“…It was developed by Nees Jan van Eck and Ludo Waltman [38]. This has been used in several studies of diverse disciplines [39][40][41][42][43][44][45]. According to [41,44], given that scientometrics includes all quantitative aspects of scientific research, it has been widely used to measure the impact of scientific contributions as well as monitor scientific developments, identify emerging trends, and map science patterns that allow identifying the internal composition of a specific topic.…”

The purpose of this study is to analyze the extant literature on Project Finance (PF) with a comprehensive understanding of the status quo and research trends in the mining industry. Thus, this study utilizes a scientometric review of global trends and structure of PF and mining research from 1977 to 2020 using techniques such as co-author, co-word, co-citation, and cluster analyses. A total of 80 bibliographic records from the Scopus database were analyzed to generate the study’s research through scientometric networks. The findings indicate a steady growth of the research field, which includes Environmental, Social, and Governance criteria. The most significant contributions have originated mainly from the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, and South Africa. The main research trends identified several issues related to risk, management, and financing concerns. This study provides researchers and practitioners with a comprehensive understanding of the status quo and research trends of ontology research within PF in the mining context and promotes further studies in this domain.

“…Cui et al (2018) conducted a systematic research and derived the following six research topic related to infrastructure PPP projects: financial package and PPP application, economic viability and VFM, risk management and success factors, procurement and contract management, performance management and governance and regulation. Based on analysis of PPP articles and proceeding papers from 1996 to 2016, Song et al (2019) identified the intellectual structure and knowledge domains of PPP research and concluded future directions, such as risk allocation, real option-based evaluation.…”

PurposeThe aims of this study are to conduct a systematic review of public–private partnership (PPP) studies published from 2009 to 2019, to compare the results with Ke et al. (2009) who reviewed the PPP literature published from 1998 to 2008, and to trace the evolution of the PPP knowledge in the past two decades. This study also presents the possible directions that the PPP research may go towards in the future, arguably.Design/methodology/approachThis study carried out a top journal-based search to identify the quality PPP articles published from 2009 to 2019. A total of 12 top-tier construction journals were systematically searched in the database of web of science (WOS), from which 279 PPP articles were identified for review.FindingsThe number of the identified articles, the titles of the journals, institutions, the most cited papers, and prevalent research methods were analyzed and compared. The existing PPP studies in construction journals were classified into seven streams. Through analysis of the PPP research status and gaps, five future research directions were revealed.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the current body of knowledge by revealing the research trend of PPP from 2009 to 2019. It presents the change of PPP development trend in the past decade through comparison with Ke et al. (2009). It also reveals the major research streams and points out the directions that the PPP research may go towards in the future. Moreover, this study is helpful to the practice as well. It can enhance the practitioners' understanding of the PPP development in the past decade. In addition, it identified the research institutions contributing the most in the area of PPP, which may serve as valuable reference for practitioners to locate the best institutions for consultancy or collaboration.

“…A scientometric analysis (including co-author, co-word, co-citation and cluster analysis) provides a feasible and statistical way to visualize the research status quo, such as influential countries/regions, institutions and authors, track the emerging trends and understand the intellectual structure of a research field [8]. In this paper, CiteSpace V, a Java-based application, is used to analyze the bibliographic records, delineate the co-citation networks and detect the emerging trends.…”

A method of scientometrics analysis was adopted in this study to objectively visualize the research status quo, track the emerging trends and understand the intellectual structure of affordance research in the field of interaction design with 726 documents published in the ISI Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database from 1995-2020. The results identified that annual trends of the papers will continue to grow. USA plays a significant role and is a pioneer in the field. There is no leading institution or author with high output or high influence. The study has formed 4 hot research topic: Theoretical study, Perception-level study, Behaviour-level study and Experience-level study. According to the references co-citation network, we can know that affordance research in the field of interaction design has produced a number of classic literature.
