A Bibliometric Analysis on How Organic Chemistry Education Research Has Evolved Collaboratively Over Time

Abstract

Organic chemistry is widely regarded as a challenging topic; generally, students prefer to memorize rather than critically analyze concepts resulting in meaningful learning. In recent years, the curriculum of the organic chemistry subject has been reshaped and redefined to overcome the difficulties that students often experience while trying to understand the syllabus. The goal of this research is to illustrate the organic chemistry education’s current trends, which adopted the bibliometric analysis method. A holistic review was carried out on organic chemistry education articles obtained from the Scopus database between the year 2011 up to 2020. Based on the keywords of “organic chemistry” and “education”, the study has accumulated 1056 papers for further evaluation. Various tools have been implemented, for example, Microsoft Excel was used to conduct the frequency analysis, VOSviewer for data visualization, as well as Harzing’s Publish or Perish in regard to citation metrics and analysis. Bibliometric indicators were employed to report the findings in this study, for instance, language, subject area, research trends by year of publication, top countries, top influential institution, active source title, citation analysis, authorship analysis and keywords analysis. The results show an increasing growth rate of literature on organic chemistry education from 2011 until 2020. The United States was the top contributor to organic chemistry education research, followed by Canada. Healthy collaboration exists across researchers, countries, and institutions. This evolvement of organic chemistry education reflects a rising emphasis on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) discipline incorporated into the 21st-century curriculum to prepare the desired workforce.

Bibliometric Analysis of Intelligence and Espionage Activities in Indonesia

“…This research adopts a qualitative method based on the results of a review of various literature. Obtaining literature began with a metadata search from Google Scholar with the help of the Publish or Perish program (Hassan et al, 2022). Publish or Perish was chosen because it is 207 free to use and can filter all metadata from Google Scholar according to the keywords typed.…”

Mainstreaming Flood Mitigation in Building Code: A Bibliometric Analysis

“…The performance analysis is used to answer RQ 1, and science mapping is used to answer RQs 2 and 3. The performance analysis provides insight into the research trends, publication patterns, and the most influential authors in the field (Nik Hassan et al, 2022;Puspitarini et al, 2023), where the status of research related to mainstreaming flood mitigation in building codes can be identified through this analysis.…”

Enhancing Disaster Resilience: Overview of Resilient Housing

“…Numerous databases collection is common among researchers such as Scopus, Emerald, and Science Direct. On top of that, the Scopus database has been chosen as the referral source as it has been recognized and widely used in the academic field because the key elements in the Scopus database such as its multidisciplinary and broad coverage of academic literature from different regions with high citation publications offer reliable material in managing the review (Hassan et al, 2022).…”
