In this article, a bibliometric analysis is conducted by means of VOSviewer software to put forward the bibliometric view of academic works on political advertising in Web of Science and Scopus databases. In this direction, general data regarding the publications in the databases as well as citation, co-authorship, and bibliographic coupling maps of the publications are presented. In this way, the study aims to see the place of political advertising studies in other academic works. The data related to the publications were collected from Web of Science and Scopus databases on 31.07.2024. While the first political advertising publication indexed in Scopus was published in 1972; the first publication on the topic was published in Web of Science in 1976. Hence, whereas the analyses in relation to Scopus database cover the dates between 1972 and 31.07.2024; the analyses related to Web of Science database cover the dates between 1976 and 31.07.2024. There are 868 detected publications in total on the topic in Scopus, whereas there are 739 in Web of Science between those dates. Analyzes indicate that the data in both databases considerably put forward consistent results with each other.

Family is an integral part of society in all cultures and time periods. Its mission is to raise the next generation, which will be able to continue and further develop knowledge and experience of the previous generation. The modern history of family entrepreneurship in Czech Republic restarted back in 1989, i.e., straight after the fall of the communist regime and restoration of the democratic system. People went into business with enthusiasm and the most successful ones among then now stand on the verge of generation handover. The literature review prepared using the desk-research method is mainly based on foreign professional sources – monographic publications, scientific articles published in professional magazines, accessed from Proquest, Web of Science, Ebsco, Scopus and some other databases. The objective of our quantitative research was to evaluate, based on parameter E (Experience), the generational representation of family members in relation to leadership and ownership of businesses. Quantitative research was based on the use of statistical and graphical data processing methods, including SPSS software, applied for the authors’ own empirical investigation based on the international methodology of family company review through the F-PEC scale, the Experience parameter (Astrachan et al., 2002). It was shown that accumulation of business experience in business families is still mainly concentrated on the founding generation of entrepreneurs. In the conclusion of the paper, deduction and generalisation methods have been applied.

The objective of this article is: a) to identify Peruvian researchers with high, medium and low impact factor according to Web of Science and Scopus databases; b) to identify the bibliometric factor with the highest influence on h-index of Peruvian esearchers; c) to compare h-index between Web of Science and Scopus, at an individual and institutional level. Data were collected from Web of Science and Scopus (189 Peruvian researchers, 28 institutions on Web of Science and 33 on Scopus), between September 1823, 2013. Then, institutional registries were created and linear regression analysis with stepwise procedure was run to identify bibliometric factors with higher influence on the h-index of Peruvian researchers. Web of Science and Scopus showed interesting simmilarities in the h-index of Peruvian academic institutions. At individual level, documents indexed in citation database had the highest influence on the h-index. Regression model identified bibliometric factors with higher influence on the h-index of Peruvian researchers, however further large scale studies are needed to improve external validity.

PURPOSE: This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of scholarly research focusing on using quantitative methods and particularly structural equation modeling (SEM) in management and economics studies, as well as provide a bibliometric agenda including the time horizon of individual publications, the highest citation rate, geographic and industry areas, methodological context, and keywords. METHODOLOGY: A systematic literature review (SLR) was undertaken using the Web of Science and Scopus databases. We limited our search to the last five years to identify the newest research publications, and we used keywords related to quantitative research while excluding qualitative research. Then we analyzed papers related to SEM and those published in English. FINDINGS: Our results confirmed that quantitative methods are used both in management and economics research, and showed a growing trend in the number of publications in the last five years. However, there are many more publications on management than on economics as well as there are more papers published in the Scopus database than Web of Science. Taking into account structural equation modeling, this method is used primarily in management research. In terms of industry, publications using SEM considered both single- and multi-industry including, first, all Asian countries and then African ones. Publications, especially in the management field, are descriptive in nature and based on primary data collected using a survey questionnaire. Papers are published in various journals and the most cited are those published in journals with wider subject areas. IMPLICATIONS: The systematic literature review is a fundamental necessity in any field of knowledge, benefiting both academia and learners. Our results may be useful for future researchers planning research using quantitative methods, especially SEM, in the business or economic field, by indicating the most cited papers and journals as well as industry and country areas. ORIGINALITY AND VALUE: This paper represents a systematic attempt to link quantitative methods, with a particular emphasis on SEM, with research interests on managerial and economic subjects and papers published in the Web of Science and Scopus databases. Employing the bibliometric analysis within the systematic literature review, the paper shows interest and the current state of research using quantitative methods which proves its value and originality.

For long time a quantitative assessment of the productivity of Italian researchers has been lacking; the first and unique assessment was the Three-Year Research Evaluation for the period 2001-2003. Italian Law 240/2010, ruling the organization of research and universities, requires a system for the evaluation of the scientific productivity of Italian researchers. In 2011, both the National Agency for the Evaluation of Universities and Research Institutes (ANVUR) and the National University Council (CUN) proposed a set of evaluation criteria based on a bibliometric approach with indexes calculated using the information from the Thomson Reuters Web of Science (WOS) or the Elsevier SciVerse SCOPUS databases. The aim of this study is twofold: (i) to present the results of an assessment of the global aggregated scientific productivity of the Italian forestry community for 1996-2010 using the SCOPUS data available from the on-line SCIMAGO system; and (ii) to compare the WOS and SCOPUS databases with respect to three indexes (number of publications, number of citations, h-index) of the scientific productivity for university forest researchers in Italy. Two subcategories of forestry were considered: AGR05 - forest management and silviculture, and AGR06 - wood technology. Out of a total of 84 authors, 76 were considered in the analysis because not affected by unresolved homonymity or duplication. Overall, the trend in scientific productivity for Italian forestry is promising. Italy ranked 10th in terms of the h-index with an increasing trend in importance relative to other European countries, though the scientific contribution of authors was largely heterogeneous. Both WOS and SCOPUS databases were suitable sources of information for evaluating the scientific productivity of Italian authors. Although the two databases did not produce meaningful differences for any of the three indexes, the advantages and disadvantages of the two sources must be carefully considered if used operationally to evaluate the Italian scientific productivity.

This study explores the relationship between ESG controversies and corporate financial performance, focusing on key trends, influential contributions, and dominant theoretical frameworks and research methods in this area. It aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the evolving research landscape and its associated implications. It conducts a systematic literature review utilizing PRISMA protocols along with bibliometric and content analyses. Data were extracted from the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases, resulting in a final selection of 37 high‐quality articles published between 2004 and 2024. The analysis identified stakeholder, legitimacy, and agency theories as the most frequently used theoretical frameworks. Results reveal a significant increase in publications since 2022, with ESG controversies affecting corporate financial performance through financial risks and reputational challenges. Key gaps include limited sector‐specific research, short‐term financial measures, the dominance of quantitative methodologies, and the incorporation of emerging technologies. The study is limited to the WoS and Scopus databases, focusing on peer‐reviewed articles in English. It highlights opportunities for future research in emerging markets, sector‐specific studies, and integrative qualitative and mixed‐method approaches. The findings emphasize the importance of board independence and corporate social responsibility initiatives in addressing ESG controversies. Companies should align their corporate governance structures with ESG strategies to improve transparency, stakeholder trust, and financial resilience. This study offers a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of ESG controversies and corporate financial performance, providing valuable insights for academics, practitioners, and policymakers to explore this research area.

DeFi blockchain technology, known as decentralized finance today, separates from the traditional financial ecosystem and ushers the new financial landscape onto digital platforms. In decentralized financial applications, all digital assets are safeguarded by blockchain technology. Thanks to this technology, investors can transfer their financial assets without being dependent on banking authorities. Despite the numerous advantages they bring, financial assets based on the decentralized finance ecosystem come with certain disadvantages. These assets are difficult to control, easily manipulated, and are at risk due to their vulnerability to cyberattacks. This study conducted bibliometric analyses on a total of 930 publications registered in the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases using the VOSviewer program. In both databases, “all fields” were filtered and scanned with the keyword “decentralized finance.” According to the results, the Scopus database has much richer content compared to the WoS database. The most cited author in the Scopus database was Chen Y, while in the WoS database, it was Nakomoto S. There has been a significant increase in the number of publications in both databases since 2020. Additionally, it was detected that the most cited countries in both databases were the USA, China and England, respectively. It has been observed that computer science comes to the fore in the publication rankings. Decentralized finance is an interdisciplinary field of study. Therefore, many more qualified hybrid studies are needed. More studies are needed, especially examining investor behavior. The analyses presented in this article will enable researchers to grasp the bigger picture from a holistic perspective.

This study aims to evaluate 16,891 academic publications in the field of cinema between 1980 and 2024 using bibliometric analysis and topic modeling methods. Based on data obtained from the Web of Science (WOS) and Scopus databases, bibliometric findings were received, including the distribution of publications by year, the annual number and rate of citations per article, the most productive authors in the field, the production status of authors over time, the countries of authors and the number of articles they published, and the journals with the highest number of publications. Data obtained from the Web of Science (WOS) and Scopus databases were also used to identify prominent word groups and themes in the articles using text mining and Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling. As a result of the analysis, 12 main themes emerged based on word-text relationships and the weight of publications. The findings show that cinema studies have developed with increasing momentum over the years and that there has been a growing focus on certain topics. This study systematically examines the development of cinema studies literature through descriptive content analysis and LDA topic modeling. In this respect, it is important in that it systematically reveals the structural and thematic transformation of academic production in the field of cinema and provides a theoretical and methodological basis for future research. It also makes a current and multidimensional contribution to the discipline in terms of revealing the increasingly important digital trends, cultural representations, and interdisciplinary developments in cinema studies.

Purpose/Thesis: Many countries increasingly use bibliographic databases while devising new scientific policies to analyze and diagnose the state of a scientific discipline. Previous studies on the suitability of data from Web of Science and Scopus databases for this purpose gave ambiguous results. Their authors did not always account for an important issue – the quality of data from these databases. The aim of the article is to analyze the quality of data downloaded in an automated manner from the resources of the mentioned databases.Approach/Methods: The author used a qualitative method of data verification which consisted of automatic acquisition of data about journals from the Web of Science and Scopus databases, and then in their qualitative analysis. The analysis consisted of a comparison of data on journals repre­senting of library and information science (LIS) retrieved from both databases and of the comparison between the qualitative data taken from the studied databases and the data from other, domain focused bibliographic databases; of comparing the acquired data with the information available on the websites of indexed journals and of the comparison of the method used by the producers of the abovementioned databases used to classify the journals as related of LIS, with the thematic scope of the discipline, as agreed upon by scholars.Results and conclusions: It was found that in the case of the examined discipline, automated data acquiring poses a risk of obtaining a low credibility set of data. Most problems are caused by the incompleteness of data and errors in disciplinary classifying journals, articles and authors.Originality/Value: It was shown that, contrary to the claims of the decision-makers of Polish science, in its present form, the studied bibliographic databases have only negligible usefulness for monitoring the state and development tendencies of LIS. Methodological problems created by both databases, presented in this article, may also have an impact on generating a reliable and objective picture of other scientific disciplines. The changes in the sphere of the functioning of WoS and Scopus, apparent for several years, have not dealt with the already existing problems and inconveniences.

Purpose The study aims to identify trends, methodologies, theory development, factors influencing Zakat compliance behaviour, lessons for Zakat institutions and potential future research directions. Design/methodology/approach This study conducted a bibliometric and systematic literature review, along with content analysis, to address the research objectives by extracting data from the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases (2009–2025). The authors used the SLR method through the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses model. Based on the established inclusion and exclusion criteria, the authors identified a final set of 34 articles related to the topic, which were subsequently reviewed and analysed. Findings The findings indicate the research trends in Zakat compliance behaviour in the Scopus and WoS databases from 2009–2025, with significant growth observed in 2018. The leading source titles primarily include the Journal of Islamic Accounting and Business Research, the International Journal of Ethics and Systems and the Jurnal Pengurusan. Furthermore, quantitative methods and the extended Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) model are mostly used to measure the determinants of Zakat compliance behaviour. The most significant determinants of Zakat compliance behaviour include religiosity, trust, Zakat knowledge, beliefs (perceived taqwa), peer influence, attitudes, subjective norms (SN) and perceived behavioural control (PBC). These findings also offer valuable insights for Zakat institutions to achieve the objectives of an Islamic economic system, social welfare and SDG 1 (no poverty). Research limitations/implications This study teaches Zakat institutions to build good governance and marketing strategies for Zakat in a digital context. The government also needs to provide regulations for the Zakat system to support economic development. The study provides insights into the literature on Zakat compliance behaviour, contributing to the advancement of research on Zakat compliance in Muslim countries. Originality/value This study is the earlier exploration of the factors determining Zakat compliance behaviour using a systematic literature review method and content analysis from the Scopus and WoS databases.

Scientometric analysis should be given great heed in university and research centers for various research and educational reasons. This study aimed to carry out a scientometirc analysis of Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Medical Imaging articles authored by Iranian researchers and published in journals indexed in the Web of Science and Scopus databases from 2001 to 2016. This is a cross-sectional descriptive study in which as many as 3335 documents authored by Iranian researchers were identified on the two citation databases using field-specific keywords. HistCite™, MS Excel and VOSviewer™ were used to analyze the data. The study discovered that in terms of publications in both citation databases, Iran is almost among the top 30 countries in quantitative and qualitative studies. Iran's contribution was, however, very low in both web of Science (0.32%) and Scopus (0.52%). It was found that “Iranian Journal of Radiation Research” and “Iranian Journal of Radiology” are indexed in both databases; Tehran University of Medical Sciences and University of Tehran are also the most contributing institutions in the databases. According to the findings of the study, it is recommended that Iranian researchers increase their scientific cooperation with researchers from other leading countries in these fields including the United States, Japan and Germany to gain a better quantity and quality of publications.

Long-term cultural trends of increasing fragility of partnerships, changing gender roles and the culture of childhood create a situation in which forms of shared parenting are becoming increasingly relevant. This review study aims to make available to the Czech audience a summary of foreign research on the impact of post-divorce/separation arrangements on children, with particular emphasis on those forms in which the child alternates between parents’ households. In peer-reviewed articles from Web of Science, Scopus, J-Stor, Springer, and similar databases, we first sought to answer the question of what negative and positive consequences household turnover produces. A review of the relevant literature shows that the assumption of an overall negative effect of alternating care is not consistent with the results of most analyses. Rather, the comparisons show the opposite, i.e. a predominance of positive consequences of shared custody, but modified by circumstances. Therefore, we next focus on papers that examine the most important intervening factors, which are parental conflict, the status of the family of origin, and the parents’ new partnerships. Detailed research in this area shows that only in families with significantly negative circumstances (extensive and chronic conflict, economic deprivation etc.) can the negatives of the circumstances outweigh the benefits of contact with both parents that shared custody generally brings. In the conclusion of the text, we summarize the findings from foreign sources, discuss their transferability to the Czech environment and, based on the literature, suggest areas that should be addressed in an effort to deepen this field of research.
