“…Energy management has been persistently facilitated by innovations. Blockchain technology is attracting a lot of interest among scientists (Kuzior and Sira, 2022). Blockchain technology is a form of distributed ledger technology, arranged on a peer-to-peer network where all data are reproduced, shared, and simultaneously circulated across multiple peers (Butijn et al, 2020).…”

Improving energy management has received a lot of attention due to environmental issues, energy crises, and growing energy prices in today’s world. Various digital technologies have been developed to enhance energy management to cover these challenges. This article investigates Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence, which have recently attracted increasing attention. The study applies the software of VOSviewer for providing bibliometric analysis. The data (pull of the scientific documents) was generated from the Scopus and Web of Science. There have been done a critical analysis of the literature for evaluating the research in the proposed area. This paper focuses on possible use cases of blockchain and artificial intelligence technologies and considers aspects of technology used to achieve energy efficiency. The findings showed that the technologies are widely applied in energy management. Besides, it is lack of documents that contain the terms ‘energy efficiency and ‘blockchain’. The results of analysis confirm that artificial intelligence has been rapidly integrating with energy management, helping to develop more efficient and secure energy generation techniques.

The Making of Smart Campus: A Review and Conceptual Framework

et al. 2023

Smart campus is an emerging concept enabled by digital transformation opportunities in higher education. Smart campuses are often perceived as miniature replicas of smart cities and serve as living labs for smart technology research, development, and adoption, along with their traditional teaching, learning and research functions. There is currently a limited understanding of how the smart campus is conceptualized and practiced. This paper addresses this gap by using a systematic literature review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) approach. The study uses four major domains of the smart campus, i.e., society, economy, environment, and governance, to classify existing research. These domains are each aligned to the central smart campus concepts of digital technology and big data. The analysis found little evidence of a comprehensive real-world application of the smart campus towards addressing all four domains. This highlights the infancy of the current conceptualization and practice. The findings contribute to the development of a new conceptual foundation and research directions for the smart campus notion and informs its practice through a conceptual framework. The findings reported in this paper offer a firm basis for comprehensive smart campus conceptualization, and also provide directions for future research and development of smart campuses.

“…Researchers have used various tools to conduct a bibliometric analysis, such as Bibliometrix, an R-based tool for literature mapping (Aria and Cuccurullo 2017 ), Gephi (Cherven 2015 ), CiteSpace (Van Eck and Waltman 2017 ), Pajek (Mrvar and Batagelj 2014 ), VOSviewer (Kuzior and Sira 2022 ), HistCite (Zhang et al 2018 ), and Bibexcel (Pilkington 2018 ). We employed bibliometrix, an R-based tool for literature mapping, and VOSviewer for network visualization of scientometric data.…”

“…However, their proposed work did not provide any network analysis to cover other essential aspects of blockchain-based supply chain. Regarding recent studies related to bibliometric research, Kuzior and Sira ( 2022 ) selected 1842 documents published from 2007 to 2021 using the Scopus database. They performed citation and co-occurrence analysis using VOSviewer software.…”

The emergence of the underlying blockchain technology of bitcoin has gained extensive attention from researchers and practitioners. As distributed ledger technology, blockchain widely finds its applications in the supply chain to mitigate issues related to transparency, information sharing, process efficiency, and traceability. This study employed a knowledge-based visualization technique to create a vision beyond other review studies on the blockchain-based supply chain. We used bibliometric and network analysis to synthesize the previous literature. In total, 431 articles in the timespan of 2017 to April 2022 from Scopus and Web of Science (WOS) databases were analyzed after applying search string, inclusion, and exclusion criteria. Basic information was extracted from initial data screening; then, data was analyzed on the grounds of co-occurrence, bibliographic coupling, citation, co-authorship, and co-citation analysis. In addition, thematic analysis was performed to analyze the content of the previous studies, adopted research methods, and dynamic industries in the literature. Besides all these, we identified various research gaps and proposed research directions for future study. We believe that this study provides adequate knowledge to academic scholars and supply chain practitioners to fast-track the current research in the supply chain domain using blockchain technology.
