Bibliometric analysis of 3105 publications retrieved from the Scopus database was conducted to evaluate bibliographic content of scientific output on social sciences in Vietnam, for the 2000–2019 period. Our main findings show that the number of publications on social sciences from Vietnam has increased significantly over the last two decades, and there was a spike in the scientific output for the recent three years when the number of publications accounted for 53.76% of the collection. The most productive authors came from a few public research institutes with strong resources as the top 10 institutions participated in 44.22% of the collection. Vietnamese scholars tend not to submit their works to high-ranking journals since five Q1 journals in the top 10 publishing journals published only 6.17% of the collection. For international collaboration, Australia and the United States ranked first and second based on the number of publications and citations. Other countries in top 10 mostly located in Europe and Asia. Research topics were diverse focusing on gender, poverty, HIV, higher education and sustainable development. We suggest that supporting policies and funding need to be provided to help Vietnamese scholars improve their works, and to boost their scientific production in the future.

The article presents the results of the publications' analysis on the issue of sensory marketing. The study was conducted using bibliometric analysis, and the visualization method was used to visualize the results. In total, to achieve the goal of this study, 182 publications (articles) from the Scopus database for the period from 2004 to 2020 were processed. The search in the Scopus database was performed in the field "title, abstract, keywords". Visualization of the results was performed using VOSviewer programs. The analysis provides the following results. First, the study found that the problem of sensory marketing is quite new and in development. The total number of publications in the field of sensory marketing, as well as the number of citations, is gradually increasing since 2011. The peak of publishing activity was in 2020. Second, one-third of publications are related to such areas of knowledge as business, management, and accounting, while 10% of publications are related to economics, econometrics, and finance, and 10% of publications are related to psychological sciences. Third, scientists from different institutions, countries, and continents work on the issue of sensory marketing. The scientific cooperation becomes deeper. It contributes to the creation of geographical clusters. The three largest clusters are formed around the United States, Great Britain, and France. Fourth, six articles were cited more than 100 times. It indicates their high scientific level. Fifth, the main "critical" areas of research on sensory marketing include sensory marketing, marketing, consumer behavior, color, and music. Around these keywords powerful scientific clusters are formed. Moreover, the research topic of sensory marketing was significantly deepened, moving from the analysis of the relationship between sensory marketing and consumer behavior in articles published before 2015, to a comprehensive approach of the sensory marketing tools use, their impact on product sprinting, storage, etc., starting in 2019 p. The obtained results of the analysis and their graphical interpretation are relevant and form the basis for a better understanding of the issues of sensory marketing. They can help to find the gaps and offer useful guidance for further researches.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyze the bibliometric characteristics of articles on innovation systems published in Scopus-indexed journals by authors with Indonesian affiliations from 1998 to 2019, in comparison with those published by authors from Singapore and Malaysia.Methods: We conducted a bibliometric and content analysis of publications in the Scopus database. A total of 138 articles from Indonesia, 209 articles from Singapore, and 309 articles from Malaysia were analyzed. They were classified by publication year, authors, co-authors’ country, affiliation, keywords, and journal title.Results: Authors with affiliations from Malaysia were more productive than authors from Singapore and Indonesia during 1998 to 2019. In terms of the quality of papers, Singapore had more productive authors than Malaysia and Indonesia based on the citation frequency.Conclusion: Although fewer articles on innovation systems were published by authors from Indonesia than by those from Malaysia and Singapore, the recent increase in the number of publications by Indonesian authors suggests that number of articles from Indonesia will soon surpass those from the other two countries. International collaboration will help accelerate the number of publications.
