“…Some previous articles have presented research on a global level offering an overview of the tourism research [1]; others have undertaken studies for certain regions, such as Turkey [3][4][5] or Southeast Asia [6]; as observed in Table A1, many others have analysed the research on specific topics, such as sustainable tourism, trust, quality service, ICT and social media and tourism education [7] some studies have focused on specific journals [8]; others have addressed analysis on the evolution of topics of research combining bibliometrics with others methodologies [9]. Finally, it is noteworthy to highlight some guides to undertake bibliometric studies such as that of Mulet et al [10].…”

This document constitutes an overview of the research performed by authors whose main affiliation is in a European research institution, in the field of ‘tourism, leisure and hospitality’, since the first indexed publication in 1969. The method used includes measures, such as the most productive authors, institutions and countries, as well as relational techniques which depict results and allow for the analysis of the scientific and intellectual structure of the field, especially regarding the main topics addressed. Results show that Dimitrios Buhalis is the most productive author, authors from UK institutions are the most influential, UK and Spain are the most productive countries in terms of published articles and that the main topics addressed in the last decade refer to social media and climate change. Among the major implications are that it offers a retrospective overview of tourism research, contributes to the literature on research advances and it serves to identify the main research areas in this study.

“…Bibliometric studies are therefore useful, as they analyze tourism journals and provide an overview of key themes, authors, institutions, countries and citations that characterize the field (Leong, Hew, Tan, Ooi, and Lee (2021); Mulet-Forteza et al, 2022;U ¨lker et al, 2022). Such analyses help to identify areas where progress has been made and where further efforts are required to advance knowledge in the field (Leong, Hew, Tan, Ooi, and Lee (2021)).…”

“…Nuñez-Maldonado and Flores-Romero (2022) presented a bibliometric review of sustainable tourism, analyzing 28 years of research. Mulet-Forteza, Genovart-Balaguer, and Horrach-Rosselló (2022) proposed a bibliometric guide to help researchers undertake studies in the hospitality and tourism field. Another successful bibliometric analysis on a similar topic was conducted by Zhang, Xu, Skare, and Kraus (2022).…”

Purpose This research addresses the pressing need for comprehensive studies in the rapidly evolving field of city tourism. This study aims to understand the overall performance of the International Journal of Tourism Cities (IJTC), the structure of knowledge in city tourism research and the prevalent themes and trends arising from IJTC. Design/methodology/approach A bibliometric analysis was conducted to scrutinize the publication patterns in IJTC. This involved examining parameters such as the annual count of published articles, the keywords used in them and their respective authors. Findings The findings reveal that IJTC has a growing and diverse publication output, establishing itself as a reputable and influential publication within urban tourism research. The results reflect various aspects and themes in city tourism research. Research limitations/implications The study has certain limitations. The data used for analysis was obtained exclusively from the Scopus database. The analysis was conducted using only one software package, Bibliometrix. Other software packages may offer different features for bibliometric analysis. The study relied exclusively on quantitative methods for data analysis. Qualitative methods could have provided more nuanced interpretations of the data. Practical implications Comparative analyses could be conducted between IJTC and other journals within urban tourism or related disciplines. Such research would yield valuable insights into the current state of the field and aid in identifying areas warranting further investigation. Social implications The findings from this study can inform the decisions and actions of various stakeholders involved in urban tourism. Practitioners and policymakers can draw from this research to make informed decisions. Existing and emerging authors can identify relevant topics for their research. Readers can access pertinent information for their needs. Originality/value This study offers a unique contribution by thoroughly comprehending the performance of IJTC between 2015 and 2023. It progresses the existing body of knowledge on city tourism research by examining its current status and future trends.

“…Bibliometrics provides insights into the growth and development of publications, their distribution, variable keywords, and author collaboration (Greener, 2022). It helps in mapping relationships between concepts, identifying research directions and trends, and mapping the state of the art in a field (Mulet-Forteza et al, 2022). Bibliometrics, through the examination of citations and collaborations, has the capability to discern fundamental research, geographical hubs of expertise, and prominent authors (Tamtam et al, 2023).…”

The STEAM learning environment with a gamification system has been found to promote innovators by enhancing creative thinking and innovation skills in students. It can engage and motivate students, making the course content come alive. The objective of this study is to provide an overview of the research conducted in the field of STEAM education with a focus on gamification, specifically examining studies published within the last six years. A bibliometric analysis and systematic reviews were performed to examine the trends in published literature on steam learning environment on gamification systems to promote innovators between the years 2018 and 2023. The retrieval of pertinent documents was conducted by employing keywords associated with “TITLE-ABS-KEY (“steam” AND “gamification” AND “innovation” AND “skill” AND “innovator” AND “learning environment” AND “ecosystem”)” in the title, abstract, and keywords of the documents. Consequently, a total of 5 documents were obtained from the Scopus database for the purpose of conducting bibliometric analysis and systematic review. The review examines the pattern of publication growth, identifies the papers with the highest citation counts, determines the primary sources of these articles, assesses the productivity of writers, analyzes the leading countries contributing to the field, and identifies the prominent subject areas within the research domain. Based on the results of our investigation, it can be concluded that Thailand exhibits the highest level of productivity in terms of publications and citations. Education and Information Technologies is widely recognized as the primary scholarly resource in its field. Through the co-occurrence of keywords analysis, we determined that the most significant keywords associated with steam learning environment on gamification systems to promote innovators are gamification, creative thinking, steam education, design thinking and digital learning ecosystem and so on. The computer science and social science domains have the highest number of published documents.
