Using Bibliometric Analysis to Understand the Recent Progress in Agroecosystem Services Research

PurposeThe paper aims to identify the major research themes in consumer financial services between 2000 and 2020, their relative magnitude and interrelationship, to identify which themes have been most influential and to map the evolution of the field and identify emerging and under-researched themes that are promising for future research.Design/methodology/approachThe core methodology is bibliometric analysis based on keyword co-occurrences. A total of 1,227 articles extracted from the Social Science Citation Index, Emerging Sources Citation Index and Scopus are used in the analysis. Key outputs of the SciMAT software are the research themes, and graphical outputs are called science mapping (evolution of the themes over time), strategic diagrams (visual representation of themes in a 2 × 2 grid) and cluster networks (themes and connected themes based on keyword co-occurrences).FindingsThe findings show that customer satisfaction, innovation, corporate social responsibility (CSR), Internet and consumer acceptance were the main so-called motor themes in the study period. Furthermore, five areas for further research are identified and discussed: Issues related to technology; marketing and consumer behavior; markets and industry; product and service development; and branding.Research limitations/implicationsBibliometric research allows the researcher to process large volumes of articles covering a broad scope, leading to rich and insightful results. However, for greater detail and nuance, the authors recommend supplementing the results of this study with a more focused and thorough qualitative literature review for each theme of interest.Originality/valueBibliometric analysis is under-used in management research. The authors are not aware of similar recent work in consumer financial services. The main value of this paper lies in knowledge dissemination to a wider audience (including practitioners and researchers in adjacent areas) and providing a rigorous platform for identifying future research opportunities.

Abstract Background: The number of research publications on health policy and services has been strikingly increasing. This study aimed to reveal the current status and trends of global research on health policy and services and provide insights for health policy and services research. Methods: Based on the Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) database, research on health policy and services published between 1999 and 2018 were identified. The published journals, temporal trends, collaboration between countries/territories and research institutions, and hotspots in health policy and services’ research were analyzed using bibliometric analysis. Results: The number of health policy and services publications has been continuously increasing since 1999, especially after 2008. Health Affairs, Medical Care, and Health Services Research were the most active journals in this field. Scholars from the United States (US), the United Kingdom (UK) and Canada have published more related publications than other countries. Further, The US produced the largest number of independent and collaborative articles, and it took a central position in the collaboration network and had the greatest number of prolific institutions. Harvard University was the largest contributor of single-institution and collaborative publications and occupied a key position in collaborative networks. A keywords analysis demonstrated that medicare, quality of care, and primary care have always been researched hotspots in this field. The rankings of implementation, patient safety, and disparities have risen the most, suggesting a new research trend in the field since the 21st century. Conclusions: Our study identified the temporal and spatial characteristics, academic collaborations, and hotspots in scientific research output in the area of health policy and services. It can provide insights for health policy and services research and global health governance.

The Impact

No-show is a thorny issue within the social scope. It not only affects the sustainability of service system operation but also causes heavy irretrievable losses. To maintain and develop the sustainability of service, this paper adopts bibliometric technology to reflect the current status and future prospects about no-show research. And we strive to explore and summarize appointment scheduling methods for no-show problems. The bibliometric analysis was carried out from various aspects including research areas, countries/regions, institutions, journals, authors and author keywords based on papers harvested from Web of Science Core Collection database. The total 1197 papers show that the United States is in a leading position in this field, followed by England and Canada. University of London is the most productive institution with the highest total citations and H-Index. BMC Health Services Research ranks first as the most productive journal, followed by European Journal of Operational Research and Production and Operations Management. Through the analysis of hot articles, we can conclude that how to reduce the impact of no-shows on the sustainability of service systems has become the main research direction. In addition to appointment scheduling, other effective methods are also mentioned. Further study on these methods will be a major research direction in the future.

Objective Determine current health services research (HSR) publication trends in major general otolaryngology journals. Study Design Bibliometric analysis. Methods All main issues of 8 high-impact general-interest otolaryngology journals published worldwide in 2002, 2005, 2008, and 2011 were searched for HSR-related publications. To qualify as HSR, the abstract of the article must discuss access to care, cost, delivery of care, financing, health organizational or system issues, quality of care, resource utilization, and/or health outcomes. Otolaryngology topics were classified as general, pediatrics, oncology, otology and neurotology, sleep disorders, sinonasal disease, facial plastics, and/or laryngology. Other key measures included study authorship and external sponsorship or mechanism of support. Results Of 5958 total articles, 449 (7.5%) qualified as HSR. There was a statistically significant increase in the number of HSR publications across all journals from 2002 to 2011 ( P < .001). Outcomes research (337, 75.1%) was the most common type of HSR being published. The most common subject was oncology (112, 24.9%), whereas the least represented was trauma and facial plastics (4, 0.9%). First and corresponding authors were based in 31 countries, although the United States was the predominant country of origin. Nearly 95% of HSR articles in the current sample demonstrated multidisciplinary authorship. An estimated 22.9% of first authors and 17.8% of corresponding authors were female. Two-thirds of HSR publications reported no external sponsor, whereas the remainder was supported most commonly by philanthropy and hospital-based sources. Conclusion Health services research is an international, multidisciplinary field of inquiry with an increasing presence in major otolaryngology journals.
