“…And unlike the patterns observed in other fields [ 45 , 60 ], a substantial proportion of the most productive journals are not in the first quartile or among the top 1% for impact, which suggests that the field of population surveillance still has to gain ground before it is fully recognized and established as an area of knowledge. For this to happen, specialized journals should be advertised and recognized by the community, and better dissemination of studies published in journals of high impact and visibility [ 61 , 62 ].…”

Introduction Population surveillance provides data on the health status of the population through continuous scrutiny of different indicators. Identifying risk factors is essential for the quickly detecting and controlling of epidemic outbreaks and reducing the incidence of cross-infections and non-communicable diseases. The objective of the present study is to analyze research on population surveillance, identifying the main topics of interest for investigators in the area. Methodology We included documents indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection in the period from 2000 to 2019 and assigned with the generic Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) “population surveillance” or its related terms (“public health surveillance,” “sentinel surveillance” or “biosurveillance”). A co-occurrence analysis was undertaken to identify the document clusters comprising the main research topics. Scientific production, collaboration, and citation patterns in each of the clusters were characterized bibliometrically. We also analyzed research on coronaviruses, relating the results obtained to the management of the COVID-19 pandemic. Results We included 39,184 documents, which reflected a steady growth in scientific output driven by papers on “Public, Environmental & Occupational Health” (21.62% of the documents) and “Infectious Diseases” (10.49%). Research activity was concentrated in North America (36.41%) and Europe (32.09%). The USA led research in the area (40.14% of documents). Ten topic clusters were identified, including “Disease Outbreaks,” which is closely related to two other clusters (“Genetics” and “Influenza”). Other clusters of note were “Cross Infections” as well as one that brought together general public health concepts and topics related to non-communicable diseases (cardiovascular and coronary diseases, mental diseases, diabetes, wound and injuries, stroke, and asthma). The rest of the clusters addressed “Neoplasms,” “HIV,” “Pregnancy,” “Substance Abuse/Obesity,” and “Tuberculosis.” Although research on coronavirus has focused on population surveillance only occasionally, some papers have analyzed and collated guidelines whose relevance to the dissemination and management of the COVID-19 pandemic has become obvious. Topics include tracing the spread of the virus, limiting mass gatherings that would facilitate its propagation, and the imposition of quarantines. There were important differences in the scientific production and citation of different clusters: the documents on mental illnesses, stroke, substance abuse/obesity, and cross-infections had much higher citations than the clusters on disease outbreaks, tuberculosis, and especially coronavirus, where these values are substantially lower. Conclusions The role of population surveillance should be strengthened, promoting research and the development of public health surveillance systems in countries whose contribution to the area is limited.

The paper aims to identify how the contribution of co-creation to the innovation process in organizations and customer relations has been analyzed in academic literature between 2004 and 2018. For this we use data and text mining in publications indexed in Scopus that refer to co-creation, innovation and clients in the mentioned period. We use tools such as VOSviewer and Bibliometrix, finding that other areas associated with co-creation, innovation and customers correspond to: sales, business, commitment, product development and competitive advantage. In Latin America, Mexico stands out for its production and citations. It was possible to discover emerging topics that still need development in the study such as marketing, supply chain, co-creation and service innovation

“…The search strategy used here ensured that the results precisely reported the documents that were of considerable importance to this discipline. Bibliometric studies in other domains have also employed similar search strategies (González‐Alcaide, Gorraiz, & Hervás‐Oliver, ). To gather a broad perspective of scientific activity in political marketing, the scope of the current study includes all types of documents, languages, and countries for the analysis.…”

The current study presents a quantitative investigation of the literature on political marketing using a bibliometric approach. This study has analyzed 214 documents collected from the Web of Science database for the period between 1996 and 2018 using VOSviewer software and bibliometrix R package. Based on the insights gained from the analysis, the authors discuss the structural characteristics of various scientific agents involved in the publication process. The results of this study indicate that the literature on political marketing is highly fragmented and is still in its nascent stages. It further stresses the need to improve collaboration among researchers and promote this discipline within the research community.
