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.

Background: The objective of the present review is to perform the 1st bibliometric analysis of sleep disorders research. Methods: The data was retrieved from Scopus in July, 2020 for detail analysis. Results: The 1st precise document about the sleep disorder was published in 1945. Till 15th July 2020, total 69657 documents were found in Scopus database. Approximately eighty two percent (57013/81.87%) documents are published in the last twenty years (from 2001-2020). We calculated the per year growth rate (GR) of publications (from 2000-onwards). The highest number of documents are published in 2019 (4337/7.90% of 57013) followed by 2018 (4249/7.74% of 57013) and 2017 (3974/7.24% of 57013). Infact the productivity index (PI) for 1950-1960 and 2011-2020 era was found to be 100.21. We also provided the details of the top 50 countries with maximum number of publications (from 1945 to July 2020). The top three (3) countries are USA with 24262 publications (34.83%), followed by UK (5566/8.0%) and Germany (4791/6.87%). We also performed the co-words analysis. Infact total 956643 (0.95 million) keywords were retrieved from 69657 published documents. After critical analysis we categorized them in different groups to show the trend in various domains. In the next phase of the study, only those documents were analyzed which contained the phrase “sleep disorder” in the titles of the publications. Total 3626 documents were found. We calculated the per year growth rate (GR). The continental distribution, the list of top twenty authors, sources/journals, departments or institutes, countries and research documents with highest citations are provided. By VOSviewer analysis, 6752, 36511 and 11473 terms in titles of the manuscripts, abstracts and keywords were recorded, respectively. This may help in describing the overall trend in these publications. Conclusions: The present study provides a detail list of top authors, departments, countries, sources and top 20 most cited documents. The co-words analysis may help in describing the trends in the field of sleep disorders.

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.

BACKGROUND: For augmentation and sustainability of Human Systems Management (HSM), it is significant to analyse and reposition journals, which is very well done by bibliometric analysis. OBJECTIVE: The study aims to provide the retrospective of HSM between 1980– 2019. METHOD: Scopus database has been employed to bibliographic indicators for the representation of available data for forty years. By utilising the VOSviewer software, bibliographic materials being drawn from keywords, graphical visuals, bibliographic coupling & co-citation analysis have been done. RESULTS: Results enabled to establish that the average number of publications remained almost the same throughout forty years, tinting the journal has been as vital in 2019 for researchers as it was in 1980. Citations originated drastic mounting with recently published documents in comparison with earlier production. CONCLUSIONS: Authors and researchers are suggested to cover knowledge and knowledge management related articles. This study suggests management to ensure the inculcation of more related areas in the scope by announcing special issues to broaden the journals’ scope as it remained the main reason for limiting HSM from gaining as much attention as it deserved.

Background: Possible applications of photoelectrocatalysis in the field of environmentally sustainable processes have inspired an exponentially increasing number of papers in the last decades. Less frequently, bibliometric analyses are presented, which are especially useful when a considerable amount of data is involved: metadata can be viewed from micro to macro perspective and may suggest ideas for future research. Objective: The objective of this study is to derive information on the research trends and to individuate possible gaps in specific topics, as well information on the authors and their related countries and institutes, and to quantify possible cooperation patterns between them. Methods: In addition to the classic data analyses immediately available on the database, such as the trend of the number of publications per year and the list of the most active authors or countries, the bibliometric analysis has been carried out using the VOSviewer software. Co-authorship and co-citation analyses have been performed, as well as co-occurrence of the keywords explicitly indicated by the authors. Results and Conclusion: Based on the publications in the SCOPUS database, the present work analysed the metadata relating to scientific articles published in the last two decades, dedicated to the research on photo-electrocatalytic processes and their possible application on wastewater treatment. Based on the list of the references present in the examined papers, the co-authorship analysis and the co-citation analysis also allowed the identification of the authors and the publications which have been most influential on the research on the examined topics. Indication has been obtained on the trend of the main topics investigated in time, as well as the current gaps in terms of content-wise and geographic cooperation.

This study examined sleep research in athletes published between 1966 and 2019, through a bibliometric analysis of research output in the Scopus database. Following a robust assessment of titles, the bibliometric indicators of productivity for studies included in the final analysis were: Distribution of publications and citations (excluding self-citations), top ten active journals, countries, institutions and authors, single- and multi-country collaboration, and 25 top-cited papers. Out of the 1015 papers, 313 were included in the final analysis. The majority of the papers were research articles (n = 259; 82.8%) and published in English (n = 295; 94.3%). From 2011, there was a dramatic increase in papers published (n = 257; 82.1%) and citations (n = 3538; 91.0%). The number of collaborations increased after 2001, with papers published through international (n = 81; 25.9%) and national (n = 192; 61.3%) collaboration. Australia was the most prolific country in terms of number of publications (n = 97; 31.0%), and citations (n = 1529; 15.8%). In conclusion, after the beginning of the twenty-first century, the scientific production on sleep research in athletes has seen significant growth in publication and citation output. Future research should focus on interventions to improve sleep in athletes.

Background: The aim of the research was to acquire knowledge as to how the development of scientific publications looks, while also to specify the scope of research on the area of ski tourism. The research process is concentrated on the following research questions: In what way has the scientific output developed in the field of research on ski tourism? Who is the principal participant (countries, universities, authors, titles of sources) in the accumulation of research in a particular field? Method: In the process of selecting the test sample as a source of bibliometric data the Scopus database was applied. The test sample (N=1500) consisted of publications that contained such phrases in their works as “ski tourism”, “ski hotels”, “ski resorts” in their titles or key words. A general profiling of publications was conducted in order to assess the trends in scientific output and the acknowledgement of the leading co-workers in the field of research. MS Excel was applied for the purpose of supporting the process of analysis and the visualization of results. Results: The analysis indicates that research on ski tourism is one of the aspects of great tradition. This has gained increasingly great interest among academic environments, which led to the breakthrough growth in the number of publications in 2006 indexed in the Scopus database. This publication output encompasses 26 research areas. Conclusions: The principal areas yielding the largest number of publications with regard to ski tourism are to be found in social sciences and science on the environment. The main authors and co-authors in this field are as follows: representatives from the EU and the USA, while the most productive research institution is Universität Innsbruck.
