“…The R software and its packages, among them the Bibliometrix and Biblioshiny packages, have been reported in 5 studies. Such packages have been used in previous studies [79,80]. Bibliometrix is a tool specifically designed for quantitative research in scientometrics and bibliometrics [81] while Biblioshiny provides a web interface for bibliometrix, used for visualizing bibliometric data.…”

The importance of the circular economy has greatly increased in the past few years, and consequently, the interest in the circular economy as a research field has also increased, which led to an exponential growth in the number of literature reviews on the subject with different purposes. In order to analyze the topics that have been studied and assess the quality of these secondary reviews, this study carried out a tertiary literature review on the subject. This study identified the literature reviews on the circular economy, the most frequently cited papers, and the main research topics in the field. We have also analyzed the types of research questions that have been proposed by secondary studies. Finally, we evaluated the extent to which secondary reviews have assessed the quality of primary studies. We found out that literature reviews on the circular economy are frequently related to the areas of supply chain and technology. We also concluded that there is a need for designing research questions that explore more complex relationships, since most questions are descriptive or process-related. Some research questions are proposed to guide future studies. We also observed that secondary studies have failed to appropriately assess the quality of primary studies.

“…A co-citation exists when two references appear together in the same publication. The occurrence of two publications more than once in the reference list of an article can be an indicator of similarity in an empirical discipline, methodology, theory, and theme (Barbosa & Ferreira-Lopes, 2021). The advantage of using co-citation analysis is that in addition to finding the most influential publications, academics can also discover thematic clusters.…”

KIBS Role in the Innovation and Internationalization Processes of Firms: a Bibliometric Overview

In recent decades, KIBS have been one of the most dynamic segments of the service sector in European countries and are one of the fastest growing sectors of the European Union economy. KIBS are firms that provide knowledge-intensive inputs to the business processes of other organizations. In the regional and national economy, KIBS have played a central role in innovation as carriers, producers and mediators of knowledge. Consequently, this knowledge has a critical impact on the internationalization of firms. New sources of information and knowledge help firms compete and grow in markets of which they possess little or no prior knowledge. Firms face difficulties in foreign markets, so they need to develop a strong knowledge base to successfully compete across borders. The intensity of knowledge and the diversity of knowledge sources positively impact both the internationalization of firms and their innovation. Knowledge-intensive firms represent a link between their customers and the knowledge base available across the economy, and therefore act as a catalyst for innovation and internationalization. Recognizing the important role played by KIBS and to provide as overall picture of the research field, a bibliometric approach was performed, based on a mapping of scientific publications, intellectual structure and research trends related to the area under study, highlighting the current approaches of reference on the subject of innovation, internationalization and knowledge. In light of this consideration, the main objective of this study is to identify some of the most relevant research in this field and some of the newest trends, according to the information found in the Web of Science database, thus contributing to the enrichment of the existing literature. The specific objectives of this study are as follows: (1) to identify how the concepts of KIBS, innovation and internationalization are defined in the literature and assess the evolution achieved in the field of research; (2) to identify and measure research productivity, the trend of collaboration between countries, and the main and most relevant journals and authors; and (3) to analyze and map co-citations and research topics to identify the intellectual structure of the literature.

“…Telecollaboration in language learning is not a new concept and a history of its development is presented in (Dooly & O'Dowd, 2018). More recently, a bibliometric analysis of 254 research articles in (Barbosa & Ferreira-Lopes, 2021) presented a summary of the field including an exploration into the benefits and drawbacks of different technologies that can support it.…”

“…The bibliometric study presented in (Barbosa & Ferreira-Lopes, 2021) addressed this by looking at the most-used technologies and found that videoconferencing systems like Skype, virtual worlds like Second Life, social media platforms like Facebook, storytelling wikis and blogs, were the main tools used, drawing much of its evidence from (Avgousti, 2018). There are also quite a few software platforms specifically built to offer support for tandem language learning including HelloTalk, Babbel.com, SpeakPlus and others.…”

Tandem telecollaboration is a pedagogy used in second language learning where mixed groups of students meet online in videoconferencing sessions to practice their conversational skills in their target language. We have built and deployed a system called L2 Learning to support post-session review and self-reflection on students’ participation in such meetings. We automatically compute a metric called Conversational Volatility which quantifies the amount of interaction among participants, indicating how dynamic or flat the conversations were. Our analysis on more than 100 hours of video recordings involving 28 of our students indicates that conversations do not get more dynamic as meetings progress, that there is a wide variety of levels of interaction across students and student groups, and the speaking in French appears to have more animated conversations than speaking in English, though the reasons for that are not clear.
