“…Alongside the historical value of its text, title, and edit history, Wikipedia’s references provide a rich source of bibliometric data with historical significance, too. Bibliometrics is a well established practice within the history of science (46) and has long been used in historical research (47,48) and digital humanities (49). Past studies into the bibliometrics of scientific topics on Wikipedia found that these are linked to wider trends in scientific knowledge (3,9), and tend to be from high-impact factor journals from both niche journals or general ones (2,11).…”

Since being founded in 2001, Wikipedia has grown into a trusted source of knowledge online, feeding Google search results and serving as training data for ChatGPT. Understanding the accuracy of its information, the sources behind its articles and their role in the transference of knowledge to the public are becoming increasingly important questions. Meanwhile, climate change has moved to the forefront of scientific and public discourse after years of warnings from the scientific community. Therefore, to understand how it was represented on English Wikipedia, we deployed a mixed-method approach on the article for “Effects of climate change” (ECC), its edit history and references, as well as hundreds of associated articles dealing with climate change in different ways. Using automated tools to scrape data from Wikipedia, we saw new articles were created as climatology-related knowledge grew and permeated into other fields, reflecting a growing body of climate research and growing public interest. Our qualitative textual analysis shows how specific descriptions of climatic phenomena became less hypothetical, reflecting the real-world public debate. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) had a big impact on content and structure, we found using a bibliometric analysis, and what made this possible, we also discovered through a historical analysis, was the impactful work of just a few editors. This research suggests Wikipedia’s articles documented the real-world events around climate change and its wider acceptance - initially a hypothesis that soon became a regretful reality. Overall, our findings highlight the unique role IPCC reports play in making scientific knowledge about climate change actionable to the public, and underscore Wikipedia’s ability to facilitate access to research. This work demonstrates Wikipedia can be researched using both computational and qualitative methods to better understand transference of scientific information to the public and the history of contemporary science.

“…The research utilized a bibliometric technique (Admoko et al, 2023;Kim & Lee, 2021;Yanuarti & Suprapto, 2021). Five steps in conducting bibliometric analysis include defining the keyword search, initiating search results, refining the search, compiling the initial data statistics, and data analysis Zakhiyah et al, 2021;Jho, 2018;Jo, 2020).…”

Medical physics is one of the branches of applied physics that grew up in the era of COVID-19. This research aims to explore the research trends in medical physics in the last decade. The specific objectives that will be discussed in this research are essential as a reference for future research on medical physics. This study utilizes a bibliometric study to explore the research trends of medical physics in the last decade. There are 2295 documents analyzed in the study. The study resulted in some essential points. The number of articles increased dramatically during COVID-19. Medicine and Physics were the top subject areas in medical physics. Authors from Australia dominated research on medical physics. The words “article,” “medical imaging,” and “physics” were weighted the most in co-occurrences of keywords. The USA was the dominant country, and English was the language used in researching medical physics. Allison et al. were the authors who gained the most citations. Research on medical physics resulted in four dominant clusters: medicine concerning science and medical physicists, some experiments in medical physics, the measurement process in medical physics, and the association of medical physics.

Analyzing peer-reviewed literature on augmented reality (AR) is vital for future research and development. The objective of the current study was to assess research activity on AR with an emphasis on education and physics education. A bibliometric method was applied using SciVerse Scopus. The study period was from 1978 to 2021. The search query found 3393 documents in the AR-related education literature and 97 in the AR-related physics education literature. The bibliometric analysis result shows that the similarity of the results of visualization of AR in education networks with AR in physics education is: that research focuses on students, and the majority is integrated with virtual reality. This research has implications for providing insight to the next researcher in finding gap research and novelty in the field of AR in education and physics education.
