“…VOSviewer version 1.6.16 was used to cluster the data and generate a bibliographic map [9,90]. To focus only on the most relevant publications and to work with a manageable data set, a citations threshold was set to a minimum of five [74].…”

“…Reports on the development of devices, which could be called IoT devices today, even go back to the early 1980s. For instance, in 1982, a modified Coca-Cola vending machine at the Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh was able to report its stock and the temperature of new loaded drinks via the internet [9]. In contrast, Jesus et al, consider an internet-connected toaster introduced by John Romkey in 1990 as the first IoT device that could be switched on and off [10].…”

In coherence with the progressive digitalization of all areas of life, the Internet of Things (IoT) is a flourishing concept in both research and practice. Due to the increasing scholarly attention, the literature landscape has become scattered and fragmented. With a focus on the commercial application of the IoT and corresponding research, we employ a co-citation analysis and literature review to structure the field. We find and describe 19 research themes. To consolidate the extant research, we propose a research framework, which is based on a theoretical implementation process of IoT as a concept, specific IoT applications, or architectures integrated in an adapted input–process–output model. The main variables of the model are an initial definition and conceptualization of an IoT concept (input), which goes through an evaluation process (process), before it is implemented and can have an impact in practice (output). The paper contributes to interdisciplinary research relating to a business and management perspective on IoT by providing a holistic overview of predominant research themes and an integrative research framework.

“…Note that the second part of the ID corresponds to the ranking number based on the metrics of "total links strength" first and then "occurrences," as shown to the right of the column ID in Table 2. The metric "total link strength" is the derived indicator provided by VOSviewer to attribute the total strength of the links of a node with other nodes in the network, and such an attribution suggests how nodes are closely related in terms of distance (MacDonald and Dressler, 2018;Yu et al, 2020;Elisha and Viljoen, 2021).…”

Carbon Neutrality Policies and Technologies: A Scientometric Analysis of Social Science Disciplines

Carbon neutrality, or “net zero”, has become the impact assessment project of human impact on Earth, increasingly structured to examine the implications, for the environment and people, of proposed actions and consequences of inaction. International and local collaboration efforts have been made with the aim of achieving carbon neutrality or “net-zero” emissions; thus, policies and technological innovations have been developed. Such impact-oriented risk assessment and control efforts amount to carbon-neutral pathways. Although such pathways may diverge in terms of energy, resources, and cost, it is critical to summarize essential and promising preparatory work on related policies and technologies to inform both policy-makers and social scientists to take actions. Through a scientometric analysis and systematic review of the latest social science literature, the study identified the size, scope and exemplar work for each social science discipline on carbon neutrality, based on 907 articles collected in early 2021 from the Web of Science database. This study reveals a set of disciplines focusing on certain common and distinct aspects of carbon neutrality. By outlining the possibilities and application areas for future research and policy development for socio-technical transition towards a net-zero or post-carbon future, this study has contributed to the understanding of the global efforts to achieve a clearer and viable carbon-neutral pathway. In conclusion, as many aspects of the planet and humans have become datafied, digitized, and networked, carbon neutrality, as the ecological indicator that guide human production and consumption patterns, must take on a central role in guiding our conscious green digital transformation of many political, economic, social and psychological aspects of our societies according to the existing and emerging social science knowledge.

“…Deviating from the standard use of citation analysis for journal rankings, Mohler (2005) used citation analysis to assess effectiveness of library instruction given to first-year engineering students by reviewing student bibliographies. Librarians are increasingly using data visualization to explore citation networks through visual maps and nodes as well as other decision-making projects (Eaton 2017;MacDonald and Dressler 2018;Murphy 2013) Ellegaard and Wallin (2015) conducted a meta-study on bibliometrics and found that, while the majority of the literature is published by the information and library science field, a growing number of subject-based citation studies have been published in the applied, health, physical, and life sciences. Bibliometrics have been used to measure journal impact factors for tenure and promotion purposes (Mering 2017;Morrisey 2002), understanding motivations for faculty citation behavior (Bornmann and Hans-Dieter 2008) and citations used in successful National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health grants (Monroe-Gulick, Currie, and Weller 2014).…”

Increased efforts to diversify science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education in the United States have increased the number of studies regarding the experiences of women in STEM programs in higher education. Using citation analysis and data visualization, this study aims to determine the major publishers and journals in this area. We reviewed 647 articles published between 2007 and 2018. Citations were concentrated on a small core set of journals and then scattered over other publications. Overall, just 3% percent of the publications accounted for 25% percent of the citations. The ramifications for STEM librarians and collection development are discussed.
