“…The research method chosen was based on a co-word analysis [39], as well as on the h, g, hg and q2 indices [40,41]. The analysis of co-words allows us to analyze the keywords reported from the different scientific documents, with the purpose of looking for connections between the topics studied on the state of the question, as well as predicting the issues that could potentially be considered in the near future [42].…”

The progress of technology has led to the emergence of new teaching methods, among which Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) can be found in an attempt to promote the integration of technology and knowledge, combining technology, pedagogy and theoretical content. The aim of this research is to analyze the significance and evolution of the TPACK concept in the publications contained in Web of Science (WoS). The research method chosen is based on bibliometrics, specifically on the analysis of academic performance and on the analysis of co-words. The total number of documents analyzed is 471. The results show that research on TPACK is on the rise, increasing progressively in recent years. The main area of research is education and educational research, with articles, written in English, being the medium used by researchers to present their results. It can be concluded that, although there is an established research base, there is no single line of research. In this case, the main lines of research are “framework-framework-TPACK” and “technology-pedagogy-beliefs”. It can be determined that the studies on TPACK deal with the integration of technological resources and the analysis of their perception in student learning.

“…Some people think that many sources may indicate that the authors or documents have attracted the attention of researchers in specific fields [ 24 ]. In recent years, some studies have been conducted from the bibliometrics perspective: research on genetic factors in ASD [ 25 ], robot intervention research [ 26 ], education research [ 27 , 28 ], executive function research [ 29 ], virtual reality research [ 30 ], and a scientific research overview [ 31 ] were reviewed and analyzed. Specifically, Perez-Vazquez, E et al found, by analyzing the literature published between 2005 and 2017, that robots may help autistic children to experience real interactions in the future, but its methodological limitations will hinder the popularization of the research results in this field [ 26 ].…”

The World Health Organization has identified nervous system diseases as one of the biggest public health problems, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Considering the extensive benefits of physical activity (PA), the literature on the PA research of ASD has increased each year, but there is a lack of bibliometric analyses in this field. To investigate the research achievements worldwide, this paper adopts bibliometrics to analyze the trend in the academic literature on the PA research of ASD published from 1980 to 2021. The documents were retrieved from the Web of Science database, and the search strategy was to combine the keywords related to “physical activity” and “autism spectrum disorder” by using the Boolean operator tools “OR” and “AND” in the title. A total of 359 English documents were retrieved. Microsoft Excel, Data Wrapper, VOSviewer, and Biblioshiny were used for the visual analysis. We found that the number of published documents increased the fastest from 2017 to 2021, which may be due to the promulgation of the Global Action Plan for Physical Activity 2018–2030 and the influence of COVID-19 on the world. The United States and the University of California systems are in the leading position in this field. Cooperation among countries with different levels of development will help to jointly promote the PA research progress on ASD. The focus themes include “individual effect”, “social support” and “activity dose”. The analysis of the frontier topic points out that researchers are paying increasing attention to how to improve the health and physical fitness of this group through PA. This research clearly puts forward a comprehensive overview, theme focus, and future trends in this field, which may be helpful to guide future research.

“…This work has been developed following the guidelines of experts in this study method (Carmona-Serrano et al, 2021;López-Belmonte et al, 2019;Rodríguez-García et al, 2019). Specifically, this research has been based on an analysis of co-words and various bibliometric indicators and indices (h, g, hg, q2) (López-Núñez et al, 2020;Soler-Costa et al, 2021). This will give rise to a set of maps with nodes that will establish the performance and location of subdomains of the constructs connected to DIPA.…”

Digital pathology (DIPA) has become an effective discipline that generates a graphic environment to diagnose and interpret the pathological information of people. When analyzing the existing literature on DIPA, a knowledge gap was produced by not reporting a study that has bibliometrically analyzed the publications on the subject. The objective of this study is to analyze the scientific production and performance achieved by the term digital pathology in the Web of Science (WoS) database. For this, a methodology based on bibliometrics has been carried out, complemented by the scientific mapping technique to search, recorder, analyze and predict the scientific literature on the state of question. We have worked with an analysis unit of 1222 documents reported from WoS database. The results show that there is no research topic in the field of study of DIPA that stands out from the rest. A conceptual gap can be observed in the thematic development, given that there is no theme that is repeated in all periods, where the connections are more thematic than conceptual. There are key documents for different topics. The main themes have been very different over the years like telepathology and artificial intelligence.
