“…In addition, results of the study indicated that the majority of IoT researchers in the Arab world collaborated not only with other researchers within the Arab countries but also with researchers from around the world such as France, the USA, and UK. The results are in line with the previous studies [18][19][20] . Similarly, authors of the top ten universities demonstrated having 95 per cent collaborations with other scholars and scientists with locally and internationally.…”

Arab countries understand the importance of the Internet of things for the development of society. This entails many efforts to conduct research related to the Internet of things in the Arab countries. Analysing contributions of researchers to the Internet of things research could be useful to go further in this filed. In this study, bibliometric techniques are used to investigate publications indexed in the Scopus database with the affiliation to the Arab countries. The paper used research outputs of Arab nations as quantitative measure, while it also used citation rates and citation scores for qualitative measure. Data analysis focuses on the growth in the Internet of things research, types of publication, core journals, subject and keyword analysis, top productive authors, top productive institutes and countries, and collaborative countries with the Arab countries. Findings of the study highlighted the differences among the Arab group countries with regard to IoT research. In addition, the Arab nations appeared performing better in IoT research than the environmental and medical research.

Background Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease caused by a protozoan of the Leishmania genus, and is considered a neglected tropical disease. It still remains a main public health concern at global level and in Arab world mainly in low-income countries. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the Arab world’s growing contribution to global leishmaniasis research. Methods This study describes a bibliometric review of all leishmaniasis research publications published between January 1998 and December 2017 indexed on the Scopus database. Results The total number of publications published at global level was 17,570 papers, which achieves an average annual productivity of 878.50 papers publications. Brazil was responsible for the greatest output with the total number of publications of 3865 followed by the Unites States ( n = 2729), India ( n = 2119), the United Kingdom ( n = 1363), and Spain ( n = 1274). By limiting the analysis to the publications that have been published by Arab world, the research productivity was 993 papers, which represents 5.65% of total research output at global level in research regarding leishmaniasis. Tunisia was responsible for the greatest output from Arab world with the total number of publications of 297 followed by Sudan ( n = 192), Saudi Arabia ( n = 131), Morocco ( n = 119) and Egypt ( n = 67). Since 1998, the growth of publications on leishmaniasis fluctuates, overall showing a rising trend in both global and Arab world. There is a highly significant correlation between publication productivity related to leishmaniasis at global level and the Arab world (r = 0.936; p -value< 0.001). Leishmaniasis treatment, intracellular mechanism of infection, and lifecycle of leishmania are the major current hot topics for the research in this subject at global level and the Arab world. Conclusions The current study presents a novel review of the current Arab leishmaniasis-related research, and how these results are related to worldwide output. In comparison to the global research output, the Arab world produced less leishmaniasis research. The data presented in the current study by this innovative approach may serve relevant researchers to direct the global leishmaniasis research to Arab counties in which leishmaniasis is endemic.

“…The analysis of scientific publications constitutes a fundamental link in the research process and therefore it has become a tool that allows to evaluate the generation, evolution and impact of knowledge in the environment (Rueda-Clausen, Villa-Roel and Rueda-Clausen, 2005; Escorcia, 2008) providing a macroscopic overview of large amounts of academic literature (van Nunen, Li, Reniers & Ponnet, 2007). This activity has been called bibliometrics, which is a part of scientometrics, it is multidisciplinary and is defined as the application of mathematical and statistical methods to analyze the nature and course of scientific publications (Merigó, 2016;Campos, 2007), it can reveal the latest advances, research directions and main topics in a particular field of research (Wang, Pan, Ke, Wang & Wei, 2014), as well as the identification of current gaps in a given research discipline, both in terms of content and geographically (Gall, Nguyen & Cutter, 2015), which allows researchers to orient future lines of research towards specific fields (Bayoumy, Dargham and Arayssi, 2016). Nowadays, a large number of bibliometric studies are carried out (Soosaraei, Akbar, Fakhar & Ziaei, 2018).…”

Introduction: The objective of this paper was to carry out a bibliometric analysis by using the different names that engagement has had in marketing to know growth trends, current research areas and to discover potential future lines of research on this subject.Method: The Scopus database was the provider of the information, analyzing a sample of 1791 documents for the period from 1996 to March 10, 2018, the date on which the data was downloaded. Results: The results show that the development of research on the subject is growing. The country that leads in number of publications is the United States, however, the most productive institution is the University of Auckland, New Zealand; and the leading journal was Computers in Human Behavior. Similarly, the most productive authors are Hollebeek, Graffigna and Malthouse; but the author who had the greatest impact on citations per year and not per number of publications was Brodie. The main areas in which a particular interest has been given are customer / consumer engagement, social media engagement, user engagement and brand engagement. It is possible to emphasize the concentration in studies that are focused on online environments (social networks and brand communities) and recent studies related to mobile environments (apps). Discussion or Conclusion: It can be concluded that engagement is a frontier issue in the area of marketing, especially focused on online environments and recently on mobile applications. It is an area of research in which there is much to do, since brands are betting every day on using more interactive channels to keep their customers and attract new ones, by generating new communication environments, involvement and engagement between brands and customers.
