“…CiteSpace II, developed by Chaomei Chen (http://cluster.cis.drexel.edu/~cchen/CiteSpace/), is a freely available Java application for visualizing and analysing trends and patterns in scientific literature. It provides a multitude of network analysis: co‐operative analysis of co‐authors (or their institutes and countries), co‐occurrence analysis of terms (or keywords and categories), and co‐citation analysis of cited references (or authors and journals) (Liu and Gui, ). CiteSpace II can also provide geographical distribution maps of authors by Google Earth.…”

This study presents a bibliometric analysis of the top five economics journals during the period 2012–2016 and provides helpful insights into the document types, the distribution of country/territories, the distribution of institutions, the geographical distribution of authors, the most active authors and their research interests or fields, the co‐authorship network, and global/local cooperation. This paper also provides valuable information about the core historical references and the hottest new papers through co‐citation analysis and citation analysis. A co‐word analysis based on the keywords and thematic noun‐phrases in the titles and abstracts of the sample papers was used to explore the hot research topics in the top five journals (e.g. ‘price’, ‘game’, ‘consumption’, ‘income’, ‘international trade’, ‘employment’, ‘monetary policy’, ‘welfare effects’ and ‘developing countries’). In addition, a comparative keyword analysis was used to explore the differences in the directions and characteristics of each journal and the changes in research focuses between ‘new’ and ‘old’ studies. The analytical methods of this study differ from those of reviews or previous studies, and the results fill the gaps not covered by those works.

“…In this research, two mapping approaches were applied: geospatial analysis and co-citation analysis. Co-citation analysis is based on the assumption that two references are often cited together and they are associated in some ways [8]. Geospatial analysis is usually visualized over a worldwide or thematic map based on related spatial attributes or geolocations [9].…”

“…It is mainly based on the theory of co-citation analysis and pathfinder network scaling algorithm to calculate the collection of documents in a specific field, in order to explore the main path and knowledge inflection point of the domain or subject evolution, and then analyze the evolution mechanisms of the subjects and make a reasonable prediction on the frontiers of the subject development [10,11]. Liu and Gui [8] used this method to map intellectual structures and dynamics of transport geography research.…”

Abstract:To date, very few research has been taken to quantitatively visualize the intellectual evolution of the field of detecting research fronts. Based on literature-searching analysis from the Thomson Reuters Web of Science as well as scientometrics mapping analysis, this important research topic is analyzed by techniques from informetric and bibliometric domains to detect its intellectual structures and dynamics. After data reduction and clean-up, 1841 articles published from 1991 to 2016 are downloaded, and two network analyses are conducted: a bibliometric approach (i.e. co-occurrence and co-citation network) and a complex network approach utilizing Chen's CiteSpace. Results are illustrated as the following: (1) growth of publications is divided into three stages: a stagnant phase (1991 -2002), a takeoff phase (2003 -2009) and a blooming phase (2010 -2016); (2) most of the research institutions in this domain are concentrated in the United States, China, Japan and some developed countries in Europe. Chinese research in this area is mainly concentrated in Wuhan university, Chinese academy of science and Dalian university of technology; (3) publications of detecting research fronts mainly focus on the disciplines of Compute Science, Engineering and Information science library science; (4) we find three main academic communities in this domain, and they mainly focus on development and application of methods detecting research fronts; (5) methods detecting research fronts are classified into two categories: citations analysis and topic words analysis; (6) Scientific researchers began to frequently use the database for scientometrics research after 2012 and medical field began to use this approach to understand some of the frontier dynamics in the field in 2014.

“…KCON analysis determines the presence of pairs of keywords over a series of bibliographic records. This analysis helps to identify the research themes and areas of focus [56], and to obtain the relationship between the papers [54]. We performed the KCON analysis separately for each cluster.…”

Sustainability in Construction Projects: A Systematic Literature Review

et al. 2021

This paper aims to identify the major research concepts studied in the literature of sustainability in construction projects. Two bibliometric analysis tools—(a) BibExcel and (b) Gephi, were used to analyze the bibliometrics indices of papers and visualize their interrelations as a network, respectively. Therefore, a research focus parallelship network (RFPN) analysis and keyword co-occurrence network (KCON) analysis were performed to uncover the primary research themes. The RFPN analysis clustered the studies into three major categories of evaluating sustainability, project management for sustainability, and drivers of sustainable construction. The KCON analysis revealed that while each paper had a different focus, the underlying concept of all clusters was sustainability, construction, and project management. We found that while ‘sustainability’ was the leading keyword in the first cluster, i.e., evaluating sustainability, it was the second top keyword with the eigenvector centrality of over 0.94 in the other two clusters. We also found that the concept of sustainability should be included in construction projects from the early stages of design and feasibility studies and must be monitored throughout the project life. This review showed that previous researchers used a variety of statistical and mathematical techniques such as structural equation modelling and fuzzy decision-making methods to study sustainability in construction projects. Using an integrated approach to identifying the research gaps in this area, this paper provides researchers with insights on how to frame new research to study sustainability in construction projects.
