“…60 Besides that, the structure of organic LED research and its research fronts were also explored by bibliometric methods in previous studies. 61–64 Moreover, bibliometric analysis was also applied to specific journals to explore their contributions to the scientific community by a comprehensive analysis of the papers published in these journals (see reviews 65,66 ), such as Journal of Psychology, 67 Applied Soft Computing, 68 Safety Science 69 and Journal of Advanced Nursing. 70 Also, bibliometric methods have been employed to reveal the development of a specific journal and its achievements, especially in its anniversary.…”

“…The aim of the present study is thus to examine the bibliometric characteristics of LRT though performance analysis and science mapping 54,56,92 over the past 50 years in honour of the 50th anniversary of this journal and the 10th year since LRT obtained an IF. Previous bibliometric studies mainly focused on a specific subfield of lighting (e.g., LED 60 or organic LED 61–64 ) or other journals. 71–91 LRT, as a premier international outlet covering multiple subfields of light and lighting, is an ideal target for bibliometric analysis to reveal the evolution of lighting field.…”

Lighting Research & Technology (LRT) is an influential journal in the field of light and lighting dating back to 1969. To celebrate its 50th birthday, the current study explored its bibliometric characteristics and mapped the bibliographic information graphically through VOSviewer software. This analysis found that the number of papers has steadily increased during recent years. The most productive and cited country was the United Kingdom. The most productive and cited institution was Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The most prolific author was Steve Fotios and the most cited author was Mark Rea. The journal most cited together with LRT was Leukos. LRT has become more and more international and interdisciplinary over the last five decades. Suggestions for the development of LRT are provided. Develpoments over the last 50 years have turned LRT into one of leading journals in the light and lighting field, one which has a bright future.

“…For this goal, a tool from the library "Selenium"a webdriver-can be used. At the same time, following the principle of delay randomization is necessary; according to this principle, the human behavior online (following links, sending queries, et cetera) cannot be conditionally constant in time (Huang and Chang, 2016). To create delays, we propose using the "Sleep" tool from the "Time" library.…”

“…Identifying and monitoring research fronts and trends is crucial to assigning resources and formulating science and technology policies within the private and public sectors (Tseng et al , 2009; Huang and Chang, 2016), but this type of investigation has scarcely been considered in educational research. Research fronts represent the most dynamic study areas in science and technology and are therefore those that attract the most scientific interest (Upham and Small, 2010).…”

Purpose This paper aims to identify emerging fronts and hot topics in educational research. The identification of such educational trends can help decision-makers in educational policies and research agendas. Design/methodology/approach Through a quantitative and scientometric research approach, the authors analyze a sample of 198 highly cited scientific papers extracted from Web of Science corresponding to the 2012-2016 period using a co-verbal analysis to process the papers’ keywords and titles. The result of the co-occurrence analysis is further processed to generate clusters and visualize network maps that allow identifying the different emerging fronts and hot topics. Findings The results indicate that there exist pervasive and generalist topics, thus denoting the perennial nature of some themes within the education research discipline; which coexist with other more specific themes that center the focus of attention in more specific and actual topics that also attract the interest of researchers as technology, assessment, strategies or environment. These emergent fronts could conform a plausible research agenda educational research agenda. Originality/value The authors contribute a method to infer emerging fronts and hot topics of research and have used it to identify the novel avenues of educational research that may guide the agendas in the near future. In the scientific literature, they find studies and reports on fronts and topics mainly within the broader framework of social sciences. Here, the main focus of attention is placed on education as a scientific discipline on its own.
