, professional training,and qualification of community nurses, etc should be given more attention. High quality academic literature has more possibility published on core of dual - core journals. The academic journals was an important communication platform for research, they should also take active measures to encourage more health care workers and researchers to published high quality investigation and intervention research, and qualitative research, and timely report their research achievements, thereby to promote the development of community nursing research and practices. Key words: Community nursing for the elderly; Systematic literature review; Bibliometric analysis

This article maps research trends, key contributors, and thematic structures of the 4Cs—communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity—within Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), while synthesizing experimental efforts to enhance these skills. It addresses a documented gap by combining bibliometric performance analysis and science mapping (RQ1–RQ6) with a systematic review of intervention studies (RQ7). A total of 3,246 documents were obtained, of which 1,655 documents were analyzed bibliometrically, and 32 documents were analyzed through a systematic literature review after screening and applying inclusion/exclusion criteria. The 4Cs–TVET research shows a continuous surge with “communication skills” as the driving theme and creativity relatively unexplored, indicating a thematic focus that still leans toward social competencies. In general, 4Cs–TVET research involves many researchers from various institutions and countries, showing that this research has become a global focus. However, the findings indicate that participation is concentrated in developed and middle-income countries, whereas least developed countries (LDCs) remain underrepresented in this research area. Experimental efforts to improve the 4Cs are spread across five approaches (technology/online, collaborative-interprofessional, gamification, project-based/active learning, simulation), but 56.25% target only one skill—collaboration being the most dominant—and only 6.25% integrate all 4Cs, indicating the need for more holistic intervention design.
