The objective of the work was to determine the research trends and carry out a bibliometric analysis of publications concerning the application of the computational intelligence method in the research area renewable energy sources optimization. In this study the Scopus database has been used as a data source. Articles and conference papers published in the years 2011–2017 were analysed. The research consists of two research tasks: bibliometric quantitative analysis and bibliometric thematic analysis of publications. On the basis of the analyses conducted, one can state that: In years 2011–2017, the number of scientific publications regarding RES optimisation, indexed in the Scopus database, increased by 340%. However, it does not mean that optimisation studies become prevailing, since the number of RES-related publications increased as well (by 199%). A percentage share of publications concerning RES optimisation, in relation to all publications dedicated to RES, grew in years 2011–2017 by 177%. The authors of the highest number of publications (in the set of articles and conference materials searched, for years 2011–2017) were researchers from the USA, China, India and Italy. The majority of the studies described in the publications set concerned optimisation of solar energy and wind energy systems, often hybrid systems. For optimisation by means of artificial intelligence computational methods, algorithms belonging to a group of Evolutionary Computations (mainly Genetic Algorithms) and Swarm Intelligence (especially PSO) were applied most frequently. Neural networks and fuzzy systems were applied three times less frequently. The authors suggest new optimisation algorithms combining several artificial intelligence methods.

This paper presents the strategy of Diponegoro University to increase its research productivity towards the world-class university. Bibliometric indicators are employed to characterize the research activities of Diponegoro University, Indonesia with production in the period of 2014-2018 in publications that are indexed in the Scopus database. The number of documents and their comparison with other universities, and productive authors are of particular interest. The results reflect that the university documents improve significantly during the research time frame. In comparison with other top ten universities in Indonesia, for the last five years, Diponegoro University has achieved the fastest rate of publication (up to 471%). However, compared to other universities in neighboring countries, Diponegoro University is still left behind. In addition, it is shown that prolific authors contributing to documents in Scopus are uneven in terms of origin of faculty. Based on these results, a recommendation with respect to the research productivity is discussed in this paper.

The increasing diffusion of geographic information systems (GIS) in the domain of evacuation and disaster management, depicts the contributions and efforts of the countries in risk reduction. It has been witnessed in the last decade the global challenges and impacts caused by natural hazards and climate risk. One of these challenges is to evacuate the exposure community promptly and efficiently, these impacts either are predicted or non-predicted, which shows the lack of understanding of these hazards or mitigation tools and strategies for risk reduction. This study aims to explore the publications in the evacuation domain of multi-hazards using Geographic Information System (GIS) as a decision-making tool, as this domain was found only between 1996 and 2022. The researchers focused only on the Scopus database platform using the VOSviewer to apply the bibliometric analyses to understand the evolution and development of these domains. Different bibliometric analysis such as citation, co-authorship, co-occurrence, and co-citation were performed on different units of analysis. The outcome of the bibliometric analysis will support future researchers to build their road map and develop this domain based on a solid database of the current bibliometric analysis.

The article provides a bibliometric analysis of publications on the queries of "illegal import operations" and illegal export operations during 1984-2021. Emphasis was placed on Scopus as it is the largest bibliographic database in the world, representing over 21,000 international scientific publishing houses. The work is devoted to the study of the application of bibliographic analysis as a quantitative approach in assessing the documentary and informational workflow, which makes it possible to carry out a formalized analysis of the results of scientific activity quite accurately. The main results demonstrate an increase the topic interest of illegal export-import operations in different social and economic areas and in different countries. The analysis of publications proves the lack of a literature review on the topic with the keywords illegal import operations and illegal export operations. It has also been found that bibliometric analysis is an effective tool that can be used for literature reviews across all branches of the social and economic sciences. The results obtained in this study provide additional information on the development of the topic of illegal export-import operations, sources of publications, and their dynamics, as well as justification for the development of a literature review as an obligatory part of scientific articles on the topic under study. Keywords: bibliometric analysis; Scopus database; illegal import transactions; illegal export transactions.
