“…The present study was developed aiming to present the international production of scientific articles about "education for sustainability" and was conducted with the specific bibliography support (Blagus et al 2015;Tsai 2015;Dong and Chen 2015;Gerring 2012;Holden et al 2012). The databases Web of Science and Scopus were searched to gather data.…”

IntroductionIn the mid twentieth century, Bush (1945) considered the difficulties a researcher faced to find the results that hundreds of researchers had attained. He observed how difficult it was to deal with great quantities of information and the increasingly time it took to keep updated and to produce academic works. Even though the Internet has been offering the tools, which could potentially solve this issue, especially via Web and the Indexation basis of journals, a kind of vicious cycle has been created that impacts the search process. There is an increasingly number of publications, easily created with online systems, to disclose the ever-growing number of scientific researches. Indexation systems like Web of Science and Scopus make millions of articles available to the public. Therefore, we can see that the situation Bush (1945) faced has not changed, once researchers are still dealing with the same difficulties to select the most relevant facts amidst immense bibliographic oceans. Consequently, the bibliometry gained traction as the researchers are trying to understand what is happening in their field of study (Tague-Sutcliffe 1992). AbstractThe scientific production on "education for sustainability" has been growing in recent years what demonstrates the attention this subject has gathered. To better understand and characterize this trend, a bibliometric study of international papers on the subject was developed. The results show that the production has been growing since the middle of the last decade, focusing on the field of the applied social sciences, environmental sciences, energy, management, engineering, humanities and psychology. Australia, United Kingdom, United States, New Zealand, Spain, Israel and Canada are the countries that stand out, and it was possible to characterize the evolution of the production in each of these countries in the last 10 years, as well as to indicate the most used journals, the associated sub-themes, the most cited papers, the most productive authors and their affiliations. This allowed us to understand how the research on "education for sustainability" is being developed, showing its level of maturity and the most frequent themes and journals that have published more papers in the area. It was also possible to identify some themes which present research opportunities. The practical results of this study serve as a guideline for researchers, helping them to explore the available bibliography and the better ways to convey their production.

“…Researchers may also use bibliometric methods to determine the influence of an author, or to describe the relationship between two or more authors (Tsai, 2011). In addition, bibliometrics can determine the quality of studies, analyze key areas of research, and predict future research directions, such as analyzing trends and forecasts (Tsai, 2015;Tsai & Yang, 2010) Structured searches were performed on the Scopus database, which is the largest academic database. Analyzing publication trends by utilizing the Scopus online database could help the researchers access the available research journals equipped with built-in analysis tools to produce representative images (Permana & Harsanto, 2020).…”

This article investigates the trends of scholarly publication in PPP research of R&D sector during the last three decades, including the publication patterns of the researchers' network and institutional structures. This article applies Bibliometric method by using VOSviewer to analyze and visualize scientific themes obtained from keywords ‘PPP and R&D’ through articles published in Scopus indexed journals. In mapping these keywords, this study found out that the most discussed topics include drug development, innovation policy, drug discovery, neglected tropical disease, global health, vaccines, and clinical trials. From these keywords, it could be concluded that the majority of the research areas of this topic focuses on the health sector. Lastly, this paper summarizes some future research directions and gives a recommendation. The recommendation is to make a mechanism for how PPP funding can be carried out in R&D activities. The PPP funding is not only meant for research infrastructure development but also R&D activities.

“…A few previous studies of ecommerce publications have been published. For example, Tsai (2015) classified e-commerce literature into eight categories. Other papers have reported on key research topics related to social commerce (Zhou et al, 2013), maps of the "core" of e-commerce research .…”

The rapid diffusion of information and mobile technologies has revolutionized the way we do business and how we conduct our daily lives. Electronic commerce (e-commerce or EC) has had an enormous impact on business practices and has become a new area of study for researchers in related fields. Thousands of papers on this subject have been published in the past two decades, most of which have been published in e-commerce (EC) journals. However, many such papers have been published in information systems (IS) journals. Information systems have become the core discipline that drives e-commerce research. The purpose of this research is to report on the profiles of e-commerce papers published in major EC and IS journals, and to determine whether papers that have appeared in EC journals differ from those published in IS journals. We surveyed EC papers published in ten major journals and conducted a bibliometric analysis. Our findings indicate that (1) more EC papers are published in EC journals, but papers published in IS journals are cited more often; (2) collectively, authors in the U.S. are the most prolific, followed by those in China and Taiwan; (3) more theories were used in recent papers than in earlier ones, and the TAM has been the most popular model; (4) B2C and consumer behavior have been the most popular subject areas for EC research; and (5) the core knowledge measured by the co-citation network was provided by the same group of authors in EC and IS journal publications.
