Technological Unemployment in Terms of Global Labor Market Imbalances: A Bibliometric Analysis

The current society, known as the supersmart society or Society 5.0, emerged in response to the Fourth Industrial Revolution. also known as Industry 4.0 (I4.0), which arose with the development of different technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Big Data Analytics (BDA), among others. Based on the report “Future of Jobs Report 2023” the most affectin g macro trend in driving business transformation is the increased adoption of new and frontier technologies with an 86.2% rate. I4.0 significantly changed production processes and manufacturing systems, transforming firms into smart factories. One of the consequences of the I4.0 revolution is technological unemployment (TU). This paper aims to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the literature on Industry 4.0 (I4.0) and Technological Unemployment (TU) within the 2015-2024 timeframe, with a particular focus on their impact on labor market imbalances (LMI). Through a bibliometric analysis, the study will assess performance metrics, including the publication and citation performance of authors, institutions, countries, and journals. Additionally, the research will visualize and critically examine bibliometric citation outcomes, including cited references. To achieve this, we adopted a quantitative approach and employed a confirmatory-explicative research method to elucidate Technological Unemployment (TU) within the context of Industry 4.0 (I4.0) transformations and confirm its implications on Labor Market Imbalances (LMI). Bibliometric analysis was used to discern data patterns, trends, and relationships within the literature. Our findings revealed several significant trends, notably job polarization, income inequality, and TU. We determined that the effects of I4.0 on employment are not universally negative; in some cases, technological investments enhance employment rates by creating new professions and job opportunities. Our analysis also indicated that occupations requiring human judgment, decision-making, creativity, and innovation exhibit resilience to technological advancements.

Bibliometric analysis of the top 100 most-cited articles concerning the use of propolis in dentistry

Aim: The objective of this bibliometric analysis was to identify and analyze the key characteristics of the 100 most-cited articles related to the use of propolis in dentistry. Methods: The search was conducted in the Web of Science Core Collection, and two independent reviewers selected the articles, excluding meeting articles. The number of citations for each article was compared across the Scopus and Google Scholar databases. The extracted data included the number and density of citations, year of publication, journal and impact factor, study design and theme, country and continent, institution, keywords, and authors. VOSviewer software was employed to generate collaborative network maps. Spearman correlation and Poisson regression analyses were performed on the data. Results: The number of citations ranged from 26 to 247, with a citation density varying between 1.08 and 20.00. Articles were published between 1991 and 2021, with laboratory studies (70%) and antimicrobial activity (39%) being the most prevalent study design and theme, respectively. The most discussed dental specialty was microbiology (49%). Rosalen PL (27%) emerged as the author with the highest number of articles, and the University of Campinas (Brazil) was the most prolific institution. Poisson regression indicated a declining trend in citations over the years, though literature reviews exhibited higher citation performance. Brazil contributed the highest percentage of articles (41%). Conclusion: In conclusion, the 100 most-cited articles predominantly comprised laboratory studies investigating the antimicrobial activity of propolis, primarily originating from Brazil, with notable emphasis on the University of Campinas.

Assessing journals through a three-dimensional framework based on article citation, author and institution influence

Journal assessment is of great significance to promote the development of academic platforms. Citation analysis is a recognised tool to assess the citation performance of journals. However, due to the shortcomings such as the inflated Journal Impact Factor and heterogeneity of the citations, additional dimensions are necessary to be considered to balance with the article citation. This article constructs a three-dimensional journal assessment framework to measure the comprehensive influence of a journal based on article citation, author and institution influence. The CRITIC-Entropy weighting method is employed to calculate the weighted average scores for the three dimensions, respectively. Then, a newly defined Pareto-dominated set-based sum of TOPSIS score (PDS-based STS) approach is developed to assess the comprehensive influence of journals. A sample of 76 journals in Economics field is selected to demonstrate the effectiveness and validity of the proposed assessment method. The Chartered Association of Business Schools’ Academic Journal Guide 2021 (CABS-AJG 2021) which is an expert-based journal rating is chosen as a baseline model. It has been found that the assessment method using PDS-based STS shows a more rational journal ranking than that based on the Journal Impact Factor if using the CABS-AJG 2021’s ratings as the benchmark model.

General laws of funding for scientific citations: how citations change in funded and unfunded research between basic and applied sciences

Abstract Purpose The goal of this study is to analyze the relationship between funded and unfunded papers and their citations in both basic and applied sciences. Design/methodology/approach A power law model analyzes the relationship between research funding and citations of papers using 831,337 documents recorded in the Web of Science database. Findings The original results reveal general characteristics of the diffusion of science in research fields: a) Funded articles receive higher citations compared to unfunded papers in journals; b) Funded articles exhibit a super-linear growth in citations, surpassing the increase seen in unfunded articles. This finding reveals a higher diffusion of scientific knowledge in funded articles. Moreover, c) funded articles in both basic and applied sciences demonstrate a similar expected change in citations, equivalent to about 1.23%, when the number of funded papers increases by 1% in journals. This result suggests, for the first time, that funding effect of scientific research is an invariant driver, irrespective of the nature of the basic or applied sciences. Originality/value This evidence suggests empirical laws of funding for scientific citations that explain the importance of robust funding mechanisms for achieving impactful research outcomes in science and society. These findings here also highlight that funding for scientific research is a critical driving force in supporting citations and the dissemination of scientific knowledge in recorded documents in both basic and applied sciences. Practical implications This comprehensive result provides a holistic view of the relationship between funding and citation performance in science to guide policymakers and R&D managers with science policies by directing funding to research in promoting the scientific development and higher diffusion of results for the progress of human society.

INVESTIGATION OF STUDIES ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE RELATED TURKEY WITH BIBLIOMETRIC METHOD AND SYSTEMATIC ANALYSIS: A LITERATURE REVIEW

Corporate governance is a tool that can be used to manage organizations more effectively and more transparently. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the importance given to corporate governance principles has increased both in the world and in Turkey. As a matter of fact, the academic literature in this field has shown an interesting development as the application has spread to a wide area. In other words, the subject of corporate governance has become increasingly common in business/management literature in recent years. In this study, 245 Turkey-related articles on corporate governance, accessed through the Web of Science database, were examined. Descriptive analysis, bibliometric analysis and systematic (thematic) analysis were used as methods, respectively. Using these three methods, literature gaps and researcher trends in this field were tried to be identified. In this regard, firstly, in the descriptive analysis, it was seen that there were not enough publications in the fields of "ethics" and "law" in Turkey-related publications. Again, it has been concluded that the number of studies on corporate governance is increasing rapidly both in Turkey and around the world. Again, within the framework of bibliometric analysis, in the visualization made with the VOSviewer program, it was found that articles related to corporate governance were especially related to the subject of "financial performance". In the study, within the framework of thematic analysis, six themes were determined and each theme was evaluated and six literature gaps were identified. In this context, it has been stated that in addition to specifically explaining the research gaps that can contribute to the literature, attention should be paid to the citation performance of possible qualitative or conceptual studies as a general evaluation.

Bank efficiency and competition: bibliometric analysis of concepts and emerging issues

Purpose This study provides a bibliometric analysis of bank efficiency and competition over the past years (from 1993 to 2022) to (1) discover the past and current state of knowledge on bank competition and efficiency, (2) identify leading and authoritative journals and scholars who made significant contributions to the distribution of knowledge and impact, (3) identify nations that made a significant contribution and impact to the literature and (4) identify the structure of collaboration that exists between scholars in the areas of bank competition and efficiency and key thematic areas.Design/methodology/approach A total number of 868 documents made up of articles, reviews, book chapters, book and conference papers from the Scopus database were gathered. This study used a bibliometric analytic approach.Findings The number of documents on bank competitiveness and efficiency has increased significantly, as have their total publications, citations and national output. Additionally, the most esteemed and prestigious academic journals of eminent academics who have had a significant impact on the dissemination of knowledge on bank efficiency and competition literature champion papers on banking efficiency and competition. In terms of citation performance and collaborative efforts, the United States tops the developed countries, led by China, which is also the most productive. Additionally, single-country publications predominate in the literature, with China ranking first among the top five countries with corresponding authors. While the Lerner index, H-statistic, concentration index and market power were used to measure bank competitive behaviour, the data envelopment analysis approach predominates efficiency estimation techniques that are linked to cost, profit or revenue, scale, technical and productivity indexes.Originality/value This study is one of the first to offer bibliometric evidence of both bank competition and efficiency. It also offers proof of the distribution of knowledge and intellectual structure of the concepts and concerns in bank competition and efficiency.

Contrimetric: Article Citation Contribution Indicator for paper impact evaluation

BackgroundThe Journal Impact Factor (JIF), generated by Eugene Garfield in 1964, is a well-known and widely accepted indicator for evaluating journal influence when scholar submit their papers to different periodicals. Different paper has its own citation performance after published online. Thus, the JIF is always changing in each year when times updates. This paper introduces a newly designed bibliometric indicator, Article Citation Contribution Indicator (ACCI), named as Contrimetric (from Contribution Metric). The indicator meets the criteria as it has special characteristics, such as easy to understand, open, innovating, and applicable to different publications. Based on the Journal Impact Factor (JIF), the ACCI is a new indicator that measures the impact of individual papers within a specific journal. Treating a journal as an independent scientific community, each paper can be viewed as a community member, with ACCI>0 indicating that the paper’s academic impact has a greater impact than the community average, while ACCI<0 indicates that the paper’s academic findings, innovations, spreading and impact are below the community average. The ACCI ranges theoretically in [-1, infinity], with ACCI=-1 for papers with zero citations after publication.Subjects and MethodsFor purpose of exploring the positive (or negative) effects of an author’s single article on the improvement of journal impact factor, we proposed the ACCI. It is defined as a specific value to calculate the contribution of a single paper to its discipline or journal, its equation is shown as below:(1) $$ACCI=\frac{c_y-{JIF}_y}{JIF_y}$$ Cy refers to the number of citations of an article in present JCR year; and JIF indicates the Journal Impact Factor in present JCR year. Then the differences between Cy and JIF taking up of the total JIF in present JCR year is the value of ACCI.Results It can be calculated that the value of ACCI is -1 when the paper has 0 citation. The value range of ACCI is theoretically in [-1,+∞). When ACCI∈[-1,0), it indicates that the article has a lower value than the average citation level or has brought negative effect on JIF; and when ACCI∈(0,+∞), it indicates that the article citations is higher than average level and has brought a positive contribution in terms of citations. Furthermore, its innovation, new discoveries contribute higher level than other papers. Hereafter, we might treat each journal as a specific scientific community in its field. Let’s have an example to compute any article. We retrieved the article as below: Abdelmageed, S. and T. Zayed, A study of literature in modular integrated construction - Critical review and future directions. Journal of Cleaner Production, 2020. 277. DOI:10.1016/j.jclepro.2020.124044. The article was published in 2020, and the total cites received in 2021 and 2022 was 13 and 24. The 2021 and 2022 Impact Factor of Journal of Cleaner Production were both 11.1, thus ACCI-1(Contributing Factor) = (13-11.1)/11.1 = +0.17, ACCI-2(Contributing Factor) = (24-11.1)/11.1 = +1.16. This paper had brought positive effect on the JIF. This paper had been higher citations in influence than others.ConclusionsThe ACCI is an important index for scholars to carry out research and academic journal editors to select proper papers. For authors, who can use ACCI to categorize articles from a particular journal or in a particular year, the articles that ACCI>0 would fell into positive group, then use other bibliometric tools to mine the specific scientific view. And for academic journal editors, the author’s citing performance can be reflected by their ACCI report. Therefore, the bibliometric index-Article Citation Contribution Indicator (ACCI) is a new article evaluation tool in bibliometrics. Each paper published in journal with JIF will have two ACCI index values, CF-1 and CF-2. The information behind CF index will bring us different analysis. It is also an indicator for university subjects evaluation, scientific research management and academic contribution measurement in some field, which is an important index reflecting the academic level of a certain discipline. The Contrimetric can be statistically used to classify articles for finding important papers and is an innovative member of the metrics family.

A Five-Year Bibliometric Analysis of Education 4.0 and Direction for Education 5.0 Future Research

Education 4.0 is a conceptual education framework for current generations. The evolution of education has continued to evolve, which in turn creates a research niche for innovation development in higher education institutions. This study aimed to analyse articles on Education 4.0 research from 2018 to 2022 using the Scopus database as well as identifying current trends in the field of education. This research examined trends in publication and citation performance, journal-related performances, most frequently cited articles, top affiliated countries, and emerging research trends. A bibliometric study was employed in achieving the objectives of the study, guided by five research questions. The study began by extracting metadata and analysing keyword co-occurrence using VOSviewer software and Microsoft Excel. Results showed that Malaysia, Mexico, and Indonesia are three of the top countries to which authors who publish about Education 4.0 research are affiliated. It was also found that there were five emerging research trends related to Education 4.0, namely (a) Education 4.0 on various educational mechanisms, features, and applications; (b) the effect of COVID-19 on the engineering education learning system and the role of Education 4.0; (c) Education 4.0 by means of modern information technologies; (d) developing a framework for innovation in Education 4.0, and (e) technology and digital transformation in Education 4.0. Two suggestions are also made for the direction of future study. Lastly, the implication of this bibliometric study on Education 4.0 informs and shapes the direction of the upcoming Education 5.0 research.

Publication performance and trends in bruxism research: A bibliometric analysis.

Bruxism is an umbrella term that encompass a multidimensional spectrum of masticatory muscle activities. The purpose of this study was to do a bibliometric analysis including citation performance in the research topic of bruxism, by using an innovative method including details of article title, author keyword, KeyWords Plus and abstracts. The data were retrieved 2022-12-19 from the Clarivate Analytics Web of Science Core Collection, and the online version of the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED) for studies published 1992 to 2021. To evaluate research trends, the distribution of keywords in the article title and author-selected keywords were used. The search yielded 3233 documents in SCI-EXPANDED, of which 2598 were of the document-type 'articles' published in 676 journals. The analysis of the articles revealed that "bruxism/sleep bruxism," "electromyography," "temporomandibular disorders" and "masticatory muscles" are the most used keywords by the authors. Further, the most frequently cited study was published 9 years ago and handles the present definition of bruxism. The most productive authors and those with the highest performance have some common features; they have several national and international collaborations; and they have published articles about the definition, aetiology/pathophysiology and prevalence of bruxism, all senior researchers in the field of TMD. Hopefully, based on this study, researchers and clinicians will have information to be stimulated to outline future research projects on bruxism-related aspects, and to initiate new international or multinational collaborations.

Relationship of Altmetric Attention Score, Twitter Performance, and Dimensions Badge Value With Traditional Metrics in Top-Cited Anterior Cruciate Ligament Research Studies.

Alternative citation metrics-such as the Altmetric Attention Score (AAS), number of tweets (TN), and dimensions badge value (DBV)-are emerging as new options for assessing the value of scientific works. To analyze the AAS of highly cited articles on the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and to assess the relationship between alternative and traditional metrics such as journal rankings and article citation performance. Cross-sectional study. A search was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection of databases with "anterior cruciate ligament" as the search term. Full-text articles published between 2011 and 2021 were reviewed, and the top 100 cited articles were determined. The articles were analyzed by publication year, study design, research topic, journal impact factor, journal h-index, number of total citations (TC), recent citations (RC) (ie, citations in the latest 2 years), and average citation per year (ACY), as well as AAS, TN, and DBV. For articles in the top 100 list, the median TC was 160 (interquartile range [IQR], 117-561) and the median AAS was 24.50 (IQR, 1-730). A higher AAS score was achieved by articles on return to sports and anterolateral ligament (P < .05). The AAS and TN were significantly and positively correlated with the RC (r = 0.459 and P = .001; r = 0.438 and P = .001, respectively) and ACY (r = 0.363 and P = .001; r = 0.393 and P = .001, respectively). Alternative metrics were linked to traditional metrics but were not a direct representation of bibliometrics. The AAS was not correlated with TC numbers in the ACL research. Higher AAS and Twitter popularity of an article were related to receiving high-volume RC performance. The DBV represented a stronger correlation with traditional metrics than the AAS.

A Bibliometric Analysis of Foreign Academics in Turkish Research Universities

Academic mobility has begun to be discussed more frequently in higher education literature with more internationalized higher education. Since the flow of talent generally occurs from the periphery to the core, it is seen that studies mostly deal with either foreign researchers in developed countries or researchers returning to their developing home countries. However, this study aims to examine the mobility of foreign academics in a reverse direction. Specific to research universities in Turkey, foreign academics' demographic information, academic qualifications, and contributions to their universities were examined with a bibliometric analysis. The findings were also discussed within the legal framework determined by Turkish authorities regarding the employment of foreign academics. The findings show that (i) the proportion of foreign academics with and without a Ph.D. in research universities is close to each other, (ii) researchers are concentrated in the arts and humanities research, (iii) more than half of the academics have completed their doctoral studies in high-income economies, (iv) less than half of the researchers graduated from universities ranked in the top 500 list of THE World University Rankings, and (v) there is a variation among universities in their contributions to research, citation performance, and graduate counseling. In this respect, the results show that the majority of researchers at research universities are not directly employed with a research orientation, and the legal framework contains caveats that need to be explained for research universities.

Publication performance and trends in temporomandibular disorders research: A bibliometric analysis

BackgroundTemporomandibular disorders (TMD) are common, can be both painful and non-painful, and encompass various conditions affecting the temporomandibular joint, the masticatory muscles or both TMD. Therefore, the purpose of this bibliometric analysis was to synthetically analyze citation performance in TMD, to address a more innovative method including details of article title, author keyword, KeyWords Plus, and abstracts. Material and methodsData used in this study were retrieved from the Clarivate Analytics Web of Science Core Collection, the online version of the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-EXPANDED) between 1992 and 2021. The distribution of key words in the article title and author‑selected keywords were used to evaluate research trends. ResultsOf the 7,228 documents in SCI-EXPANDED, 6,138 documents met all inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis, of which 4,945 were articles. The present bibliometric analysis of the articles published in the research filed of TMD revealed that orofacial pain, bruxism, chronic pain, and myofascial pain are the most commonly used keywords by the authors. Further, over the last 30 years 4,945 articles are published in the field of TMD, and the far most frequently cited study was published 8 years ago and handles the diagnostic criteria of TMD.The USA and Brazil were top two ranking productive countries of publication on TMD. The most productive journal was Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, followed by Cranio-The Journal of Craniomandibular & Sleep Practice and Journal of Oral & Facial Pain and Headache. The most productive authors were P. Svensson, R. Ohrbach, and F. Lobbezooas. The most productive institutes were Sao Paulo University (Brazil), Malmo University (Sweden), and Washington university (USA) ConclusionBased on the outcome of this bibliometric study, the authors hope that both clinicians and researchers will have information to shape their future research focus, finding prominent institutions in their nearby area, or even to be stimulated to initiate new international or even multinational collaborations.

International Journal of Sociology and Social Policy: a retrospective overview

PurposeThis paper aims to synthesize the knowledge published in the International Journal of Sociology and Social Policy since its inaugural issue to current issue, i.e. from 1981 to 2021, using a structured and systematic review technique.Design/methodology/approachIn order to achieve the objective of this paper, the authors have analysed the bibliometric metadata of 1,583 research documents published during the last four decades in International Journal of Sociology and Social Policy by employing a structural and quantitative literature review technique, i.e. bibliometric. Particularly, the authors used performance analysis and network analysis (intellectual and social network analysis).FindingsFindings reveal the performance metrics, i.e. productivity and citation performance of various constituencies of IJSSP such as authors, institutes, research articles etc. In addition, the authors constituted certain knowledge networks such as keywords co-occurrence, strategic map and social network.Research limitations/implicationsPresent systematic and objective review reveals the evolution and pattern of research publication in IJSSP, and this will help in predicting and setting the future course of knowledge creation such as emphasis on a particular theory or framework, reexamining the established assumptions and so on.Practical implicationsIn the wake of changing social policy dynamics, the present systematic synthesis helps in understanding the possible emerging areas of concerns both for practitioners and policymakers.Originality/valueThe present study is a first attempt that considers the entire research corpus of the journal and synthesizes it objectively and systematically.

The narrowing of literature use and the restricted mobility of papers in the sciences

It is a matter of debate whether a shrinking proportion of scholarly literature is getting most of the citations over time. It is also less well understood how a narrowing use of literature would affect the circulation of ideas in the sciences. Here, I show that the utilization of scientific literature follows dual tendencies over time: while a larger proportion of literature is cited at least a few times, citations are also concentrated more at the top of the citation distribution. Parallel to the latter trend, a paper’s future importance increasingly depends on its past citation performance. A random network model shows that the citation concentration is directly related to the greater stability of citation performance. The presented evidence suggests that the growing heterogeneity of citation impact restricts the mobility of research articles that do not gain attention early on. While concentration grows from the beginning of the studied period in 1970, citation dispersion manifests itself significantly only from the mid-1990s, when the popularity of freshly published papers also increased. Most likely, advanced information technologies to disseminate papers are behind both of these latter trends.

Cumulative advantage and citation performance of repeat authors in scholarly journals.

Cumulative advantage-commonly known as the Matthew Effect-influences academic output and careers. Given the challenge and uncertainty of gauging the quality of academic research, gatekeepers often possess incentives to prefer the work of established academics. Such preferences breach scientific norms of universalism and can stifle innovation. This article analyzes repeat authors within academic journals as a possible exemplar of the Matthew Effect. Using publication data for 347 economics journals from 1980-2017, as well as from three major generalist science journals, we analyze how articles written by repeat authors fare vis-à-vis less-experienced authors. Results show that articles written by repeat authors steadily decline in citation impact with each additional repeat authorship. Despite these declines, repeat authors also tend to garner more citations than debut authors. These contrasting results suggest both benefits and drawbacks associated with repeat authorships. Journals appear to respond to feedback from previous publications, as more-cited authors in a journal are more likely to be selected for repeat authorships. Institutional characteristics of journals also affect the likelihood of repeat authorship, as well as citation outcomes. Repeat authorships-particularly in leading academic journals-reflect innovative incentives and professional reward structures, while also influencing the intellectual content of science.

Predicting the impact of American Economic Review articles by author characteristics

Abstract Authors who publish in American Economic Review (AER) have career paths confined to a few prestigious institutions, and they mostly have exceptional past publication performance. In this paper, I show that authors who are educated and work in the top 10 institutions and have better past publication performance receive more citations for their current AER publications. Authors who have published in the top economic theory journals receive fewer citations even after controlling for the subfield of their AER article. The gender of the authors, years of post-PhD experience, and the location of the affiliated institution do not have any significant effect on the citation performance. An opportunistic editor can exploit the factors that are related to citation performance to substantially improve the citation performance of the journal. Such opportunistic behavior increases the overrepresentation of authors with certain characteristics. For example, an opportunistic editor who uses the predicted citation performance of articles to select a quarter of the articles increases the ratio of authors who works at the top 10 institutions from 30.8% to 52.0%.

A Bibliometric Analysis of First 45 Years of Journal of Management

The knowledge domain of business research has grown tremendously over the last five decades. This study investigates the leading trends in the intellectual structure of the Journal of Management (JOM) during the 1975–2019 timeframe. It analyses the most frequent authors, institutions, countries, citation performance, and emerging themes of JOM. In so doing, this article maps co-citation, co-authorship, and co-occurrence networks by employing VOSviewer software. The findings indicate that trends in the number of publications and several indicators of the impact of research published in JOM are encouraging. The results show a surge in the dispersal of the authors across the world, especially from the United Kingdom, Netherlands, Canada, and Australia. Likewise, multi-authored publications have witnessed robust growth. The burst detection analysis performed employing CiteSpace software indicates that the recent contribution of JOM is mainly in strengthening a new perspective in the field of well-being, motivation, abusive supervision, agency theory, and social network.
