Roles and Research Trends of Neuroscience on Major Information Systems Journal: A Bibliometric and Content Analysis

Abstract

Over the past decade, neuroscience has been integrated into information systems as a new methodology and perspective to study and solve related problems. Therefore, NeuroIS has emerged as a new cutting-edge research field. This review aimed to identify, summarize, and classify existing NeuroIS publications through knowledge mapping and bibliometric analysis. To effectively understand the development trend of NeuroIS, this study referred to the journal selection index of the Association of Business Schools in 2021 and journals above three stars in the field of information management as the main selection basis. A total of 99 neuroscience papers and their citation data were included from 19 major information systems journals of SCI/SSCI. This study analyzed bibliometric data from 2010 to 2021 to identify the most productive countries, universities, authors, journals, and prolific publications in NeuroIS. To this end, VOSviewer was used to visualize mapping based on co-citation, bibliographic coupling, and co-occurrence. Keywords with strong citation bursts were also identified in this study. This signifies the evolution of this research field and may reveal potential research directions in the near future. In selecting research methods and analysis tools for NeuroIS, content analysis was used to further conclude and summarize the relevant trends. Moreover, a co-citation network analysis was conducted to help understand how the papers, journals, and authors in the field were connected and related, and to identify the seminal or pioneering major literature. For researchers, network maps visualized mainstream research and provided a structural understanding of NeuroIS. The review concludes by discussing potential research topics in this field.

A study of cross-border E-commerce research trends: Based on knowledge mapping and literature analysis

“…After selecting the “article” type to search SCI and SSCI journal articles, 23 articles were deleted, and two articles were deleted according to the subject and abstract. The exclusion factors included irrelevant cross-border e-commerce, literature and trend analysis, non-empirical research, and non-English studies ( Su et al, 2020 ; Lin et al, 2022 ; Zhu et al, 2022 ). Finally, the contents of 198 articles were retained, and a bibliometric mapping analysis was obtained.…”

“…Furthermore, in order to effectively carry out data analysis, this study referred to Nagariya et al (2021) and Lin et al (2022) in terms of clustering analysis. Content categories were supplemented objectively through multiple methods to reduce the deviations, errors, and shortcomings of graphic results of conventional bibliometric methods.…”

Bibliometric analysis of neurofeedback research from 2000 to 2022

“…This analysis can help future researchers identify specific areas of neurofeedback that can be explored further. Additionally, this type of analysis has been widely used to represent trend data of research in other areas, such as neuromarketing (Alsharif et al, 2021 and2023b), neuroscience (Lin et al, 2022) and neurorehabilitation (Tsiamalou et al, 2022). To the best of our knowledge, no bibliometric analysis studies have been conducted in neurofeedback.…”

Editorial: Understanding cognitive differences across cultures: Integrating neuroscience and cultural psychology

“…Numerous studies in cultural psychology have identified, examined, and interpreted cross-cultural variances in human cognition at different levels of analysis (Chentsova-Dutton, 2020 ; Chin et al, 2022 ; Lin et al, 2022 ). The renowned individualism–collectivism and holistic–analytic mental paradigms (Hofstede et al, 2010 ; Cleeremans, 2014 ; Hu et al, 2020 ) are good examples.…”
