“…The bibliometric study carried out followed the approach taken by previous works that analysed a certain topic based on bibliometric indicators (Cristino et al, 2018;Glanzel, 2002;Gómez-García et al, 2012;Gutiérrez et al, 2015;Juliani & de Oliveira, 2016). Therefore, this paper was prepared on the basis of these studies, and analysed the metadata of the literature published on open universities, and considered the bibliometric indicators of output, scattering, and productivity.…”

“…Following the consideration of previous bibliometric studies (Cristino, Neto, & Costa, 2018;Glanzel, 2002;Gómez-García, Ramiro, Ariza, & Reina, 2012;Gutiérrez, Martín, Casasempere, & Fernández, 2015;Juliani & de Oliveira, 2016), bibliometric indicators related to the output, scattering, and impact of the literature released on OUs were analysed. More specifically, output indicators show the diachronic productivity and the authors' productivity based on the verification of Price's (Price, 1986) and Lotka's (Rousseau, & Rousseau, 2000) bibliometric laws.…”

Since open universities can adapt to students’ work schedules, personal preferences, age, and so on, they have facilitated access to education for a large group of people. The open university phenomenon, which arose in the 1960s, fostered countries’ cultural growth; higher education was now longer exclusively for a privileged few. This paper presents a bibliometric study on the existing scientific output on open universities throughout the last 40 years. A bespoke methodology of bibliometric studies has been used, by setting key descriptors to be consulted in the most prestigious scientific database Web of Science. The sample was composed of 809 papers in total, indexed in prestigious journals and published during the period 1969 to 2018. The output, scattering, and impact bibliometric indicators were analysed in those papers. Among the results obtained, it was found that scientific output on open universities is in a phase of exponential growth, in which 2015 was the most productive year. Furthermore, the UK, where the phenomenon of open universities started, is the country with the most scientific output. Finally, the bibliometric study of the output indexed in the Web of Science shows a panoramic vision of the past, present, and future of open universities, emphasising the idea that this phenomenon is continuing to grow.

A Scientometric Review of System Dynamics Applications in Construction Management Research

Construction management can be regarded as a complex and dynamic system. In recent years, system dynamics (SD) has been widely applied to solve the complex and dynamic problems in the construction management. However, there is a lack of a scientometric analysis to investigate SD applications in construction management from an objective perspective. To fill out this research gap, this study retrieved a total of 222 relevant articles from the Scopus database. Then, VOSviewer was employed to analyze the collected literature from five aspects (i.e., co-authorship, published journals, co-occurring keywords, article citations, and regions). Based on the analysis results, four mainstream research themes were identified and discussed, including “risk management”, “waste management”, “energy management”, and “construction productivity”. In addition, future research directions, such as “construction risk allocation in PPP projects”, “evaluating the economic feasibility of construction waste landfilling centers”, “identifying the variables affecting lighting infrastructure energy consumption”, and “assessing construction productivity for technology-intensive activities”, were proposed. The contribution of this study lies in that it helps both scholars and practitioners to solve the complex and dynamic problems in construction management.

“…The field of environmental science shows a remarkable growing volume of scientific production. Bibliometric analysis has been used to study particular environmental fields, such as: water conservation and consumption [8]- [11], waste management and 172 recycling [12]- [16], energy consumption and solar energy [17]- [20], air pollution [21]- [24] or soil degradation [25]- [29]. Other studies treat more general environmental problems, but rather focus on certain geographic areas or countries [30], [31].…”

The aim of this study is to investigate the scientific production related to public attitude, behavior and acceptance of environmental issues through a bibliometric analysis. The databases Scopus was used to analyze the papers published in the subject area of environmental science. Bibliometric analysis was performed for authors, institutions, source type, document type, number of citations and countries in relation to publication year. An analysis of keywords of publications was also performed. The number of publications shows an overall exponential trend after 1965 until 2017. The most productive institution is the Wageningen University and Research Centre, followed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences Beijing Normal University. The keywords of the categories associated with "Ecology", "Sustainability," and "Environmental Policy-Management" are the most commonly used in most studies. It seems that there is room for more intensive research on fields related to public's opinion on specific environmental issues. The findings of the research will contribute to a better understanding of the current state of the art, identifying key research areas in the field of public opinion on environmental issues and identifying future research trends and directions.
