“…Having quantitative characteristics, bibliometric analysis is useful in comprehending the descriptive features and impact of publications and devising new research strategies (Iftikhar et al, 2019). Although bibliometric analysis was conducted in the fields of midwifery, nursing, obstetrics, forensic medicine, and forensic anthropology (Crookes et al, 2010;Scott et al, 2010;Iftikhar et al, 2019;Demir et al, 2020;Ramakrishnan et al, 2020;Ramírez et al, 2022;Madadin et al, 2022), the literature does not provide any example of bibliometric analysis in the fields of forensic nursing and midwifery. This study, which aimed to fill this gap through the examination of the research published between 1972 and 21st of June 2022 in Scopus Database, investigated the most active journals and these journals' metrics, the most active authors, universities, countries, collaborative countries, the most frequently used keywords and the change and evolution of themes over time.…”

As the first responders to forensic cases, nurses and midwifes have vital roles in conducting initial interview, physical examination, collecting and recording evidence and maintaining chain of custody. This study aims to map out the evolution of the fields of forensic nursing and forensic midwifery by focusing on the trend topics, the most active journals, top cited authors and publications, author productivity, productive organizations, journals, and countries of collaboration through bibliometric approach. To achieve this aim, we reviewed article title, abstract and keyword categories of Scopus Database using the phrase, «forensic» and «nursing» or «midwifery» and found a total of 2243 publications for the years between 1972 and 2022. As the midwifery publications in the literature are indexed within the «nursing» field, we restricted the research to «nursing» field and found 1385 publications. After removing duplications, we analyzed 1332 research and conducted visualization through ‘VosViewer’ and ‘R biblioshiny’ programmes. Best to our knowledge, this is the first bibliometric analysis which contributes to the related literature and to forensic scientists.

“…From 1976 to 2023, 8049 documents were displayed. However, erratum, short survey, note, editorial, and retracted documents were excluded from this analysis [ 57 , 58 , 59 ]. A total of 8002 articles, reviews, conference papers, book chapters, conference reviews, and books were included in this bibliometric analysis.…”

The Studies on Chitosan for Sustainable Development: A Bibliometric Analysis

2023

Chitosan is a biocompatible polymer with vast applications in pharmacology, medicine, paper making, agriculture, and the food industry due to its low toxicity. Chitosan also plays an important role in the sustainable environment since chitosan is able to absorb greenhouse gases, harmful organic matter, and heavy ions. Therefore, this paper conducts a bibliometric analysis of chitosan for sustainable development using the Scopus database from 1976 to 2023. A performance analysis on the 8002 documents was performed with Harzing’s Publish or Perish. Science mapping was conducted using VOSviewer. The annual publication on chitosan for sustainable development showed an upward trend in recent years as the annual publication peaked in 2022 with 1178 documents with most of the documents being articles and published in journals. Material science, chemistry, and engineering are tightly related subject areas. China had the highest publication of 1560 total documents while the United States had the most impactful publication with 55,019 total citations, 68.77 citations per document, 77.6 citations per cited document, h-index 110, and g-index of 211. India had the largest international collaboration with 572 total link strength. “International Journal of Biological Macromolecules”, “Carbohydrate Polymers”, and “Polymers” have been identified as the top three source titles that publish the most documents on chitosan for sustainable development. The emerging trends in chitosan on sustainable development focus on the application of chitosan as an antibacterial agent and biosorbent for contaminants, especially in water treatment.

“…Bibliometric analysis is a widely used quantitative method for estimating relevant, previously conducted research activities, enabling the content of the literature to be analysed and new trends in a given field to be predicted. Bibliometrics has contributed to research trends in forensic science and legal medicine [ 9 , 10 ], such as forensic anthropology [ 11 ], forensic entomology [ 12 ], forensic genetics [ 13 ], and medical malpractice [ 10 ]. However, in the field of missing person or forensic humanitarian, to the best of our knowledge, this bibliometric analysis is the first attempt.…”

A bibliometric analysis was performed to explore the current research status and development trends for missing persons globally and in East Asia and to identify research hotspots and frontiers relating to this topic. A search was conducted to identify relevant literature on missing persons using the Web of Science Core Collection database for the period 2000–2021. Subsequently, a knowledge map was constructed using CiteSpace software to perform a visual analysis of the distribution of authors and institutions, journals, national/regional distribution; citation frequency; high-frequency keywords; and emerging research hotspots. The results showed firstly that discussions on missing persons and related topics in East Asia are held at the regional scale. There is a paucity of research on this topic, which has been conducted on a limited scale, lacks depth and possibly innovation and entails limited discussion in this region. Secondly, there is a lack of social science research on missing persons and related topics worldwide. Thirdly, relevant research in East Asia should continue to preserve its own characteristics, effectively addressing current issues and enabling more people to participate in social science-oriented discussions focusing on the topic of missing persons. This approach provides a promising direction for pursuing the sustainable development of the topic of missing persons.
